Can you feel it...?

PrintHere we go, Nuggets fans.
Just 9 days away from the season opener. As far as the Nuggets went last year, I still think they have higher yet to go. I'm incredibly excited about this season and the additions that the Nuggets have made to the roster. I do not honestly believe that the Nuggets will be able to win another 55 games this season, but I do believe that they will win around 52 or so and challenge the Blazers for the division.
I'm going to the preseason game vs. the Twolves on Tuesday night and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I will get to (hopefully) see Lawson, Graham, White...sometimes preseason games are the best games for getting to see that first spark in a player, something that propels him to the next level.
It also means that I'll probably get to watch Kevin Love devour 3 pounds of nachos with cheese while sitting on the bench with his broken hand.
Remember, preseason games are just that - pre-season. The Broncos looked terrible in the preseason, and yet here they are at 5-0. The Nuggets have struggled some this preseason, but I do not think that that is any indication of the way they are going to be playing this year. I do think J.R.'s absence is going to hurt though, and I would be happy if we went 3-4 to start the first 7 games, TBQH.
Anyway...after a long summer of baseball and watching Rocktober fizzle out, I'm anticipating my Nuggets like none other. I hope you all are as well.
It's good to be back on Denver Stiffs/Pickaxe and Roll. :)

I can feel it...
…but it is more a feeling of impending doom. It will be hard for us to compete w/ Portland or anyone else when AC is playing 20 minutes per game.
WE WANT TY! WE WANT TY! (Please start that chant on Tuesday whenever AC goes on the floor.)
id also like to add sumthin
i think we should try to get kurt thomas from milwauke… prob capable w our TPEs hes a solid big for 15 min a game
i can really feel it now
kurt thomas-we have the same type of players in allen and andersen. once the season starts i would like to see denver try to get gortat from orlando.
anthony carter-denver has 4 new players allen, afflalo, graham and lawson that need to get experience running the plays on offense.
portland- last season was tied for 12th in team rebounding in the nba. they were 27th on defense and first for offensive rebounding. nene needs to do better then 3 defensive rebounds. denver wins the battle of the boards they will win the division.
pick up a calf every day pretty soon you will be picking up a cow
Thomas>Allen because of defense
