The STIFF LIST (as of 8/30 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: J.R. SMITH 
Remember when I wrote that J.R.'s "nine lives may be up"? Well, that was last January. With Denver police looking closely at J.R. allegedly attacking former 14er Damien Lolar at a recent Pepsi Center shoot-around, it's clear that J.R. will never mature and it's time to move him.

STIFF #2: LEON ROSE AND WORLDWIDE WES
After commandeering LeBron's departure from Cleveland, Rose and Wes are allegedly working to move Melo out of Denver. Let's hope the Nuggets do what's best for Denver and not these two franchise-destroyers.

STIFF #3: RIC BUCHER
The man who once guaranteed that Kobe Bryant had played his last game in a Lakers uniform has been gravy-training on other reporters' Melo-related stories all summer long. Who does Bucher think he is, a sports blogger?

STIFF #4: MARCUS JORDAN
Like father, like son. Last week, His Airness's 19-year-old son tweeted about dropping $50k at the Aria casino in Las Vegas prompting an investigation.

STIFF #5: INDIANA PACERS
Brandon Rush has been suspended five games for violating the NBA's drug policy and 2010 draftee Lance Stephenson was recently arrested on assault charges. Larry Bird sure is doing a great job re-shaping the Pacers' already shoddy image.

I got into a bit of a quote marathon today using the movie A Few Good Men, it made me want to run home and watch it. The only problem ... I don't own it. So, I decided to hop on Netflix and see what old school movie could replace it. Once I got to thinking about older movies, I started thinking about basketball movies and what my favorites are ... the following are my Top 8 favorite basketball movies.

Masai Ujiri speaks about keeping Melo...

At his introductory press conference sitting beside Nuggets owner Josh Kroenke, new Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri (not surprisingly) spoke about keeping Carmelo Anthony in a Denver Nuggets uniform.  And for more get-to-know Masai news, I recommend reading Nuggets.com's Aaron Lopez's interview with the Nuggets new GM.

SB Nation's Andrew Sharp writes one of the most comprehensive features on Carmelo Anthony that you'll see coming out of the blogosphere. Sharp talks all things Melo: his pending free agency, trade possibilities and the fishy @ihatekatstacks Twitter story making the rounds. This is a must read for Nuggets fans.

Welcome to DenverStiffs.com!

In 1976, the Denver Nuggets were one of four American Basketball Association teams to be absorbed into the National Basketball Association. 33 years later, the Nuggets are the only ABA holdover never to have appeared in an NBA Finals.

In fact, the Nuggets 33-year tenure in the NBA has produced three Western Conference Finals Appearances, five 50-win seasons, 12 first round playoff exits (including five of the last six), 13 seasons in which the team missed the playoffs altogether, and three in which the team didn’t even win 20 games. And our cumulative record? 1266-1440 (a .468 winning percentage).

To quote legendary Nuggets coach Doug Moe, this franchise has been chock full of “stiffs” for over 30 years. And we - the fans - aren’t going to take it without standing up for all the members of Nuggets Nations.

Without any reservations, restrictions or semblance of good taste, this blog speaks up for Nuggets fans everywhere. In return for the hard-earned money we pay for tickets, apparel, food and parking at the Pepsi Center, and so on, all we ask is that our owner, management, coach and players care more about the outcome of each game than we do. For if they don’t, this blog will put them on the STIFF LIST and demand that they either shape up, or ship out.

We welcome comments, feedback and suggestions. Please email us at denverstiffs@gmail.com or ntimmons73@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,

Andrew and Nate
Lifelong Nuggets Fans
