I'd say it's actually been really really good this year, compared to years past. Tons of pictures, videos, interviews on Nuggets.com.

every single season dre shows up looking like the complete opposite of a professional athlete.

*edit, can't say "dre" anymore, because there's two of them. i'm refering to andre miller here.

at least he's in better shape than felton

I thought the same thing. He looks more out of shape than Karl in the picture.

@Manimal

They have a 90 sec clip of media day and a bunch of pictures, whopty-do. I want full clips of the press conferences, that's real coverage. Plus the DP has about 5 guys on the Broncos and leaves us with Ben H, I'm sure he's a nice guy but he's always late with stories and not one to dig below the surface.

Say what u want about Dre's appearance but dude never misses a game.

Can I get some honest opinions about the great "depth" this team has, I just don't buy it... yet. We have one completely proven reserve in Dre. A most likely solid reserve in Chandler assuming he plays like he did 2 years ago and the question mark that is McGee. We'll be starting our second best center, so McGee would be false depth. Every team has a hustle guy like Brewer and a young hopeful like Hamilton.

Sorry but after 8 of 9 years seeing this team lose early in the playoffs I start the season seeing the glass half empty.

like i said, i know it's not everyone's style. anyone who earns their living as a graphic designer can see the beauty of such a balanced minimal design like that. it works. as opposed to that clunky, goofy mess that was released. opinions are opinions, we all have them.

A few days old, but interesting interview with Igoudala about Denver and Philly.
Q: Now that you're in a new city for the first time in your career, how do you feel about moving? Considering the Sixers crept into the Dwight Howard trade picture last minute, is any part of you surprised or have you found more positives in the next chapter?

Iguodala: I take everything good. It's a different organization, but there haven't been any negatives at all, honestly. There are certain things I've never had before, like an open practice facility. I've been doing two-a-days all week. And on the second of the two-a-days, I was by myself. I would just go to the gym, open the door and walk in and shoot for like two hours. I never had that before. So I'm like, 'This is crazy.' I'm going to be in the gym all day. So things like that have been good. I don't even think of like, 'I got traded.' I just think of, 'Hey, I get to play ball.'

Also, I've just been through so much as far as variables. I've never had stability as far as like coaches. I've always had a different coach, a different GM or a different key player every year. My first year, I had Jim O'Brien as coach, my second year it changed to Mo Cheeks and we had Chris Webber, then the third year AI [Allen Iverson] got traded, and then two years after that Mo Cheeks got fired, then a year after that we had a new GM and a new coach, Eddie Jordan, then Doug Collins. It was like 12, 13 different things in eight years, so change is not hard for me.

It amazes me some of the things you find out about other teams, the 76ers did not even have their own practice facility, the Wizards refused McGee a big man coach, both things I would think would be an easy thing for a world class organization.

considering how much karl brags about not designing plays, and Billup's old comments that the Nuggets did not even have an inbounds play when he got to town, it makes you wonder how bad some of the coaches really are around the league.
