That's the only way to describe Carmelo Anthony's amazing 33-point third quarter performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight. As we've seen during several games this season, the Nuggets got off to a sluggish start against an inferior opponent. But par for the...

In my Sunday column in which I praised George Karl for the effort he's put forth during the first quarter of this NBA season, I noted that Karl still deserves criticism for the way he's handling shooting guard J.R. Smith. I stand by what I said about Karl's coaching effort...

21 games into the new NBA season the Nuggets find themselves at 14-7 (a .667 winning percentage), are on pace for an NBA franchise best 55 wins, are tied for second place in the Western Conference and are giving up nine less points per game than they did last season. I think it'...

Unfortunately for the Nuggets, the team with the real dinosaurs on their roster - the Spurs - are a hell of a lot better than the team with dinosaurs on their jerseys - the Raptors. Before diving into tonight's recap, I want to serve up a brief disclaimer. I'm only writing...

Anyone who was a Nuggets fan in the 1990s is also a Rodney Rogers fan. We all remember Rogers' three three-pointers in nine seconds against the Utah Jazz in 1994. Or his ridiculous dunk over Dennis Rodman and David Robinson at the same time on his way to 31 points against the San...

In keeping with a tradition that produced victories over the Boston Celtics and Minnesota Timberwolves, the Nuggets continue to beat teams that point guard Chauncey Billups previously played for. And Chauncey is playing great in these games. 8-12 shooting, 5-6 from three and 14 assists to be ...

I have a lot to catch up on after the long Thanksgiving weekend so this will be a short post (sorry!). But I couldn't ask for a better way to cap off the weekend than watching the shorthanded Nuggets beat the shorthanded Rockets in Denver tonight (after watching the Broncos awesome victory ...

Oh, wait, that would be me. But at least I didn't bench him in a real game with 1:17 left after he put up 29 points (eventually 32 total), five rebounds, four assists and two steals one game removed from being DNP-CD'd for being late to practice. Nuggets coach George Karl&...

Well, it's a good thing I didn't start J.R. Smith on my fantasy basketball team this week! I suppose it would have been poetic (or something like that) had former Nugget Marcus Camby sank the game-winning shot for the Clippers to beat our Nuggets tonight. But Camby's missed...

Well, at least one Denver team showed up in the second half today! I don't have time to post a lot about tonight's exciting win over the Bulls, but I think most Denver Stiffs readers would agree that this was Carmelo Anthony's best game of the season hands-down. I've...

I know this isn't the place to talk Broncos football nor am I qualified to do so (it's arguable whether or not I'm even qualified to talk Nuggets basketball). And I promise I won't make this a habit if you give me space for one rant today, because it has to be said...

In response to my brief recap of Friday night's awful performance against the Lakers, I suggested that Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony consistently cowers when playing the Lakers. I took some heat for it in the comments but readers of this blog should know that I've consistently...

It's been a great 7-1 ride since the dawning of the ACB (After Chauncey Billups) Era, but tonight will be a sobering dose of reality for our beloved Nuggets when they play the 2009 NBA Champion Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center. During the last eight games that these two teams...

After watching the Nuggets beat the Not-Your-Father's-Spurs in San Antonio tonight, I was trying to think of the last time a professional sports team had been gutted by management, dissed by the national media and yet proved the naysayers wrong. Nothing immediately came to mind...

I just finished watching the first half of the Nuggets/Spurs and we're looking good...damn good. If Carmelo knew how to run a fast break we'd be up by even more. Anyway, I'm taking off for a business event and a late dinner, so I'll be watching the second half on record...

When you're a sports-obsessed dork like me, there's nothing better than pulling off the quadruple-whammy. That's when your favorite NFL team, favorite NBA team and both your fantasy football teams all win on the same Sunday. And they didn't just win. Three out of the...

In their cost-cutting mode, the Kroenke Cronies may have handed George Karl and his Nuggets a tough hand to play. But as noted before the arrival of Chauncey Billups, they still have plenty of talent and therefore, no excuses. These players just need to believe in themselves and play hard, and ...
