1. THOSE THAT MISSED S.N.O. #5
If you were in Denver and didn't attend Stiffs Night Out, YOU missed out on a great time, better game, and the chance to have won incredible tickets to the upcoming Raptors game!

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Stays at No. 2 because up until the 2:19 mark of the 4th quarter against the Nuggets, the Melo man was just 3-17 shooting! While he was great late (went 8-18 from the 2:19 mark until the end of the game)... it was his poor early play that helped sink the Knicks.

3. BILLY CUNDIFF
He missed a chip shot field goal (32 yards) that would have sent his Ravens into overtime against the Patriots, the kick sailed wide left and the Ravens lost. Maybe Cundiff needs to borrow some of Matt Prater's tattoos?.

4. GMs THAT PASSED ON IMAN SHUMPERT
A total of 16 teams passed on Shumpert in the 2011 NBA draft. As a rookie (the No. 17 pick) he's averaging 12.3 ppg and went for 18 points, 7 assists, and 4 rebounds against the Nuggets in 41 minutes. Who says rookies can't contribute??

5. KOBE BRYANT
Sure he was 14-30 shooting against the Pacers on Jan. 22nd, but he missed a three to tie it up with time winding down and the Lakers are now on a three-game losing streak. Without Kobe's 33 points, the Lakers would have been crushed, but he missed a key shot and we haven't had a Laker on here for what seems like forever. Take that Kobe!

In 1976, the Denver Nuggets were one of four American Basketball Association teams to be absorbed into the National Basketball Association. 34 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 just three Western Conference Finals Appearances, a mere six 50-win seasons, 12 first round playoff exits (including six of the last seven), 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? 1319-1437 (a .478 "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
