Congrats from a Jazz fan 

Post#1 » by Ming Kong! » Mon May 4, 2009 1:10 pm

Hey guys, I just want to say, congrats on a fantastic, ongoing season. You guys are one of my three picks to take the championship. I'll root for you guys over LA, though I rather see Cleveland get theirs before you guys. ;-)

That Billups trade at the time seemed like a ridiculous trade for me, in terms of talent in return, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Billups is amazing, while I think Williams is a more talented player, Billups clearly has a higher basketball IQ for the time being, which makes him more efficient in a way beyond stats.

I think you guys got an absolute steal in Chris Andersen. I would love to see the Jazz get him, but I'm sure Denver will do everything in their power to keep him.

While I don't like a few of the players on your team, as a whole, the unit fights hard on defense, which is FAR MORE than I can say for the Jazz.

Good luck in your title run, and in years to come. I hope the Jazz can get a few defensive players, so they can rise up, and give you guys a run for your money. :-)

Many thanks. It's been a while since the Nuggets had a better season than Utah, so we'll take it. I imagine plenty of competitive division races to come with the three talented NW division teams.

You might even want to add the Thunder into that. We could have a very competitive division for some years to come.

Throw the TWolves into the mix. McHale got them winning after he took over as the coach, and they were playing good ball before Jefferson went down. This Division will soon be a battle ground from top to bottom. Opposing teams will start to cringe even more at road trips through the NW division.

Wow I thought the Billups trade was great the moment I heard about it. If you didn't realize it was a good trade you probably didn't watch Iverson's constant chucking, selfishness and horrific defense while he was in Denver.

Last night when Houston beat the Lakers for the first time all season the thought entered my head that the Nuggets could make it to the finals and win a championship. They are that good and if Houston can upset the Lakers Denver would have homecourt and Houston can't matchup with Denver in my opinion. Denver is too fast, too athletic and with them actually giving a damn about defense for the first time in years they are too much for Ming and the Rockets.

Denver fans I know it's early and you have to have some respect for Dallas, but being real the Mavs aren't on the same level as the Nuggs, not even close. I know you can't look forward, but I am for you and if I were a Nuggs fan I'd be routing my ass off for Houston. They could be your road to a championship.
much respect to the 2011-2012 champions, Miami Heat, well deserved

Return to Denver Nuggets
