All Things Nuggets

If there was one knock on the Nuggets roster last season, it was the relative lack of size.
It still is.
Nene – 6-11 – is at center. Chris Andersen – 6-10 – is the team’s main shot blocker. The Nuggets have just one player that stands 7-feet tall, and that’s little-used...

Maybe J.R. Smith will start. Maybe he won’t.
This was never a clear-cut decision. Even should be in the eyes of Smith’s biggest fans, it isn’t with the person who matters most – his coach.
