here comes the bandwagon...

now that the country has had a chance to see the nuggets do something meaningful, im starting to see the bandwagon starting.  all the MSM reporters who spent all season dogging us for one reason or another now have realized what we have here.  ("holy shit!  how can they play defense w/o marcus camby?! impossible")   and also everyone who lives in colorado are starting to jump in. 

its nice to be popular, but im glad i can say weve all been here from the beginning, for the whole ride.  i say we ignore all the MSM glory-chasers and see how far we can take this.

What I found funny

Watching TNT after the Nuggets win …

Barkley goes from laughing the Nuggets off all season to saying Denver “has size” and goes “10 deep” … when all year everyone knocked Denver for being too small. Very bizarre stuff.

It has been great with the community all abuzz with the Nuggets though, especially down at the Pepsi Center before games … all the Nuggs fans together is great!

barkley

charles barkley is the reason i thought of this idea. he is the number 2 biggest nugs hater (behind bill walton) and even he is picking us. at this point im so used to people hating on my boys that i kinda prefer it that way. it is nice to see all the d-town peeps getting excited about our team.

Are you too cool for capitalization?

Well

I think there are good and bad things about the additional media attention the Nuggets have gotten for finally winning a series. My hope is this wakes up all these Denver sports fans who have slept on the Nuggos while the Rockies and Broncos fight out of their respective downward spirals. There is no doubt in my mind that right now, the Nuggets are the best pro team in Denver right now. Would anyone disagree with me?

Anyways, Barkley hated on the Nugs badly but also wrecked the Mavs even more during the season. It’s kind of hard to take him seriously as anything more than a talking head for comic relief, but I am a little bit glad that he didn’t pick the Mavs

I've noticed it too

Even though I’m in Australia, there are signs. Primarily its increased activity in all the different Nuggets blogs around. I don’t see anything wrong with it. I’m just proud that I’m one of the few that’s stuck by the team through all the heartbreak. Makes our crumbs of success of late all the more delectable.

Barkley is an idiot

Don’t get too excited that Barkley picked the Nuggets over the Mavs. He hates Dallas worse than any team. As far as being comic, it’s not too funny when he says that the Mavs are in the playoffs because they’re “lucky”. NO TEAM is in the playoffs because they’re “lucky”. They deserve to be there. You can probably tell I’m a Mavs fan, but the Nuggets are great too. I hope the game is called fairly and no one from either team gets injured. Then the outcome of the series will be for real and not because the other team got “lucky.”

The STIFF LIST (as of 7/26 by Nate)

STIFF #1: COLORADO ROCKIES
The Rox have lost eight of their last 10, including six in a row. During the six-game losing streak Colorado has been outscored 33-13 ... and they might soon be the reason by buddy Rory has a massive heart-attack. But there are still 63 games to go and an upcoming eight-game homestand is hopefully just what the team, and Rory, needs to turn things around.

STIFF #2: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES/DAVID KAHN
Replacing a 24 year-old point guard with a 29 year-old point guard is just a sound NBA move ... uh? Kahn handed Ramon Sessions a 4-year $16 million contract last offseason and just gave the same deal to Luke Ridnour this offseason. In order to make room for Ridnour, Kahn shipped Sessions and young big man Ryan Hollins off to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Delonte West (who is still facing weapons-possession charges). Maybe Ricky Rubio will get to the T-Wolves before Ridnour's contract expires, but don't count on it.

STIFF #3: TRACY MCGRADY
McGrady has been shopping his services this offseason and after getting nibbles from the Lakers, Clippers, and most recently the Bulls ... T-Mac is still without an employer. The 31 year-old guard, with a rich injury history, apparently is not ready to accept a reduced role. Will McGrady's stubborness land him on a lottery team where he'll try to prove he can still be "the man" or will he accept being a role player and wind up in Chicago gunning for that elusive title?

STIFF #4: DANNY AINGE
The Celtics did lose defensive ace Tony Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies, but re-signing Marquis Daniels to a one-year $2.5 million deal is a little crazy. Daniels should be thanking agent Mark Bartelstein ... maybe the rapper can sing his agent a song. (Daniels is in the yellow shirt in the video)   
  

STIFF #5: NUGGETS SLEEPING ON SIZE
The Nuggets decided to bring back Anthony Carter on a one-year $1.3 million deal. Do the Nuggets really need a third point guard heading into training camp over another big body? Check out some names still on the free-agent market: Louis Amundson (yes he'll require more money), Fabricio Oberto, Kwame Brown, Anthony Tolliver, DJ Mbenga, Nathan Jawai, Josh Boone, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Joey Graham. Denver still has the bi-annual exception to spend ... so maybe there is still hope of grabbing somebody.
