'Melo Not an All-Star Not All Bad

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) It's official. Carmelo Anthony was overlooked by the coaches of the Western Conference and will not be an All-Star this year.My take?So what!These exhibition games are more important to the fans than the players themselves anyways and the snubbing is going to light a fire underneath him of the likes of which we've never seen. You watch just watch as Carmelo Antony...

Congratulations Chauncey!

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009

Mr. Big Shot is averaging a career-best 18.8 ppg (including 19.0 ppg with Denver), 6.5 apg and 1.45 spg through 44 games this season.

Taking Care of Business

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) The Denver Nuggets ate the Bobcats up like catnip with a combination of solid defense, fundamental offense, and a great energy from their bench. The almost boring win was a perfect example of a team punching in and taking care of work early against an overmatched opponent.You’ve got to love the first Nugget possession offensively. Chauncey immediately recognized that...

Game 50: Nuggets @ Wizards

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) The Denver Nuggets have a golden opportunity tonight to extend their current winning streak to four games for the third time this season against the woeful Wizards. Washington is tied with the Clippers for the league’s worst team, record-wise, at 10-39 and have lost seven of their last eight games with their only win coming against -guess who - the Clippers!This game...

Controversial Call Costs Nuggets in Houston

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Boulder-CO) The Denver Nuggets let a golden opportunity to beat the Rockets slip right through their fingers. What’s even worse about this, 115-113, loss is how the officiating played a role in it.The first half was a defensive struggle for both teams. The Rockets' first quarter and first half point totals were season highs while the points they allowed Denver in the first...

Game 49: Nuggets @ Thunder

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) There is only one thing you need to know about the 11-37 Oklahoma City Thunder - They’re better than their overall record indicates. But, I didn’t have to tell you that because the last time the Nuggets played the Thunder it took Carmelo Anthony hitting a game-winning three from the left corner with under a second remaining for Denver to prevail. Plus, they have an...

Which team is better?

Via The Nest  |  June 19, 2009
CevS (Defensive End - #72) asked: West: Chris Paul Kobe Bryant Carmelo Anthony Tim Duncan Yao Ming East: Allen Iverson Dwyane Wade LeBron James Kevin Garnett Dwight Howard I voted for them for the 2009 All-Star game by the way. The only one I’m not sure on is Allen Iverson, think I should vote for someone else? I wanted to vote for Shaquille because he brings [...]

Game 44: Jazz @ Nuggets

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) One of four of my favorite nights in Denver’s NBA regular season is here! Tonight, the Nuggets play host to the Utah Jazz; the most hated, least “jazz-y”, and always hyper-antagonistic team in the NBA. The Jazz were able to defeat the Nuggets on opening night, but this time around the Nuggets are a different team thanks largely in part to Chauncy Billups.It’s...

Utah Trumped Hard by Nuggets

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) Tonight, we toast the Denver Nuggets dominating the Utah Jazz, 117-97. Nothing makes me happier than sending the Utah Jazz back to Utah on a two-game slide as they slide a full game back in the divisional chase!In the first few minutes the Nuggets allowed the Jazz four of their first six points on uncontested lay-ups as a result of defensive breakdowns. The Nuggets then...

Carmelo Steals Oklahoma's Thunder - Again!

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO)) This game against the Thunder was like a bad roller coaster of which you throw up after getting off of only to find $50 bucks in the trash can when your done. The roller coaster was how bad the Nuggets played in the first half. Throwing up was Denver being behind by 17 points in the second quarter and allowing 70 points in the first half. Finding the $50 bucks was the...

That. Was. Gross.

Via Nugg Doctor  |  June 16, 2009
(Denver-CO) The Denver Nuggets just didn’t have their “A” game tonight in The Big Easy. In fact, nothing came easy as the swarming Hornets used a combination of solid defense and eleven different offensive scorers to down the Nuggets, 94-81, in a game where the Nuggets couldn’t throw a seashell in the ocean offensively.Ugh, the first quarter was an absolute abomination. I...
