Utah Jazz at Denver Nuggets, Oct 28, 2009 8:30 PM MDT
Unlike our competitors in Los Angeles who hoisted up their 10th NBA Championship (in Los Angeles, 15th for the franchise) last night, our Nuggets will be hosting up a different type of banner tonight: our franchise's sixth division title. Whee!
I don't mean to make light of the Nuggets accomplishments from last season, but just want to put things in some perspective. The good news is that historically speaking, the Nuggets have played well (4-1) in games where said banner is lifted up to the rafters.
After winning their first Midwest Division title in 1976-77 (also the Nuggets first season in the NBA), the Nuggets crushed the Bucks 133-115 to kick off the 1977-78 campaign. The Nuggets would win a second straight Midwest Division title that season and open the 1978-79 campaign with a 118-117 squeaker of a victory over the Spurs at McNichols Arena.
Moving into the 80s, the Nuggets won the Midwest Division twice again. After besting their division in 1984-85, the Nuggets opened on the road in 1985-86 at Golden State and won, and then came back to McNichols to hoist up their banner and beat the lowly Kings 123-112. And to follow up on their 1987-88 division title, the Nuggets beat the Rockets 120-117 to kick off what became a disappointing 1988-89 season.
The Nuggets lone loss in games where they hoist a division banner came in 2007 when they lost to the Timberwolves at Pepsi Center 112-109. Kevin Garnett torched the Nuggets for 27 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks to spoil Denver's home opener. Garnett seems to have a habit of doing this as evident by his Celtics victory at Cleveland last night.
But pass success and/or futility has no bearing on the immediate future. And tonight, the Nuggets will hoist up that sixth division title banner followed by a grueling 48-minute affair against longtime division rival Utah. The Nuggets opened their 2008-09 season at Utah and lost, but went on to split the season series with the Jazz 2-2. With the Jazz's shooting guard corps decimated by injury (Ronnie Brewer could miss tonight with back spasms, C.J. Miles has a thumb injury and Kyle Korver just underwent knee surgery), I'm looking for the Nuggets to improve their banner-hoisting record to 5-1.
A victory tonight won't come easy, however, as it never does against a Jerry Sloan coached team. And the Jazz looked pretty sharp in the preseason, finishing 5-2 with victories over our Nuggets and division rival Portland. Keep an eye on Jazz rookie Eric Maynor who showed flashes of his talent during the preseason, and could potentially fill in the void left by Miles, Korver and even Brewer if Brewer has to sit out a few games.
It's Opening Night! I can't wait. Go Nuggets!!

J.R. is out
And I have a major hunch that GK is going to overplay AC…again. Hopefully, this time around Carter knows how to inbound a ball…

the jazz will go at him right away. he will get 2 quick first quarter fouls- 1 on defense for flopping and an offensive foul for a moving pick. stay on your feet on defense birdman it is going to be a long night.

ac starting shooting guard???
i think ac should start at small forward. that melo kid is really over rated and denver should get rid of him. nugs should trade melo and lawson to portland for miller and blake. it is nice to know that denver’s coaches and front office read our posts on this web site and listens to our input.

If a Melo-Chris Paul trade goes down...and if his son gets signed...
Then GK could do a CP3-AC-TyLaw-Billups-Coby lineup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frustrated by the Nuggets offseason!
So sitting here watching the Spurs game, waiting for the Nugs to get going, I have to ask again, why is Dajuan Blair not a Nugget? Still Puzzled about that one! Oh Warkentien, Bearup, and Chapman, the three headed remedial monster that makes up our front office. I like bringing in Ty Lawson, Afflalo, Graham and re-signing Birdman, but so far they have really dropped the ball on taking this team to the next level. They all sat on their high horse’ in the offseason and basically did nothing. Lets face it, last year we really lucked out drawing N.O. and Dallas in the playoffs. I’m not so certain had they run into Portland, Houston and maybe even San Antonio that they advance to the WCF’s, or even make it out of the 1st round. So while teams that I place ahead of Denver coming into the season (LA, Orlando, Boston, SA, Portland and Cleveland) all made potential moves to lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy in June, Denver sat back and gloated. The Nugs are so close to being a championship team and last years run has me hungry for more! I was hoping that in the offseason they would have had CB recruit his old Motor City teammate Rasheed to come to Denver for the MLE. Maybe use the trade exception from the Billups/Iverson deal to bring in a guy like David Lee. At least attempt to do something to allow us to compete with the Lakers, that short of Kobe tearing his ACL we have no shot of beating now that they added Ron Ron. So with the November 3rd trade exemption deadline approaching fast it will be disappointing if the aforementioned 3 headed monster does nothing to improve this roster! I can’t continue to be told about Nene’s upside and potential and expect him to show up this year and be the 2009 Karl Malone, which a man that possesses his athletism and size should be, or believe that JR is really ready to be trusted for an 82 game season and playoff run. So bring us in another piece and give us Nuggets fan what we have been craving all of our lives. It made me sick watching the Lakers ceremony last night with all their tradition and Championship banners! When do we get our banner and parade???
Oh and one other thing…….GK I can’t handle another season of watching AC!!!!! I’m turning 30 this year and his game is causing pre mature graying. Get Lawson in there stat! Go Nugs!

Dejuan would fit our team. He can run it (kinda) and rebound. He is agressifve on the fast break

but I’m not confident at all in George Karl’s rotation when he STARTS AC! Makes no sense. He’s going to make my Celtics-Nuggs finals prediction look stupid…

What do you think?
The trade exception, and Kenyon to Golden State for Andris Biedrins and Stephen Jackson.
Nene could move to the 4 spot, and Biedrins could play the 5.
Jax could start at the 2 and JR could be our 6th man and give us some much needed fire power off the bench! I think it could be pretty interesting, but not sure that GS would go for it?

What’s not debatable is that we were a couple of wins, and a couple of inbound passes, shy of playing for the NBA Championship. I don’t think that’s a scenario where you fire the HC.

Quick Poll:
If you HAD to get rid of either CB or Melo who would it be?
I’d have to say get rid of CB just ’cause of his age.

…considering how he’s thought of around here, this is a good thing?
by Chrysicat on Oct 28, 2009 11:15 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'd
rather have the studs pulled when the game is out of reach than having the studs playing meaningless minutes and possibly getting injured. So yes, it is a good thing.
Looks like he did two good things tonight. He played Lawson as much as he should’ve too!!

Melo...
Pick up a board and like 4 assists for good measure.

Basically said he hadn't felt like
“himself” the last coupla years. Could be because of the suspensions, the injuries, etc.- but this year he felt like he was all the way back. Physically & emotionally.

Alright folks…good first game. Some wrinkles to iron out but a nice win nevertheless.

What a great game, so awesome the Nuggets are back. The bench was huge this game. This team can be ridiculous if everyone gets rolling together at once.

Improvement comes from within, but also from a rookie
I really Lawson’s speed, and his ability to create for himself and others. He has a knack of reading the defense and playing it the right way, to push, to slow it down, to move the ball, to shoot.
But more importantly, (you heard here first :P ) Lawson’s meaning to the team is that Kenyon Martin is no longer a liability on offense. In fact, he could get back to the all star form when he was in New Jersey. Not since Jason Kidd, has KMart played with a point guard who can break down defenses and draws defenders with his speed (not Andre Miller, not AI, not Chauncey himself), and drops either a pass or alley oop to him. Playing with Miller, AI, Billups, KMart often received the ball in traffic and he had serious trouble finishing around the rim, so he often settles for 15-20 footers. Now with Lawson, like Kidd in New Jersey, he’s getting wide open lanes to the rim. Now he’s getting guaranteed buckets every game, he’s gonna play around the rim with genuine enthusiasm, his “thug” natures are going to come out again (in a good way for us), he’s going to be aggressive and do a lot of putbacks… I guarantee if Karl can maintain Lawson minutes, if Lawson can keep up, if KMart can stay healthy, this is a breakout season for KMart… 17 ppg, 9 rpg, easy.
In fact, it also works for Lawson, if he can make Kenyon score 18 every night, Karl is not even gonna look at AC again.
Knock on wood KMart stays healthy… and keep it up Lawson :)
by SnakefromHell on Oct 29, 2009 12:04 AM MDT reply actions 0 recs
Sounds great, hope you're right.
Also, K-Mart has begun well on his promise/hope to rebound more, particularly on the O end (6/11).

Nuggets Looked Good
Ty Lawson just adds another dimension to an already potent lineup that should only pile up the points as the season progresses. I can only imagine what will happen once J.R. Smith returns. The Nuggets are a team that can go the distance, especially if they don’t melt down as they did against the Lakers last year.

Stranger you're right
Ty Lawson made AC look like the D Leauger he is .
Ain’t no way in hell should GK ever look at AC to do anything except wipe the sweat off of TY Lawson and to give him some gator aide.
I’m really looking forward to tonight to see what that idiot of a coach we have is going to do
