The State of the Nuggets Nation (as I see it)

PrintDear Fellow Stiffs,
None of you know me but let me just say I have been a behind the scenes Stiffs junkie for longer than I care to say. For the better part of three years I have laughed, screamed, and sometimes cried with you all. Nothing to date has compelled me to contribute but I must say this year is different. As Wayne so eloquently put back in 1992: "Today, I'm feeling saucy"! Looking back on 2003, I feel blessed that we landed that coveted number three pick and plucked that spunky "no-snitchin" star from the proverbial draft day clouds almost a decade ago.
Of course his tenure was wrought with ups and downs: playoff no shows, first round exits, and the like. But that is not what I would like to focus on. I would like to focus on where we are now because of his inevitable and well-earned departure. Today we all stand supporting a team I can't recall being this excited about. (The '10 Nuggets wereup there but let's all thank Deron Williams for how that ended). With the re-signing of Nene - a.k.a the Brazilian Beast, a.k.a. the South American snow cone (let that hair out son!) - I see great times ahead.
Some would urge caution ... Arron Afflalo is still nowhere to be found. I would say within two days he will be in camp. If there is one thing I have learned from the Masai Ujiri and Josh Kroenke brain trust it is to sit back and enjoy. For just as things seem hopeless, they always seem to swoop in and surprise us at the last minute.
With our old friend Andre Miller back and new additions like Kenneth Faried and Jordan Hamilton, I see a roster full of depth and promise, capable of winning as many games as George Karl allows them to. As per our other acquisition, which has been almost unanimously approved, Rudy Fernandez (as Spanish a G as I ever saw) and Corey ("Yes I was on that same Florida team" and "Yes I'm still in the league") Brewer should make for two crucial X-factors this upcoming season. (The other X-factor of course being Al Harrington's - i.e. Alfred Beef Wellington's - waistline).
As I have had the unfortunate pleasure of residing in Portland for the past six years, I can say that we should learn to love Rudy. True he is hard to like on any other team, but like bleu cheese I think you will all love him once he is on your plate. He was a fan favorite here in Portland until Nate McMillan decided that fast breaks were bad and basically relegated him to a cleanup role. I think we are all forgetting Andre and what a stud he can be in clutch situations. His I.Q. is vastly underrated and he will make an excellent fourth quarter point guard if Karl uses him the way I think he will. Yes, his jumpshotlooks like my great uncle Heston trying to raise the roof but let's not forget he did put up 50.
Long winded as this has all been I would like to say you fellow Stiffs have helped me through some tough Nugget times (thanks, AC), and I look forward to this season with bated breath. I ask that you all try to remain optimistic as I feel that this is finally a team we can get behind, for better or worse. Be proud to be Nuggets fans. Let's get on our feet for Dre's return. Let's get Nene to THROW IT DOWN for a change. And finally, let's enjoy what should be the the most back asswards season since '99. Go Nugz! Hold down Mile High for me until I return ya'll!!!
P.S. Prediction (38-28, 4th in the West, you heard it here first.)
Write respectfully of your SB Nation community and yourself.

A stiff is a stiff
even a prodigal stiff. Welcome BP !
BTW, I also share your optimism for this roster. AAA is an important piece and I’ll be much happier when he is safely signed.
In your portland-based experience, will Rudy be happy to come off the bench if Karl gives him freedom to run? Because I doubt he’ll start if AAA is back on board (as we all hope).
Great point
And yes I do think Rudy will be happy with around 25 min and a bench role. (As long as it is clearly defined). Mcmillan never fully trusted Rudy ala JR w/ Karl and I believe this is the main reason for his abyssmal stats last year.

Of course Nugs will have a good season
GK, after serving his early apprenticeship in Cle and GW, has 17 winning season, one at 500, and zero sub-500 seasons
Honestly
I kind of was hoping that we would have a shitty season so that we could get a good pick in the 2012 draft. Its pretty crazy how good the Nuggets are, but I still think they need a few more good players to make a contender and compete with teams like the Thunder. The 2012 Draft can do that.
I guess we can still be like the colts who are going 0-16 for the season so that they can draft Andrew Luck. I doubt the Nuggets will do this though.
I predicted the Broncos would be 9-7 this year
I predict the Nuggets will be the 4th seed.

Neither
Point was was that I underestimated our Broncos. I think by putting the Nugs at # 4 I am doing the same.
I can only see: OKC, LAL/Memphis (not both), and Dallas ahead of them. I’m not sure about the Clippers yet, but we’ll see.

I'm always pretty optimistic
But realistic.
And I’m usually right. Denver will be a playoff team and someone who could surprise someone depending on the match up. I agree with the consensus of Denver finishing at No. 4 in the West.
I really think if Denver played Dallas in the first round last year instead of the Thunder, who matched up well with the Nuggets, Denver would have taken out the team who would go on to win the championship.
Of course, that is all meaningless speculative history. But I think Denver can find some magic this year. And I don’t think anyone in the west got stronger except the Clippers.
Oklahoma City is still pretty effing good though. You all know I was a fan last year and I think they will win the division again. But I’d love to see more Perkins-Nene staredowns. And know that I’m not quite the fan I used to be, as I soured on Westbrook in the postseason. Kid was selfish.
Dallas has no hope at repeating and the Lakers, while still formidable, are receding, just like Kobe’s hairline.
"No one likes a beggar slightly overdressed"
The great thing is
that the Nuggets are built for the future as well, I’d say we are constructing a real championship force for a few years down the road. Masai has been able to construct a team that is in some ways rebuilding while still contending. Beautiful human that man is.

A little bit of body fat is actually really good for your joints
while getting in shape. Ironic, eh? Know that “healthy range” for BF% that keeps your abs from really showing? That’s the main reason it’s the “healthy range”. Joint lubrication. On the other side, too much extra weight is obviously horrible for your joints.

Well
The best gains are made on rest days, and after an 82 + game season combined with lifting weights and conditioning, he seems to have a good idea on how to take care of himself.

I agree with more of it than I disagree
Agree:
Mozgov is untested.
Gallo, AAA, or Lawson have to become star worthy.
Let’s hope Nene finds some ferocity with a new position and contract.
Disagree:
We lost a lot of depth.
Sure JR could score 20 + a game every 10 games, but he could shoot us dead. If Rudy can add 10 points off the bench, I’ll be happy.
If Timo can rebound and play tough D, then moving Nene to power forward will not only be upgrade from Kenyon Martin, it will be an upgrade from when Nene used to play center.
I was not that impressed with Wilson Chandler. Period. You guys scapegoat Ray Felton all the time, but he could at least play D and dish out the ball. His shooting and shot selection were suspect, but I liked the guy. Chandler had that stupid grab and lob shot, and the dude, in my opinion, was not that good at defense (sad for someone whose specialty is supposed to be defense). Replace the Manimal or J-Ham for Chandler, and I’m happy.
We’re going into another season underrated, but I feel like this season is when we make people pay for it.

And signing Chandler is not out of the question
I see it happening when we are doing pretty well and he comes back from China.
If Hamilton does well S&T Chandler for draft picks.
If Ham goes to the D-league, re-sign Chandler.
I think this break in China gives the nuggets a chance to see what Hamilton is about. They think he is a Granger/Pierce type player and I believe Ujiri when he says that. So I would take Hamilton over Chandler (especially because of the injuries on his foot).

by JR15 on Dec 15, 2011 6:48 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
I agree with much of this
But I want to point out that many Stiffs had more of an issue with Felton’s attitude than his play. Sure, there were nights where he played poorly, but he made it pretty clear that he would not be interested in coming off the bench and Stiffs have pretty solidly gotten on the Ty bandwagon for the starting PG spot.
That and I think that after Melo, we’ve lost our patience for me-first players. I mean, look at the love-fest we all have for Afflalo, who works hard and is always thinking about the team first.

There might be some doubt with league insiders as to how the Nuggets will fare this season, but I’m pretty sure that with Gallo and Rudy anchoring things, Denver has the best-looking squad.
I mean, Faried and Nene have beautiful hair, Moz has the mod cut and Birdman has his badboy look down. And it makes sense. Denver has got to be one of the hottest cities around. Just a fact, yo.

Nice read
I really liked the Blue Cheese analogy. I hate the smell of it but it tastes oh so good on a salad.
Anyway, I think that the brilliant part of signing Rudy AND Brewer, is that even if AAA asks for too much and leaves, that we will have a solid backup in Brewer and Rudy might shine in this style of offense, he seems to like the ball in his hand and I think if he was in the starting lineup, he would be able to take a lot of pressure off Gallo and really help this team, that is one thing I’d fear with AAA is that as much as I love AAA, I don’t like him when he is dribbling the ball for any longer than a 3 second slash and dash to the hoop. If AAA does come back though, all the better.
Rudy and Gallo might be our top scorers next year, crazy to think about, but with the strong supporting cast.. it might just work.
Atheist for Tebow!
I like it when AAA takes it to the middle
He has a pretty clean stepback. I am actually ok with him taking a bigger role on offense. We still have Brewer to spell him if he gets tired. I think AAA can do more than just hit the corner trey.

by JR15 on Dec 15, 2011 6:52 PM MST via mobile up reply actions
I really enjoyed him improvement last year
the first season we got him, all he did was shoot the corner 3, and was known as more of a defensive specialist. Then last year, and he was considered a very reliable 3rd option in the starting rotation. I think I enjoy it most when he pump fakes and takes it just inside the 3 point arch and shoots, he is definitely becoming a sharp-shooter on offense. I agree his pump fake is good and he did try to post players smaller than him last year, strong Bball I.Q there.. hopefully he has worked hard on his offense this off-season and become a great all-around player.. I just hope he can create his own shots this year, he one draw-back is that he does not have athletic ability nearly like J.R Smith did.
Atheist for Tebow!
But he’s smarter and more likely to be clutch in a game than JR

ESPN reporters Stephen A. Smith and Ric Bucher have both expressed that they wouldn’t be surprised if Kobe Bryant demanded a trade from the Lakers.
There is an air of speculation from both, but we wouldn’t be surprised either if he lets the idea fester in the public at a minimum. Unless the Lakers have an ace up their sleeve, it appears that they got worse this offseason. Kobe don’t play that.

Kobe kinda lost all leverage in a trade demand with the 3 years and $83.5 million owed to him. Such a cash cow for the Lakers. Can’t imagine any scenario where he’d get traded anywhere.
He has a no trade clause as well
only player in the NBA with one i believe.
Not any more there are now a hand full of players with that in their contract.

We are dangerously thin at the Crazy position
Whereas we used to be “3 deep at the crazy position”, I just don’t know whose going to hold the fort. We are missing JR and Kmart for just old fashioned crazy. And Melo could represent with superstar narcissism.
Looking at the current squad we have Birdman who really only looks crazy, but is actually kind of funny and cool. He does score well with the Christmas colored neck tat.
Amongst the new guys there’s hope for Rudy who has kind of a rep and shows potential to be a hothead. One can hope.
As for all the other new guys I have no clue.
Nene, Andre, Ty, Gallo, Moz, Kouf, AAA while great being great guys all rate about 0 on the crazy scale.

Blake had better scotch-guard the upholstery in his vehicle

Am I the only one.who feels like the Clippers got a lot worst with the CP3 trade?
They didn’t need him after the got Billups. Paul is too fragile to gamble your whole roster on. I’ve never been a big fan of him anyways. He’s quick but really not that great. I’ll talk chauncey or nash or rose or about 7 other guys over Paul. Seriously.
by NotWorriedAboutNuggets on Dec 15, 2011 11:29 PM MST via mobile reply actions
Not a fan either
seems like he gets real pissy, real easy and it seems to hurt his game. Anyone know if they are gonna keep Mo Williams? I imagine he is just as pissed about coming off the bench. I also really wonder if those 3, Paul, Billups and Williams, will actually get along, but hey bet they are the first and last team to ever have 3 all-star point guards.
Tough to say
They sure gave up a lot, yet their projected starting lineup ain’t too shabby. Don’t they have to go shopping now for some size to put on the bench? Kaman/Jordan was not a bad 1-2 punch at the 5.
I have to disagree with you about Paul. When healthy, he’s one of the toughest guys to guard in the league. And watch Griffin’s and Jordan’s stats rise. Nobody knows how this will work out, but I’m hoping the Clippers get more competitive and give the Lakers fits.

I´m surprised how much media experts say the Nuggs wants Rudy for his scoring and ignore Rudy´s ability to feed interior players.
Rudy´s passing skill is off the charts.
I'll believe you when I see it!
I hear great things about his overall game, I also hear things about his attitude, I think that is his Achilles heel.
Atheist for Tebow!
Fine.
I´m just trying to get you a litle bit excited about Rudy because I think there´s enough information to think he will pan out in Denver.
About his attitude, you probably haven´t followed the Blazers as much as I have as a Blazer fan since the year before Rudy went to Portland. Guys who went out of Portland have talked against Nate McMillan´s system, including Sergio Rodríguez, Rudy Fernández, Channing Frye, Andre Miller and Martel Webster. Nic Batum, still in their roster, has talked about wanting to do something else than “doing a Portland” and got mad at Nate more than once. Andre Miller even got into a shouting match with Nate McMillan after practice. Miller´s main complain was" they lied to me about my role".
Rudy has never had a problem but in Portland. Not in Real Madrid, Joventut or Spanish National Team, and all his teammates and former teammates, coaches and clubs speak well of him. I´ve got a conclusion out of that.
McMillan has complete control over what happens on the court
Front office recruiters sometimes tell players they’ll have the moon and the stars, but in Portland, the sargeant rules. For better or for worse…
I for one cannot wait to see Rudy flourish with the Nuggets. Dude is a high flyer and a good passer—and if he gets comfortable, he can shoot the lights out. “With more sanity.”

I put it up in a fan shot. Anyway, the various writers place our Nuggs anywhere from 2nd to 5th (!) in the NW Division. A fascinating read that includes AAA who creates his own shot and drives to the hoop, Corey Brewer who is going to be great and Rudy Fernandez who is never mentioned.
For the record, I disgree with those who think our depth has taken a big hit. We need to sign AAA to be set at the 2, but other position are at risk of logjam, especially with Chandler returning in March.
Nice video
Those cross overs on Tay were sweet.
I really like Rudy and can’t wait to see him play.
