| Damn those Nuggets!
Everything was falling into place; the team is healthy, winning some big games (big wins over Dallas, Golden St, and a split against Phoenix), they have the tie-breaker advantage against Dallas and Golden St., everything is looking great.
Then they lose to the Sacramento Kings. You know, the Kings: who were missing their two best players (Ron Artest and Brad Miller) beat the Nuggets AT HOME! The King's top player was Kevin Martin who had 36 points, and who was so sick he couldn't even shoot around before the game. Then some guy named Francisco Garcia (never heard of him) had 29 off the bench. Ugh!
So, instead of being tied with Dallas for 7th (and really knocking Dallas to 8th since Denver has the tie-breaker), Denver is tied with Golden St for the 8th spot with a HUGE game coming up on Thursday AT Golden St. Really Nuggets? You're going to go on the road against the Warriors and secure your playoff spot? Really?
BTW, Carmelo Anthony shot 19-out-of-24 from the floor (79%) while the rest of the Nuggets shot 22-out-of-66 (33%). Nice job you idiots! |
