Nuggets ALL THE WAY???

Don't know if any of you caught PTI today but they had Barkley on for the 5 good minutes segment and while talking about the K-Mart fine Chuck said that he thought the Nuggets would beat the Lakers/Rockets winner AND the Cavs and that they were his pick to go all the way.  It's crazy how all the national guys are jumping on the Nuggets bandwagon right now.  A few weeks ago most of them (including Charles if I remember correctly) thought that the Blazers were the only team in the West that could possibly beat the Lakers and that the Nuggets were a hot mess that probably wouldn't even get past the first round. 

Not sure that I'm that confident yet, but I just thought it was funny.  Anyway, go Nuggets tonight, go!

Chuck is a moron

He says things to get a reaction. Whether the Nuggets can actually win a championship is irrelevant. Personally I think we are capable of it if we do EVERYTHING right defensively, but obviously thats an enormous “if”. We discussed the emergence of the Nuggets bandwagon earlier. It’s definitely happening and it sounds like Barkley may be one of its most vocal members. Don’t think for a second he would have any faith in the team if/when we start losing.

Dude...

Everyone is suddenly behind the nuggs… The freakin’ loser here in LA called ’em a fraud! Well this fraud is half way to the conference finals…

We should come up with a national list of the losers who were against us, but are on the bandwagon now.. We were there when… We know who they are…

It's pronounced Moreno, not Marino.

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.
