Out of town meltdown

 

Hey readers,

 

I was on a roadtrip over the weekend to ... Iowa. Iowa? Yep, Iowa. I meant to get a post up indicating I would not be around over the weekend, but a couple things prevented me from doing that. Had some friends to visit out in Iowa City and spent 26 hours in a car with no internet access. The good news is that Iowa is a fun place with nice people.

The bad news is we drove about 5 hours in a horrible sleet storm and I thought for a good amount of time that my life was in great danger. Sort of like the Nuggets season right now.

I'm thinking that the Nuggets must have been staying up all night drinking Tequila and eating chili because they have completely shit the bed. 3-7 in their last 10 games. 0-4 versus teams under .500 including a loss to the leagues worst team, record wise, in the loss to the Kings (14-49).

I did not get to see much of the Jazz game, but I did tune in when Denver was up big and figured they pulled off a major win ... instead I received a text indicating a collapse greater than the Grand Canyon. Had I watched that game live I think I probably would be writing this blog from behind bars because I probably would have started a riot in the state that provides us with The Field of Dreams.

I'm hoping this nightmare will end soon and the Nuggets will snap out of this funk, but I'm not all of too confident at the moment.

I'll be back later today with a Houston preview and we'll get the ball rolling here once again.

Appears to be taking the rest of the season off… I swear if we get no better than 4 seed and get bounced from the playoffs in the first round (again) it’s time to shove him out.

K-Mart too… He’s hurt every year… Time to make some more moves…

Panic mode...

There are some definite concerns that the Nuggets are slipping and slipping fast. Track record over the past few weeks is evidence and Nuggets Nation is obviously concerned. I’m fielding texts right now stating from a distraught fan that if Denver doesn’t win tonight he thinks they’ll miss the playoffs.

I think it’s a bit early to panic.

Panic?

We blew a 19 point lead over the Jazz and fell on our ass against Sacramento…. Panic? If not now, when?

thers no way you guys miss the playoffs

Q: Do you feel the city of Portland still wants you?

A: I know this team does, the organization does. Everybody else, I don't worry about that. We worry about our family right here (in the locker room). I know I got their back and I know they're behind me.

STIFF LIST (as of 4/26 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. METTA WORLD PEACE

Metta resorted back to Ron Ron last Sunday by clubbing James Hardenwith an "inadvertent celebratory elbow", landing him a 7-game suspension. Apparently, changing his name didn't prevent NBA commissioner David Stern from overlooking Metta's past behavior problems.

2. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS

The 'Cats are on the verge of securing the worst winning percentage in NBA history. Given that the guy who runs the team - Michael Jordan - had previously drafted Kwame Brown and Adam Morrison, should this really be a shock?

3. OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER
The team that was supposedly built to overcome the lockout-shortened season managed to lose 7 of its last 14 games, ceding the Western Conference's 1-seed to the Spurs in the process. Their reward might be a first round matchup with defending champion Dallas.

4. BILLY HUNTER AND DEREK FISHER
With report after report coming out about NBPA union head Hunter's shady, nepotistic dealings and questions arising about Fisher's own role in dealing with NBA owners behind Hunter's back during the lockout, this off-the-court scandal could prove to be more exciting than the playoffs themselves!

5. STEVE NASH AND THE PHOENIX SUNS
The Suns are on this list for squandering the last few great seasons from Nash. Nash is on this list for his stupidly stubborn loyalty to a franchise as awful as the Suns.
