Having said the Arron Afflalo game-winner game over Dallas was the best game of the season and then restating that by claiming Tuesday's win over Memphis was the best, I will sound like the boy who cries wolf by claiming Thursday's win over Boston to be the best game of the year. But it definitely was.
What do you get when the Celtics make their final bucket with 6:05 left in the fourth quarter? A big time win for the new-look Denver Nuggets.
Carmelo Anthony made his New York Knicks debut on Wednesday night and in doing so confirmed what many of us have long suspected: he wanted to be a Knick all along.
Want to hear some hoops talk? Come take a listen as I join the New York guys on WCWP radio and talk all things about the Nuggets/Knicks trade aftermath.
After patiently and astutely pulling off a great trade for Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets organization deserves our loyal and continued support ... but not at the current ticket prices they're charging.
The Pepsi Center will be hopping in February with an array of entertainment.
