Thread: The Official Denver Nuggets Thread!

I dont even know if i can watch the NBA this year.

This dream team in LA, and Miami, while everyone else just drools and watches.

Nuggets finally stepped it up to a game 7 with the lakers. It will never happen again while playing against the Dream Team.

The roster is set (though it basically was set already). The Nuggets have waived Anthony Carter and Ben Uzoh, two guards brought into training camp.

Denver now has the maximum 15 players on its roster, heading into the season, which begins on Halloween in Philadelphia.

Carter played in three games this preseason, averaging 4.3 points and 5.0 rebounds, while Uzoh played in one game, scoring two points with three assists.

With Julyan Stone (hip surgery) out until probably January, Denver has only two true point guards on its roster, but coach George Karl has previously said the team should be OK, especially with the amount of minutes Denver expects reserve Andre Miller to play.

I keep expecting at least some of the NBA games to be cancelled, due to the storm. The Nuggets are scheduled to play in Philadelphia Wednesday, and with DIA cancelling flights to the east coast, I wonder when the NBA will announce the cancelled games.

The Nuggets will contend in the west this year...Iggy, and a hungry core of players will see to it that the Frankenteam they helped build on the coast, was for a positive reason. As a Lakers fan, I can see the Nuggets being a thorn in the side.

But not the team that's going anywhere in the playoffs. (I'd so love to see them kick ass this year though)

The Nuggets are a more complete team this year than any...Past years have Anthony ballhogging scoring 30+, no defense, early exits...Before that was oblivion...This year should be a better one for Nuggs fans...IMO

Once again, whoever does the schedule did not do the Nuggets any favors - only 5 out of their first 17 games are at home.

NBA Mark Spears picks the Denver Nuggets as one of the two most underrated teams in the league:

Last season, getting hurt, well, hurt Danilo Gallinari’s growth as a player. Now he’s injured again, although it might not be serious. Gallo has a left ankle injury and is day-to-day, heading into Wednesday’s season opener at Philadelphia.

“I don’t know what exactly happened,” Nuggets coach George Karl said. “I know he took himself out of practice.”

Point guard Ty Lawson has agreed to sign an extension with the Nuggets on a four-year, $48 million contract, a league source confirmed.

Lawson, 24, is one of the Nuggets' key players, the motor of Denver's fast-paced offense. In his first season as a starter in 2011-12, Lawson averaged 16.4 points per game and 6.6 assists.

The Nuggets flew to Philadelphia after practice Tuesday for the season opener Wednesday night, but Lawson tweeted: "It Looks like im going to be a nugget for another 4 yrs..Thanks to the Kronke family, Masai, nuggets fans and everybody 4 believing In me"

These are the same fans that booed Santa Claus, Carol... Philly is known for having the worst fans in the world.

Nuggets looking terrible against the Sixers tonight. They have turned it over about 20some times. Evan Fournier is playing a lot in the 4th. If tonight is any indicator, the Nuggets are horrible. 75 points.
Man, I love coach Karl, but you have to start to wonder if the man has the energy to coach anymore. He seemed sick in that post game interview

I was gonna go back and watch this because I had to work, but maybe I shouldn't.
