    Next stop Kobeville for the Nuggets

    A Flickr photoKobe Bryant and Kenyon Martin -- or a reasonable facsimile. As a lifelong Nuggets fan, I've grown accustomed over the years to waiting for the team to blow leads. But I don't think I've ever been so zen about the Nugs as last night, during their series-clinching victory over the Dalla ... More >>

    Referee Steve Javie is MVP for Mavericks in win over Nuggets last night

    Referee Steve Javie reassures Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. Yeah, yeah, given the non-call that helped the Nuggets win game three of their playoff series against the Mavericks on Saturday, complaining about the officiating in the Mavs' 119-117 victory last night seems churlish. But there's no denyin ... More >>

    Prescription for more Nuggets victories: Continue to hammer on Dirk Nowitzki

    The Nuggets should take a clue from this bubblegum card, and chew up Dirk Nowitzki. The Denver Nuggets' 109-95 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in game one of their playoff series played out pretty much as Nugs' fans hoped. Denver has an advantage over the Mavs inside, which is why Nenê had a bre ... More >>

    Melo dresses up pretty nicely, doesn't he? Strangely, the Nuggets' 95-93 loss to the New Orleans Hornets on Saturday afternoon made me more, not less, optimistic that the team will take the series. My rationale: The Nugs blew a huge first quarter lead, as they've done innumerable times in recent ... More >>
