Around SBN: How A Letter From Tom Coughlin Helped One Fan's Recovery

Can we put the D back in Denver ?

well quickly glancing over the stats is it safe to say the d is back.  is it too early and can the nuggets keep up this winning streak in the regular season. 

against t-wolves denver got 13 steals in comparison to 8 by the wolves, outrebounded 56-46, created 19 turnover but giving up 14 turnovers

against the jazz they equalled in rebounds 41 apiece, 17 steals compared to jazz 9 steals, caused 26 turnovers but only giving up the ball 18 times

against the suns( the inside one) they got outrebounded by 4 (not substandially so this stat is irrelevant to a certain extent), more steals 12 to 8 and caused more turnovers 23 to 20.

i realise that its hard to judge because certain players from either side arent playing but its the team concept of defense during these games are important.

feedback......

Denver wont be getting any better on D. I know those numbers sound good but it’s only the pre-season. Im pretty sure that those teams will step it up once the season gets going.

FEAR THE NEVERMORE DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!

STIFF LIST (as of 1/30 by Jeff Morton)

1. THE ORLANDO MAGIC
After starting the season so well with the Dwight Howard trade drama (10-3) - the Magic have fallen apart (2-5 since) with embarrassing losses to the Celtics (twice), Hornets, and Pacers. Trade Dwight already!

2. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS' FLOP VS. NUGGETS
In the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chauncey pulled off an acting performance so good it deserved an Academy Award. If he was still a Nugget we would love it, but he's not. STIFF!

3. JIMMER FREDETTE
Dude, if you are going to take the game-winning shot, at least draw some iron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNO1goJOruQ

4. GEORGE KARL'S 4TH QUARTER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS
Getting out coached by Vinny Del Negro should be a nice wake-up call. Going away from Gallo. Leaving Al Harrington in. Using Rudy Fernandez at point guard. And going ultra small contributed to the Nuggets loss.

5. JEFF MORTON
For saying that the Nuggets would skimp on payroll and go cheap like the Avalanche. Clearly I was wrong and deserve to be on this Stiff List. I can only hope that the gods of basketball forgive me.
