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

Good Read: Nuggets In Six

Found a good, detailed read picking the Nuggets in 6

 

Because, despite Denver winning eight of 10 playoffs games, and seven by double digits, no one seems to be picking them to beat L.A.. Sure I’ve heard they could win. Or they might win. Of course Jennifer Aniston could find a husband while doing Pilates today. Khloe might replace Kim as the hottest Kardashian before all is said and done. But I don’t think anyone actually expects either to happen, just like no on actually expects the Nuggets to beat the Lakers.

I see quite a few people around calling Nuggets in 6. And quite a few calling Lakers in 7.

I don’t see many calls for either team winning in 5 or less…

The reasoning is that the pundits don’t see the Nuggets winning a game 7 in LA but don’t see the Nuggets losing any home games either. So either both teams win out at home (LA in 7) or the Nuggets steal game 2 or 5 (hence, Nuggs in 6)

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.
