1991 miles in distance, so we aren't very close.

Yeah, Dolan spends a lot of money too. I don't see knick fans hailing him. Kroenke spends a ton of money...so what. He also keeps a coach with a 3-16 playoff record employed. I don't understand why he gets a free pass for shelling out cash, it's not like he's helped this team by doing that. I respect that he doesn't mind spending the extra money and isn't like Phoenix's owner, but at least the Suns have been competitive in the post season. I think its obviously that we have an owner that has no clue how sports work, no one is scared of the nuggets in the post season because we are non-defense playing selfish pushovers. We need a new identity desperately and we aren't gonna get it by moving up to the 2nd highest payroll instead of the 3rd.

I'm so tired of sportswriters comparing the 2...Kobe is good, but no Jordan , no matter how hard he tries to mirror his game and body language. Kudos to the Celts fans for that chant, loud enough to be heard on national television.


Thank you, from a BOS fan. I was there cheering,"You're not MJ!!", as loud as possible. I think the only thing that seperates Den from Bos is the D. I think you have all the pieces to do it except AI. If AI was willing to chase the other teams PG all night then it will happen. Also Melo and AI cant be averaging 25 a game. Especially when you should be feeding the ball to guys like Kmart and NENE. I like NENE's game he is a beast. I could never figure out Kmart. He should be getting at least 15 and 10 every night. he never has.

Talent wise the Nuggets have more talent than any team in the 90's. They have more talent than the late 90's Bulls and for sure the early 90's Bulls.

Melo and AI are your two superstars. You have a DPOY candidate in Camby. Scoring in the frontcourt with Nene and Kmart. Solid guys off the bench in Smith, Kleiza and Najera.

This team just needs to be a defensive juggernaut and focus on that instead of just scoring.
