Official 2007/2008 Denver Nuggets Thread

[Cloudy]

What? I didn't expect Earl to post better numbers than A.I... He even took more shots than A.I.!

[Gedas]

Its clear, that Denver has to get rid of Boykins.

[The X]

I never thought I'd see such a nice stat line from AI....10asts, only 2 TO's....shot better than 50% from field & 3pt line....if he can put up 20-23 & 10 for Nuggets when Melo gets back, boy will they be good....provided Melo still gets his 27-30ppg....

[Chris_23]

Really good game by Iverson, you guys are lucky He did not push the issue, pulloed off great shots with good percentage, was very active across the court, and passed the ball. When Carmelo returns, this will be one helluva team with those two sleeve-wearing men.

[CMJ3]

Iverson is trying to prove he is a good player without having to score 50 points a night. Looks like hes gonna defer to Melo which is a strong sign that these 2 can co-exsist and build up some strong chemistry for the playoffs. If he can defer to Boykins and Diawara then he should be getting 15 assists a night when Melo is back.

Why should he defer to these 2 guys? He's probably the best scorer in the league, why should he defer to 2 guys that aren't even half as good as him when it comes to scoring?

[Scotty]

Great win aggainst the Celtics 116-105 (i think off the top of my head)
Iverson with 28 and 13 (once again off the top of my head) which is great. Everyone chipped in again too, they loked much better than they did vs Sac town.

[Mayerhendrix]

The new-look Nuggets and Knicks don't even seem like their suspensions are hurting them, once their respective players are back both teams have a chance of making a run to lead their divisions.

[Anthony15]

Ok, damn...snow, again....if it doesn't stop by 7-ish Denver time, I think the game will be postponed(the one on TNT vs. Sonics).

[sucram]

I certainly hope not. Get my first chance to see them today.

[CMJ3]

Do you guys think we can match teams like the Spurs, Mavericks and Suns with our team at full strength which includes K-mart?? I think we could, we have a very talented team which is now also running quite deep with our bench players playing quite well atm i reckon we could get over 50 wins this year if we continue playing team ball and possibly into the Western conference finals.

Im impressed with this team right now and we dont even have 4 of our starters playing in JR Smith, K-mart, Camby or Melo. I cant wait for next season either where Martin will be back along with Hodge which just makes us even better. Denver fans should be excited!

[sucram]

Pretty impressed with how Iverson has played thus far. Hopefully they can get the W or it won't mean all that much.

EDIT: Before you direct your 'bandwaggoning' words at me know that i'm really not that fond of them. Just felt like making a new signature Any good?

[Dramacydal]

44 and 10, 3 consecutive double-doubles. Damn I miss him...

[Anthony15]

Playin Hornets today, no CP3, Peja or David West for them, we're getting lucky breaks so far, no Artest, even tho we lost, no Allen or Lewis, now no those guys from Hornets. I wonder if Nuggets even left Denver or the game will be postponed, cuz the airport was closed again today, and more snow is expected.

[Scotty]

FUCK! What a piece of shit performance aggainst N/O. Lost by 10. We were up most of the game and our last qtr let us down. Iverson played average, the complete opposite to Seattle where he couldn't miss, where as he couldn't hit a shot to save himself aggainst New Orleans.
Once again Boykins scored more with 28 or something? Next up Dallas i think

[Anthony15]

Yea...Rasual Butler friggin ripped us apart, well AI should've done a bit better than 21 and 3. Dallas on 31st.

[shadowgrin]

The Boykins-Iverson team-up impresses me. These two can play together and dish big numbers. Too bad they'll be slaughtered in the defensive end by teams with good guards.

[Scotty]

Once again our Last qtr let us down, this time aggainst the mavs. They went on a 13-3 run or something to go on and win by 5. Iverson 28 points 8 assits and 7 steals i think... Boykins with 20. I felt we should have won, especially seeing they didn't have Dirk

[Scotty]

Currently into the 4th qtr aggainst Philly. Playing like shit again, although it seems Iverson is turning it up in this final qtr and the lead has been cut from 13 to 6. Camby is playing on the defensive end, but is struggling on the offensive end. He has 8 points 7 blocks and 12 boards.
Other than that everyone else is playing fairly average, we need to cut down on turn overs

C' mon Nuggz!
Do it for A.I

EDIT: Nup, were screwed now... Iverson has been ejected from the game and were down 12. He just missed out on a double double with 30 and 9. Although i don't know if that is such a bad thing seeing he had 7 TO's mainly from steals.
Diawara has a career high 23 points and 5 3's, shooting 50% from both the field and the 3pt line. Camby now has 16 boards but the Lead is 10 with 30 seconds to go...

EDIT 2: GAME OVER: 108-97.
A.Miller and Joe Smith performed aggainst there old teams, Miller with 17 points 10 assits and 4 steals and 4 boards and Smith with 12 points and 8 boards....

3 Game losing streak....

[Dramacydal]

I don't know whether to be happy or sad...

By the way, that referee's a bitch, you could easily tell that it was something personal between him and Iverson.

Come on, what a stupid thing to say. Its Steve Javy. Have you ever watched a game that Steve Javy officiated? Do you know the mans reputation? AI got away with more then Javy usually lets people get away with.

[Anthony15]

Javy isnt usually a guy that calls bad fouls on Nuggets, usually it was that woman, w/e her name is. Anyways, JR Smith coming back in 3 games, tough games tho. Lakers, finally we get to play Utah and Bucks.

[CMJ3]

Im just hoping we are getting the losing out of the way now and when the team comes back we go on a big Phoenix style winning streak. I think Iverson will play even better once Melo is on board.

I'm not talking about bad fouls. Violet Palmer is a terrible ref without a doubt. Javy is actually a good ref, but you can't talk to him. Every player in the league knows Javy, and they know that you can't push his buttons.

[CMJ3]

Denver are a real mess atm, terrible defense and very poor shooting

Camby went 5-16 against the Lakers
Kouba went 4-13 and Iverson went 5-17 these team is a disaster without Melo even with AI we still need Anthony to guide this team or everyone gets lost.

Looks like another loss is on the table against the Jazz tonight and i expect us to drop under .500 by the time Melo comes back, lets hope we have enough time to get our winning % at least above .600 to .700
