What's up everyone? I gotta tell you: I am HAPPY 2 be back. There's nothin worse than watching your team play without you. I believe in our squad, and just want us 2 have a good stretch when everyone is healthy. That's when we'll know how good we really r. But I'm back and hopefully Nene will be back soon 2. Then you'll see what the Nuggets r all about.

But you always have your ups and downs, what really matters is how you pick yourself up. One thing I wanted 2 do 4 all of my fans is show everybody a little more about what keeps me going, how much I've learned throughout my life and from my years in this league. That's why I'm happy 2 announce the launch of my latest project, a documentary that we shot during the last year. Carmelo's Way. That's what we're calling it.

Check out some of the trailers and outtakes here: www.carmelosway.com, and look 4 the documentary launching in the next couple of months. I'll let y'all know more details when I have it.

Back 2 the hardwood 4 me....

	Welcome back Carmelo. Denver isn't the same w/out you in the lineup... and as a Blazer fan, I'm excited to see you visit the Rose Garden tonight. Good luck on the documentary and stay healthy.

	Seeing footage of Baltimore makes me a little homesick. Charm City! PS: Tell your boy Fred that he should wear an O's cap instead of the Yankees.

	Amazing persistence @ Portland Melo. Gotta say the favorite play was simply the kick out to AI on the three - the timing was just right. - - - Will def. check out the docu. - - - and one other thing, your rebounding is classic, and I think that sparked everyone on your team when you had Kenyon and yourself ripping those boards down in the 1st quarter. - - - Didn't see it in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.......coincidence? Those are momentum boards....your fast break feeds off of those.

	Amazing game and a great win in Portland! It was a fight from the start to the end! I'm really so proud of you as a team! If you can bring this energy every game, you will beat them ALL!!!!! Let's bring it on the Jazz!

	That was one of the most intense regular season games I've seen in a while. From a fan's perspective, it was great to see. Awesome effort and I hope you guys have a strong second half of the season. Can't wait to watch the playoffs if every game is going to be like this!

	Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!! That game last night was like a playoff championship game. I'm just glad ya'll pulled out the win instead of Portland. When you're playin your strong game Melo no one can touch you man. I think you're the only forward that I've seen can take a shot and get his own rebound or anyone else's back to back and still score or get a foul from all them hackin you. When in dout Melo jump on the strong game down low and keep takin it to the hole man. D.

	yo melo keep up the hard work. like durant said at the draft - "hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard". ironic thing is that you're a hard worker AND you got insane talent hahaha. with you, AI, camby, KMart, and JR Smith, you guys have enough talent to win it all. live the dream man.

	IT WAS AMAZING TO SEE YOU GET REBOUNDS AGAINST PORTLAND!! That's what it's all about. OMG Melo, it was fantastic to see you get 7 freakin' rebounds in the first fucking quarter! You da Man Melo. That's what we needed. And the hustle, diving for loose balls, taking it to the rim, and fighting through contact! I was left speechless after the game, nothing more said. Good luck against Utah, I'll be watching. Loyal Nuggets fan Taylor Mendoza

	What a victory last night!. Way to persevere and let everyone know this is the season to reckon with. There were some bullshit no-calls late in the game and that can wear on a guy, but the win was impressive. The documentary looks top-notch. I'm sure it will be a big success.

	Wow the Portlant game was really an intense one,I saw u boxing out in the paint and the referees seemed to be blind 'coz they missed lots of calls.Besides,ur rebound is really making big progress . I went to ur Chinese new blog and found a very funny pic haha~it's pretty cute seeing u use a tiny mouse with ur big hand:) And also I checked ur another new website and the documentaris are really nice.Maybe next time u can have ur "prison court"(the video abt yr hometown) uploaded,too. Here's a ps I did,as an all-star present,hope u like it:)

	It's great to have you back Melo! It's tough watching the Nuggets without you! Don't get rattled by Harpring tonight. Keep you cool, stay melo and just keep taking it to the rim. No one can stop you. You got these guys tonight. Just keep attacking and rebounding like you have. We'll be there rooting you on. Go Nuggies!

	wass good melo im so glad your back you dont know how hard it was 2 see you go down that night but I see now that ur 100 % 2 me your the best player in the nba and im kinda upset that all these critics are saying that iverson has taken the leader role away from you please melo take it back

	34. beejer , February 07, 2008 \| Reply	0 pts \| \| \|
	Melo, I've gotta say you're my hands down favorite player. You're somethin' that isn't too common in the NBA anymore, REAL. You have been since day one, and I've got a lot of respect for you because of this. I've been a nuggets fan since day one, being that I was born in the Denver area and grew up going to Nuggets games when ever I could. I wanna thank you for saving the franchise, being that for a while there the team was pretty bad after losin' McD, Laphons, VanExel and Mt. Mutumbo. I don't know how many of these blogs you read, but I'd like you to know you've got at least one die hard nuggs fan in the northwest. I try and make your games whenever you make it to Portland (where my parents live) but it's hard to make 'em being that I'm out in Pullman, WA at Washington State. Good luck on Friday, and on the outside chance that you do read these posts and take any advice given into consideration...Richie Frahm. Apparently the Clips are lookin' into him at the moment, but he's one of my hometown heroes even though he went to my rival high school (we had Dickau). He's money from the arc and should come pretty cheap.

	Great game last night against the Jazz--tough loss, I know, but everybody played hard and that's all us fans really want from you guys. We'll get the next two in Utah anyways. You guys were a little unlucky (you had two shots towards the end, a three and the last shot of regulation, that were both 3/4 of the way down before they popped back out!) but you stuck with it 'til the end. I just want to say thanks to all you guys for the effort--I know if it continues the Nuggets have as good a shot at the title as anyone. Oh yeah, one more thing: I love when you play aggressive defense, but occasionally you have a possession where it looks like you're actively pursuing a foul. You keep creating what would otherwise be considered incidental contact until the refs are forced to blow the whistle==the attacking mentality is fantastic, but you've got to keep it under control. Now, I'm sure you've heard this before and there's no reason for you to listen to me, but you teammates need you on the floor, not in foul trouble, and you shouldn't deprive the world of getting to see you play! Thanks again for all the hard work, and keep it up. You guys have all been warriors lately.

	melo as a devoted fan if u do read tis lol...... u need 2 stop hacking u r playing gud defense but when the intensities up u tend to get on the ball handler to much and a foul out we neede u in OT and dat was a big game my friends a Jazz fan and we need the northwest division this year!!! Lets go Fellas!! one game at a time we Got Washington Tonight!!!

	Ey Melo. I was thinkin that maybe you and A.I. should do somethin like the Seahawks D are for the Pro Bowl and take the rest of the team wit you guys to N.O. I think that would strengthen the already close bond you guys have. Plus Marcus deserves to be there regardless. Just throwin it out there. Good luck tonight against Caron and the Wizards.

	Carmelo - you're killing me with the documentary...I CAN'T WAIT for it to come out. Thanks for letting your fans who love you have an opportunity to get to know you. I know there is so much more to you than just basketball, I can see it in your eyes. You seem to have a old soul. Now I will get the chance to know why. Welcome back, you came back strong. Hope you all get healthy because the West is going to be off the chain come play off time.

	i saw you playing at portland, im not a real blazer or nugget fan, so i just decided to see the team in town. You seem really cool on here but you acted like a jerk on the court, you had 1 technical then got away with another when you pulled martells leg from under him than went ballistic at the ref. just remember children are looking up to you.

	Congrats on last nights win and the 49 points. You will get the 50 next time. I don't know what you do when you can't play, but it seems everytime you miss some games you come back stronger.

	Melo what is wrong with U? What is your problem? R U crazy? It's like this..........if U r crazy I hope U never become sane again. If U have a problem, I hope it never gets solved. U need 2 play crazy, insane basketball like U did vs the Wiz all the time. That was simply unbelievable. The Cavs r next and U know they r gonna do any and everything 2 keep U from having another game ike that. And Melo please b aware of the fact that LeBron knows U so don't give n to all the antics that will probably b thrown at U 2 try 2 take your mind out of your game and get U frustrated. Last time it was Larry Hughes who got frustrated but U can bet that they will try 2 get U n2 that situation this time. I was really impressed with your game vs the Wiz because U never let your focus or emotions get U away from your game. U continued 2 play n2 the flow of your game. U have done exactly what U need 2 do 2 help get the Nuggets past the contenders n the West and n2 the playoffs. U have elevated your game 2 an all-time high...........don't change anything. I know U have made those close and special 2 U really proud...............................C U n Cleveland.
