The STIFF LIST (as of 7/26 by Nate)

STIFF #1: COLORADO ROCKIES
The Rox have lost eight of their last 10, including six in a row. During the six-game losing streak Colorado has been outscored 33-13 ... and they might soon be the reason by buddy Rory has a massive heart-attack. But there are still 63 games to go and an upcoming eight-game homestand is hopefully just what the team, and Rory, needs to turn things around.

STIFF #2: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES/DAVID KAHN
Replacing a 24 year-old point guard with a 29 year-old point guard is just a sound NBA move ... uh? Kahn handed Ramon Sessions a 4-year $16 million contract last offseason and just gave the same deal to Luke Ridnour this offseason. In order to make room for Ridnour, Kahn shipped Sessions and young big man Ryan Hollins off to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Delonte West (who is still facing weapons-possession charges). Maybe Ricky Rubio will get to the T-Wolves before Ridnour's contract expires, but don't count on it.

STIFF #3: TRACY MCGRADY
McGrady has been shopping his services this offseason and after getting nibbles from the Lakers, Clippers, and most recently the Bulls ... T-Mac is still without an employer. The 31 year-old guard, with a rich injury history, apparently is not ready to accept a reduced role. Will McGrady's stubborness land him on a lottery team where he'll try to prove he can still be "the man" or will he accept being a role player and wind up in Chicago gunning for that elusive title?

STIFF #4: DANNY AINGE
The Celtics did lose defensive ace Tony Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies, but re-signing Marquis Daniels to a one-year $2.5 million deal is a little crazy. Daniels should be thanking agent Mark Bartelstein ... maybe the rapper can sing his agent a song. (Daniels is in the yellow shirt in the video)

STIFF #5: NUGGETS SLEEPING ON SIZE
The Nuggets decided to bring back Anthony Carter on a one-year $1.3 million deal. Do the Nuggets really need a third point guard heading into training camp over another big body? Check out some names still on the free-agent market: Louis Amundson (yes he'll require more money), Fabricio Oberto, Kwame Brown, Anthony Tolliver, DJ Mbenga, Nathan Jawai, Josh Boone, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Joey Graham. Denver still has the bi-annual exception to spend ... so maybe there is still hope of grabbing somebody.

Is Denver a city of front runners?...

In my latest SB Nation Denver column, I lament the state of Denver sports.

Chauncey officially on Team USA's 15-man roster...

by Andrew Feinstein on Jul 29, 2010 8:27 AM MDT in News and Opinion Comment 3 comments

Filling out the "Jason Kidd role" on Team USA, the Nuggets Chauncey Billups has made the team's 15-man roster. The roster must be cut down to 12 by August 28th, but with inexperienced guards like Eric Gordon and Russell Westbrook making the 15-man team, I'm expecting Chauncey to be heading to Turkey for the 2010 FIBA World Championships.

Nuggets trainer Steve Hess is cutting off his dreads

There are probably some Nuggets fans who have never seen Steve Hess without his dreadlocks, but he announced today via Twitter that he's chopping them off after six years. This is craziness! He's going to feel a lot quicker.

Billups is Team USA's leader... (Golden Nuggets)

by Andrew Feinstein on Jul 27, 2010 2:06 PM MDT in Extras Comment 27 comments

With little Nuggets-related news to analyze these days, it's good to see Chauncey Billups leading a team of young guys as Team USA prepares for the 2010 FIBA World Championships in Turkey.

Denver should be on Chris Paul's wish list...

When the news broke that Chris Paul wants to re-locate, the Nuggets surprisingly didn't make the Hornets' star's wish list. Here's why they should have...

Trading Melo is not an option

by Nate Timmons on Jul 23, 2010 5:00 AM MDT in News and Opinion Comment 99 comments

My collegue here at Denver Stiffs, Andrew Feinstein, suggested in his latest piece that, "if Melo waffles on signing the extension ... the Nuggets may have to do one more right thing and trade Melo while they can." While I agree that Denver should do something if Melo doesn't re-sign, I don't think anyone will be happy with the options.

What about Shaq?...

by Andrew Feinstein on Jul 21, 2010 11:52 PM MDT in News and Opinion Comment 68 comments

Desperately in need of a big man, perhaps the Nuggets should be looking at the biggest big man of them all.

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
