There's a nice article on espn.com by Rick Reilly that explains some of what George Karl is going through w/ his cancer treatment.  It really blows me away how Karl is handling this whole episode; even through the worst of it he's thinking about the team and the mindset of the players.  Not that I didn't respect him before this, but now I am really proud to have him as our coach.

After tonights game, I have had enough with a constant play that certain teams and players keep doing.  I am talking about he oh so annoying flop.

We all know that Andersen needs to step up. The question is, how much longer is he going to hold up? As of late, he's been playing injured and almost refuses to sit. When are the Nuggets going to tell him enough is enough? We're all worried about K-Mart's left knee and coming back for the playoffs, but we're going to need Bird as well. I fear it's only a matter of time before Bird is so f**ked up, he won't be able to do anything except cheer on the f**king bench. 

Nene and Petro are playing pretty well, but they're going to need help. I think it's time Karl and the Front Office SIGN ANOTHER F**KING BIG and give Bird a f**king break.

Per request....here's some ACDC to get us started

I never understood why people were slurping the Mavs so much. They make a trade for Butler and Haywood and suddenly people think they were the team to beat in the west (outside of the Fakers) Then they went on a 13 game winning streak against a majority of patsies and even I was getting nervous. Then....

....the New Jersey Nets came in an showed us that Dallas is still Dallas. While the Nets didn't win the game, they came damn close....IN DALLAS. The very next game they lost to the Knicks at home...and their streak was broken.

Now...Dallas has enough patsies left on their schedule to challenge for the second (and maybe first) seed in the West with the Nuggets, but lets not proclaim them a "scary" team anymore. I've long said that as long as their offense runs primarily through Dirk they will be a "soft" team. Dirk will get his points, but they STILL are not a diverse offensive team. Haywood is a big guy....that's about it. Terry is injured...Kidd is old...Marion is old and should get some counseling from Hair Club for Men

I'm not proclaiming the Nuggets a lock to seal up the second or first seed. All I'm saying is look at the Mavs....think of Kenyon shoving Dirk to the ground....and smile to yourselves....they are still that team

Go Nuggets!

FUCK can we catch some king of break?

Earlier in the season the joke was started around a few of us Stiffs that if we could trade AC for a tuna fish sandwich we'd do the deal in a heartbeat, only problem is the other team would be getting fleeced.  Quite fortunately, Ac has stepped up his game big time and I for one am ready to give him his due.

Nuggets get a huge break this week.

After the game in Houston on Monday Night:

Tuesday Night: against the Wizards in Denver. Wizards coming off a Monday night game in Utah.

Thursday Night: home against the Hornets. Hornets coming off a (late) wednesday night game in Golden State

Saturday Night: Home against Milwaukee. Bucks coming off a Friday night game in Sacramento.

That's three consecutive home games against three teams coming off back to backs on the road, TRAVELING EAST. I don't see how the Nuggets lose any of these games.

The team did say that Martin is expected to return by mid-April. Martin is undergoing platelet-rich plasma therapy at the Steadman Hawkins Clinic in Vail.

That is part of the Denver Post article about Ty's injury. I just find it interesting that we finally got a time frame. To me that sounds like either the last game of the regular season or the first playoff game. Of course it could just be speculation, but at least its time frame, the whole thing has been rather vague so getting a time is good. Of course these things are unpredictble but its good to here something, just thougth i would tell the rest of the Nuggets and Stiffs fans

OK, not really but I wanted to share my thoughts on what would make a realistic and even better Nuggets team next year, I know most fans don't even want to think about next year right now as we head down the regular season stretch to the playoffs, but after watching the Nuggets play last night I could not help but marvel at Marc Gasols play, going 6-8 shooting and finishing with 17 pts, 7 rebounds, and 6 assist in a very competitive game until the 4th quarter when the Nuggets pushed into another gear to win big.   However I can't help but imagine what our Nuggets lineup next year would be if we somehow got a hold of Gasol, imagine Gasol-5, Nene-4, Melo-3, Affalo- 2 Billups- 1.  Not only would we have even more size and a true center with Gasol, but with Nene sliding to what he thinks is his natural position we would be more physical and our rebounding would be much better, for we rank somewhere around 20th this year.

Now, how would we get Marc Gasol?  And not only that, but who else thinks that he would upgrade or downgrade our team compared to that of the smaller lineup of Martin and Nene, not to mention what would we do with Kenyon if we ever made a deal like this?  I don't know how the other stiffs feel about this, but I honestly have a feeling that we need a guy like Marc Gasol, he truly seems like the perfect fit for us and I think with all the injuries Kenyon has had over his career, that he should maybe become a number one option off the bench, I am not sure how this would all work because of Kenyon's contract, or what we might have to give up for him so I wanted to ask the Denver Stiffs what they felt about this.

The nuggets are playing with a confidence now.  They can win and play without key players and leaders.  It is nice to see that they can win on the road now and that they aren’t blowing the second half of games.  They are able to keep the game close and play hard in the 4th.  Wow, last night, that was a nice.  AC keep pushing that ball up the court and dishing it in the lane.  Ways to go AD, Mr. Karl get well soon.
