Re: The Nuggets Watch
How do things change quickly. It was a few days ago that Nene said he was going to have a huge season. Now it's a HUGE misfortune for Nene. Out for the season during his contract year ? ouch. He was looking at 9 mil a year ... that easily just went down to 5 mil a year if that. Its a fortune for the Nuggets future in economic terms, as he probably will sign for way less money and teams will be scared away because of his knee.
With all due respect for Nene, this helps the raps indirectly ... we should have a slightly higher than projected Denver pick just because of this. Camby hasn't last a full season yet ... tough road for the Nuggets.

Re: The Nuggets Watch
Denver is 0-2....so far so good!
The loss of Nene will force Camby to play more minutes...this may cause him to break down towards the end of the season....maybe we will not see a late push like last year.

Typically, a torn ACL is a season-ending injury, but Nene said he hopes to return in five months. Under that scenario, he might be able to play in Denver's final few games in April.
"A lot of guys return much quicker than expected, so there is a chance," Nuggets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said.
"He's going to come back 100 percent. He's hurt right now, but he's determined to come back and prove everybody wrong."
Nene, who will be a restricted free agent next summer, tore his ACL in the first quarter of Denver's 102-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night.
He also sprained his medial collateral ligament and tore the lateral meniscus. San Antonio doctors initially diagnosed the injury as a torn ACL, and tests Wednesday in Denver confirmed the bad news.

Ouch!!!!!!!! Poor Nene, that sucks, I always liked him. Denver is in Trouble - Kmart can't rebound Game1 2rebs
Game2 5rebs
Both in big minutes. WTF?? And Camby is made of glass. According to the Denver board, Karl said last night on the air (as he is suspended) that he is looking to make a move.

Yea the pick is top-5 protected which is why i dont want the nuggets to suck too bad. Just suck enough to be a 6-10 lottery pick.

Re: The Nuggets Watch
I don't think we need to worry about the possibility of 1-5 (they will not even by close to that). If it can be a 14-18 I would be somwhat surprised.... but pleased.

Thats the ticket - they are not gonna be a Lotto team people. I'll just be happy if they're a low playoff seed instead of winning their division and getting home court like many thought before the season. Picking 17 is a lot better than 25! Melo, K-Mart, Camby, Miller, Boykins - these are quality players. Camby was picked by several people to be Defensive POY this season.

For what? Kleiza and Elson? I certainly hope you don't mean Nene, who will be an unrestricted free agent after next season.

Re: The Nuggets Watch
Nene out for the season, sad as it is for a young player, is amazing news for Raptor fans. I thought the Nugs were a little overrated as is and now they look very vulnerable. We can't count on Camby going down for the count, as he played a lot of games last season, but he is going to get worn down.

Re: The Nuggets Watch
Even without Nene, they will still be a top team in the West.
Francisco Elson and Najera can fill in as that backup centre without anything lost, and Kleiza will be a nice fit in that frontline. A little thin, but I think they'll be okay.

What do you mean by "top team"? Top 3? Playoffs? Playoff hunters? I think they're definitely in the echelon below the top teams in the West, on the same level as many of the teams out there and that would include teams like the Clippers, Warriors, Sonics, etc. So while I would see them as a playoff team, even after losing Nene, I would hardly consider them a top team. But there are a ton of games left to play.
Great test for them as they rematch against the Lakers, in the Staples center. I'm definitely predicting another loss.

By a top team I mean up there with the Spurs, Suns, Rockets, Mavericks.
