"Big Bertha" stays in the bag...

110409-wark_mediumThe Nuggets substantial trade exception - worth about $7.4 million - expired yesterday without so much as a whimper, so you can erase your hopes of a center like Marc Gasol or Jeff Foster wearing a Nuggets uniform anytime soon.  Is this a good thing?

The mockery that is the Lakers schedule...

Ap-kobe_phil_mediumWhile Nuggets Nation has obsessed over how the Nuggets will stack up against division rivals Portland and Utah, we've overlooked the tragic comedy (for the rest of the Western Conference) that is the Lakers 2009-10 schedule.

Preseason Game Thread: Nuggets vs. Lakers (8pm MDT)

The Nuggets are in Anaheim tonight to face the Los Angeles Lakers in the first game of a back-to-back with the defending champions. Game two of the "California Tour" will take place Friday October 23rd in San Diego. I'm not quite sure if these last two preseason games are for the players or for the vast number of Californians who want to see the purple and gold live ... either way we'll get to see the Nuggets twice on national TV. Tonight's game is on TNT ... so tune in and take a peek at your Nuggets before the regular season kicks off in just a matter of days.

Warkentien: "If we get stuck, Big Bertha's coming out"...

Caddyshack_mediumSpeaking with the Denver Post's Chris Dempsey, Nuggets vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien says: "If we get stuck, Big Bertha's coming out", alluding to a big move if the team struggles this season.  I don't doubt Warkentien's willingness to make such a move, but if the Nuggets November 3rd trade exception expires...how many clubs are left in the bag?

Preseason Game Thread: Timberwolves at Nuggets (7pm MDT)

The Nuggets get their first look at the lowly Timberwolves at Pepsi Center tonight.  With Wolves sophomore star out due to hand surgery, point guard draftee Ricky Rubio remaining in Europe and Al Jefferson bothered by an assortment of ailments, this game is going to be awful.

Update: Nuggets 129 - Timberwolves 100

THE STIFF LIST (as of 11/4 by Nate)

STIFF #1: DAN HAWKINS
After predicting 10 wins for his club before the season the Buffs find themselves just 2-6 with four games to play. To add injury to insult ... former 5-star prized recruit Darrell Scott announced he'll be transferring to UCLA after just 1 1/2 seasons at CU. Another black eye for the program and hopefully the final nail in Hawk's coaching coffin.  

STIFF #2: CHRIS PAUL/RAJON RONDO FEUD
Each player was assessed a technical foul after refs had to separate the two in Boston's 97-87 win Nov. 1st. After the game the arguing and posturing continued. As Celtics' coach Doc Rivers pointed out, the 180 lb. fight rule should be invoked allowing the two to scrap because, "It's impossible for them to hurt each other." Maybe Paul should focus more on his teams' 1-3 start and not on the opposing teams' point guard's ability to, "respect me as a man."

STIFF #3: ESPN NBA HEADLINES
The Nuggets headline today reads, "Nuggets sink Pacers to avoid taking first loss." Compare that to the Suns' line reading, "Suns remain unbeaten, hand Heat first loss." Thanks for the backhanded compliment Worldwide Leader. At least Yahoo! Sports got it right, "Nuggets off to best start in 24 years." Maybe I'm being too picky.

STIFF #4: STEVE NASH'S MINUTES
When has it EVER been considered a good idea to play a 35 year-old (36 yrs on February 7th) point guard 36.8 minutes per game? Nash is on pace to average a career-high in the minutes department. And while Nash has averaged 77 games played in five full seasons with the Suns, his chronic back issues could rear its ugly head out early at this rate.

STIFF #5: PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS
Sure starting the season off 2-3 is no big deal, but when head coach Nate McMillan begins openly questioning the teams' effort to the media ... look out.
