Denver Nuggets: Daily Links

Clips Nation looking for some answers...

Looks weird seeing Kenyon Martin in a Clippers uniform.

Steve Perrin of Clips Nation fired three questions my way about your Denver Nuggets and one about a familiar face:

SP: Kenyon Martin has been a Clipper for seven games. He was a Nugget for seven years. What can you tell us about what the team should expect to get from KMart?

Hochman feature story on Masai Ujiri

Newly re-signed free agent Arron Afflalo holds his new jersey with Denver Nuggets general manager Masai Ujiri.

Benjamin Hochman of the Denver Post has a FANTASTIC feature story up about Masai Ujiri today in the Post. It's a must read for Nuggets fans, so click right here and go read it. A small sample,

"I sit in those GM meetings and look across the room — you see Larry Bird, Danny Ainge, all these guys who you've read about," Ujiri said at a recent lunch at Sushi Sasa. "Am I in awe? Honestly I am, because of the opportunity life has given me..."

Golden Nuggets: Better on the road ...

The Nuggets have no problem frustrating opponents on the road ... especially those who reside in the Eastern Conference.

Of all the bizarre things I thought might happen during this lockout-shortened 2011-12 NBA season, I never foresaw the Nuggets being substantially better on the road than at home.

Giveaway coming: Mozgov Militia

Photo

As many of you know, I'm a big fan of the Nuggets young Russian center Timofey Mozgov. While his play on the court has been a bit up-and-down this season, my support of him has been consistent. To honor his Russian heritage and show our support of him my friend Rory and I have designed some T-shirts with the slogan, "Mozgov Militia" on them. I'll be giving away a very limited amount of the shirts here on Denver Stiffs and on Colorado Sports Guys ... stay tuned and be sure to follow me on Twitter so you don't miss out. Go Nuggets!

Golden Nuggets: Compressed season taking it's toll

Danilo Gallinari gingerly walks off the court last night after spraining his ankle and fracturing a chip in his foot.


In what some in the media are calling Monday Bloody Monday, last night, several NBA players went down with mild to severe injuries in one single night. Including a certain 6'10" Italian who's value to the team will be played out in front of Nuggets fans in the coming weeks.

Golden Nuggets: A look around the league

If Chauncey Billups was still in Denver, the Nuggets wouldn't have Andre Miller and a number of other players, too.

Before the Nuggets face the Grizzlies in Memphis tonight, let's take a look at what else is going on in the NBA. Timofey Mozgov may no longer be featured, this season, in every Blake Griffin highlight and the Colorado Sports Guys answer, "What if Billups was still in Denver?"

Golden Nuggets: The ghost of Chauncey Billups haunts many ...

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chauncey Billups (1) drives past Denver Nuggets guard Arron Afflalo (6) during the first quarter.

The ghost of Chauncey Billups has been haunting two franchises all season and now we can add a third to that list - our Denver Nuggets.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/21 by Jeff Morton)

1. OFFICIALS AT THE NUGGETS VS T-WOLVES GAME
In a short time frame the Nuggets went from up 9 points, to trailing by 3 points largely due to strange and downright erroneous calls from officials. Included in their greatest hits? Corey Brewer getting blocked out into the first row and somehow getting a foul called on him. Andre Millerbeing ejected for arguing a call where he was pummeled by Martell Webster and drew an offensive foul. Also, Luke Ridnour falling on his face and somehow drawing a foul. Nice going refs.

2. GEORGE KARL'S END OF GAME COACHING
In a very winnable game against the Thunder, your coach of the Nuggets decided to burn his two oldest players (Al Harringtonand Andre Miller) from the 8 minute mark of the third quarter, through the end of the game. Leaving them dead legged for overtime. Also, not subbing in defensive rebounders for Durant's last couple shots of regulation was a bit of a blunder. Gotta get better coach!

3. ROYCE YOUNG
Reading this article on CBSSports.com makes me wonder if good old Royce is secretly a Thunder fan ... oh wait. He also writes for Daily Thunder, the Oklahoma City Thunder's biggest blog. Go figure!! Listen Royce, dismissing that the Nuggets were down their two best players, and then using this game to prove a point about the Nuggets is a bit ... I dunno ... "salty". Don't you agree?

4. THE "INJURED ANKLE LEPRECHAUN"
What is the appropriate sacrifice we need to beseech this malevolent leprechaun who has cursed the Nuggets. Ty Lawson and Arron Afflalo both injured their ankles on Monday night. In addition to Danilo Gallinari being out with a severe ankle sprain and Timofey Mozgov just coming back from one himself. Listen, if you need me to get a goat I will.

5. FEBRUARY
Seriously? Can we be done with this month already? Time for March. Green beer and an incredibly easy Nuggets schedule. Can't get here soon enough.
