    Allen Iverson: Denver fans wish you luck -- but not too much tonight

    Allen Iverson is expected to suit up tonight as the Philadelphia 76ers, his once and future squad, take on your Denver Nuggets -- one of three squads to sign him after he left Philly in 2006. And despite the negativity surrounding Iverson after he did the Brett Favre dance (retiring, then promptly ... More >>

    God told Allen Iverson to sign with... Memphis?

    A.I. during his Denver days.​A blog last week headlined "Allen Iverson's Advice to America's Youth: 'Don't Try to be Like Allen Iverson'" featured an interview in which the former Nugget told ex-teammate Eric Snow that his desire for a championship outweighed considerations such as whether he' ...

    Can Arron Afflalo become the next Dahntay Jones?

    Arron Afflalo. The Nuggets' loss of Dahntay Jones to a free-agent deal with the Indiana Pacers hurt, and not just because Kobe Bryant grew to despise him over the course of the Western Conference Finals this year. His toughness and aggressiveness were just what the Nugs need to become a perennial p ... More >>

    The Nuggets aim to break up the Kobe-LeBron love match

    LJ. Okay, okay: I get it. After watching LeBron James' epic performance during the fourth quarter of Cleveland's 112-102 victory over the Orlando last night, when he essentially schooled the entire Magic squad singlehandedly, I understand why the NBA, Nike and assorted TV networks would like to see ...

    In Vegas, still no love for Nuggets

    A Flickr photo.If Barkley's been gambling on the Nuggets like he's been talking about them, he's richer than ... well, he was before. Asshole.

    Nugget fans should wear allegiance on their sleeves

    The Nuggets lost by two points last night in a very close game. Why? Well, a big part of it was unusually poor free-throw shooting from Chauncey Billups and company. My suggestion, then, is that the rest of the team start wearing Carmelo Anthony's super-phresh shooting sleeve. You know, that sky- ... 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 >>

    Denver Nuggets' play last night not enough to win over analysts Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley

    TNT studio commentators Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

After all, Carmelo Anthony put up 38 points after se ... More >>
