Damn Knicks.

My money is on the Nuggets winning their division but still having one of the worst playoff records, landing us with the 15th-18th pick.

Seattle did win last night but were playing Portland. Bigman (Petro) development is going to be key in their season.

Expect teams like the Rockets to prevail as the season winds along.

Northwest definitely is the Atlantic of the West. Atlantic might be better though.

Melo is in way better shape than when he came in. I didn't think he was that athletic but he's getting way up on jams these days.

Nugz look like a 500 team to me.

Minnesota should get the win against Charlotte tonight (though you never know these days).

Denver has to deal with a deep Memphis team that's off to a great start tomorrow.

Twolves beat Charlotte and now lead the division. They're my favourite to challenge Denver for the Northwest.

Memphis kept rolling against Utah. Let's hope they can keep it up against the Nugz.

DENVER’S BLUES: Oh, the troubles in Denver… prior to the season, the Nuggets were an odds on favorite to win their division, .500 basketball does not win the Northwest despite a dismal start for the division. There are several internal storylines that are clouding the Nuggets and a trade maybe the only way to help some of them. Kenyon Martin’s knee is a major setback, the hope was the off-season knee surgery would have cleaned up the issue, but now it seems K-Mart may need micro-fracture, which would sideline him for up 12 months, and put him out of the game plan for at least 16 months – the Nuggets are hopeful rest will help, but the pain he’s having does not go away. Nene is having his knee repaired this week, so his recovery will be deep into the summer, when he’ll try to get a contract extension. The Earl Watson situation gets weirder – he did not get off the bench in the first few games, now he’s seeing minutes – word was he was going to be traded on December 15th. George Karl has gotten odd in recent days, while on a road trip he told media, he didn’t know what to do, and maybe he needed to change the offense. General Manager Kiki Vandeweghe is seeking a new contract from the Nuggets and it does not look like Stan Kroenke will meet Kiki’s price, no rumors are surfacing that Kiki could be gone next summer --- not a good situation for the Nuggets, no wonder they are off to a shaky start. Wanna good one? A source close to the Nuggets said last week, when The Nuggets staff heard Stephon Marbury could be had, they joked maybe Steph would be a good fit in Denver.

On top of all that...they lose their first rounder next year

SkywalkerAC · 11-22-2005, 04:03 PM

Denver gets Washington today after handling the Grizz. Should be a close game. Hopefully the Wiz can wear them down.

Carmelo is 4th in the NBA in dunks with 20. Gadzooks!

Another win for the Nuggets against a pretty good Washington team. Thankfully they play again tonight against Detroit.

One thing that's scaring me a bit is the possibility of Shawn Kemp signing on the cheap to bolster their frontcourt. If he's in as good of shape as it sounds like he is, he and Camby could be scary good together. George Karl's at the helm and I'm not sure if they had any kind of falling out in Seattle but I'd say they provide him with the best opportunity (to contribute on a winning team) and he's a good option if Kenyon is sidelined. Just a thought.

And Minnesota keeping pace. Looking to go to 6 and 4 with a victory over the Hornets tonight.

butr · 11-23-2005, 07:18 PM

Detroit smoking Denver 89-60 in the 3rd.

SkywalkerAC · 11-27-2005, 05:00 PM

Minnesota temporarily takes lead of the Northwest, pushing Denver down to 8th in the West. Kenyon is back playing but Camby's out? Anyone have a Marcus update?

If the season ended today, I think we'd end up with the 20th pick.

Houston's falling WAY behind in the western conference. (OT but they were definitely a team I thought would finish better than Denver...and I'm starting to feel bad for them).

Denver gets New Jersey tomorrow, who have to play LA later tonight. I think Denver's the favourite there but at least VC is back in the lineup

Minnesota gets a couple of days off after beating the Cavs and then get to face the Clippers at home. Pretty even matchup there IMO.

SkywalkerAC · 11-28-2005, 05:42 PM

Go...New Jersey?

They sure aren't looking like a special team but I sure hope VC and the boys come through tonight. Ya gotta love mediocrity.

SkywalkerAC · 11-29-2005, 03:47 PM

Yeah Nets.

Melo down with a sprained ankle but Kenyon's back in the lineup.

They get one day of rest and then go up against the Hornets, who are coming off a bad game. With Melo out and the Hornets playing decent ball, there's some chance they'll lose.

KG and the Wolves have a tough one at home against the Clips. I think they can take it though.

SkywalkerAC · 11-30-2005, 05:39 PM

Karl suspended for two games.

GO HORNETS!!!!

**Crossword** · 11-30-2005, 05:53 PM

Damn man, sometimes it seems you're more passionate about the Nuggets losing than you are about the Raptors!

Marshall_42 · 11-30-2005, 09:21 PM

HORNETS WIN!

They got got the Suns next in Phoenix, the Suns should win this game.
