Well this freakin' sucks.  I was watching the game with my buddy Matt and it didn't look that bad at first until we started to hear him screaming.

Get well soon Brian Butch.  With Petro gone, the Nuggets are now once again perilously thin in the frontcourt.

Meanwhile, Lawson was once again spectacular, and Coby Karl continues to make a case for himself as why he should get a spot on the team, throwing an excellent alley-oop to Roby off an outlet from Lawson.  The Nuggets have now won both summer league games over the Mavericks and Lakers squads by 18 points each.  Hunter looked like a promising PF/C and could contribute as a third string behind Nene eventually, from early signs.  Keep it going, Nugs.
