Nuggets = E-L-I-T-E

#7 was in the building...Maybe he could pull a Favre and come back to play for the Broncos...I mean the passes he tossed to Rocky proved he still has it. I don't know about the rest of you but I would take a 60 year old Elway over Orton any day. I fear if he did come back Josh would trade him for some underperforming QB because he couldn't manage the "system"...But I digress...
Last night the Denver Nuggets got SF Carmelo Anthony back after a long absence due to an injured ankle. Melo wasn't quite himself, going 8-16 from the field, scoring 19 points and contributing four rebounds and six assists, but they didn't need Melo to be at his pre-injury best. Denver relied heavily on Nene, played one of their best "team" games of the season and bullied the Mavericks from the opening tip. They pounded Dallas, the team that hovers right behind them in the standings and the only true threat to the Nuggets 2nd seed in the Western Conference playoff standings.

This win just furthers my belief that the Nuggets are an elite team, and also proved that Dallas is just a good team. There is a clear cut difference between the clubs and the Nuggets are on a different level than the Mavericks. The Nuggets are a team that is capable of not only knocking off the Lakers in the battle for Western Conference supremacy, but they are more than capable of winning the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy. The Mavericks are a team that will once again have an exceptional amount of talent (and payroll) and will in no way live up to the expectations set upon them by their loudmouth and childish owner. How did this one taste Mark?


What makes me laugh is Cuban made the moves he made so that his team could beat the Nuggets. Nice to know that the money spent on guys like Marion and Gooden was not a good investment. Have fun failing again Cuban! Couldn't happen to a nicer and more classy guy!

Jackass...

So now the Nuggets have beaten the Lakers twice, once in Denver and once in Los Angeles. They just steamrolled the Mavericks and it seems like any of the top tier teams get leveled when they play the Nuggets. So does Denver have to make a deal before the trade deadline? After watching them go into LA minus Melo and beat the Lakers, it is tempting to say that they should stand pat.
But...the playoffs are a whole different game. Without a doubt, Denver has got to get bigger in the frontcourt in order to combat the size of the Lakers and keep Kenyon, Nene and Bird from wearing down like they did at the end of last season.

Denver should be considered elite now but another big body would be icing on the cake, the cherry on top so to speak.

GO NUGGETS!!
