Here's what others are saying about our Denver Nuggets...

Hochman: Bottom-feeders are no pushovers - The Denver Post
The Post's Benjamin Hochman notes that the worst teams in the Western Conference (sans Minnesota and Golden State) aren't that bad anymore. Nuggets head coach George Karl gives Hochman a classic Karl quote, saying: "You're not going to get four wins against Memphis and Oklahoma City. Now you're looking for 3-1, and 2-2 is actually OK."

Kiszla: Nuggets' effort is just so-so - The Denver Post
Kiszla gives the Nuggets a midterm grade of a C+. Seems pretty harsh to me.

Kiki Vandeweghe: The Accidental Coach -- NBA FanHouse
Fanhouse's Chris Tomasson chronicles former Nuggets player and GM Kiki Vandeweghe's bizarre circumstances that has landed him as head coach of the woeful New Jersey Nets.

Krieger: Nuggets finally able to brush away all that Jazz - The Denver Post
Dave Krieger does a great job delving into three decades of Nuggets history versus the Utah Jazz.

NBA Courtside Blog
HoopsWorld's Travis Heath gets Jazz coach Jerry Sloan on record calling out his team's performance against the Nuggets last night. Considering they were on the second of a back-to-back, I actually thought they played pretty hard.

"Do not rest in defense. You can spend 24 seconds in offense on resting. If you do good enough on defense, you will be able to rest on offense."

Uh?

I’m not sure if you’re new around here, or maybe haven’t seen the standings, but Denver is only 2 games in front of the Blazers. They’ve played 2 more games than the Nuggets.

No I know how the standings work

3 less losses then Portland, so if the Nuggets win their games in hand it would be a 3 game lead. That’s what I mean by loss column, at the end of the year the team with less losses will win the division obviously, that’s why I pay more attention to that column then games ahead.

Let's be honest here

1. Who reads Kiszla anymore?
2. Kiki was not named head coach he was sentenced head coach.
3. The Nuggets play down to their competition, which is fine so long as it doesn’t cost them a playoff seeding.

The STIFF LIST (as of 8/30 by Andrew)

STIFF #1: J.R. SMITH
Remember when I wrote that J.R.'s "nine lives may be up"? Well, that was last January. With Denver police looking closely at J.R. allegedly attacking former 14er Damien Lolar at a recent Pepsi Center shoot-around, it's clear that J.R. will never mature and it's time to move him.

STIFF #2: LEON ROSE AND WORLDWIDE WES
After commandeering LeBron's departure from Cleveland, Rose and Wes are allegedly working to move Melo out of Denver. Let's hope the Nuggets do what's best for Denver and not these two franchise-destroyers.

STIFF #3: RIC BUCHER
The man who once guaranteed that Kobe Bryant had played his last game in a Lakers uniform has been gravy-training on other reporters' Melo-related stories all summer long. Who does Bucher think he is, a sports blogger?

STIFF #4: MARCUS JORDAN
Like father, like son. Last week, His Airness's 19-year-old son tweeted about dropping $50k at the Aria casino in Las Vegas prompting an investigation.

STIFF #5: INDIANA PACERS
Brandon Rush has been suspended five games for violating the NBA's drug policy and 2010 draftee Lance Stephenson was recently arrested on assault charges. Larry Bird sure is doing a great job re-shaping the Pacers' already shoddy image.
