I am like so excited for the new season! Anyone who wants to talk about my passion for basketball, that would be wonderful!
nuggets have a difficult game tomorrow @ L.A., lakers are favorite by 3, i think that LA will win that game, but who knows....maybe melo has a different story! BTW i created a nba wagering thread in the WAGERING forum, f you guys wanna check it out and discuss some picks......
I used to be a big Nuggest fan back in the day of Abdul-Rauf and Todd Lichti, but now it seems like the Nuggets are the "cool" team to like and with guys like Carmelo and Kenyon Martin running the show there. Thus, I cheer against them. Sorry. Go Bulls! They stink, but I will still pull for them along with the Jazz.
nuggets with a huge game last night v. the pistons. mellow-man Carmelo had a great game and little Man Boynkins simply went completely off. great game to watch.
They've been my #1 team since the glory(?) days of the early/mid-80's (Moe, English, Lever, Hanzlik, etc.) The 90's were a drag, but at least the Clippers kept them from being a complete joke. For too many years when I would look up their scores in the sports page, I'd always look at the right (losers) column first. Now it looks like Kiki has gotten the franchise pointed in the right direction and I'm seeing Melo jerseys everywhere…weird. As for this season, after a slow start we're finally back to .500, but they haven't played much on the road yet. Winning away from home has always been a problem for the Nuggets, but last year they seemed to improve in that regard. Hopefully, losing Lenard for the year hurt too much.
As someone who has lived in Sactown just long enough to remember powder blue then (the return of) royal blue unis, Wayman Tisdale, Spud Webb and Lionel "L-Train" Simmons... let's just say I have a few bones to pick with the Nuggets after what happened at the end of the 2003-04 regular season.
