It might be the first dose of credit Anthony has received in a season of widespread Melo-bashing, but he certainly deserves it. His ankles have healed some, his mood has brightened considerably and the Nuggets, riding Anthony's increased efficiency, have lost to only one team (twice to Phoenix) in their past 19 games.
"I just see him listening a lot," Karl said. "Not only to me, but he's listening to the team a little better. And for him to be the leader he's got to do that.

In my opinion, Denver's not quite at the level where it's a matter of one more piece, at least not one more piece that will take them to the title the same year.

But I've got to admire your enthusiasm and support for the Nuggets, and I agree that they appear to be back on track, climbing up the ranks in the West.

Strange....suddenly Melo is getting "alotta love" and Bron has "faded"...although I think its stupid how their blaming Bron for the sacking of Silas and him being a GM/Player like Kobe.
