Nuggets came through! Winning a clincher. Now Denver takes care of business in Minnesota and the 6th seed is ours. Ran out of words to say so...

CombatChuk's Official 2011 Mock Draft (No trades, just productive players)
by CombatChuk on Apr 27, 2011 11:21 AM EDT
on Mile High Report
No. 2 Marcel Dareus DT
via blog.al.com
Dareus would bring in immediate impact to our horrid defense. The guy can pressure the QB and is a great run stopper (no more Jamaal Charles getting career highs against us). He has a fantastic motor and superb strength. Denver picks him and Phillip Rivers doesn't look happy to see the Broncos on the schedule.
Timofey Mozgov Scouting Report
I think he'll be a great fit if not a diamond in the rough. Nene/Mozgov front court could be deadly
CombatChuk's Stiff List
by CombatChuk on Jan 18, 2011 12:21 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
Since this week has started, I haven't seen a Stiff List so here's mine to lighten the mood around here
Stiff #1 Leon Rose
He's one of the guys pushing so hard for the Nets trade... Too bad Carmelo Anthony doesn't want to sign there, doesn't he represent his client?
Stiff #2 Adrian Wojnarowski
Talk about biting the hand that feeds. Going postal on the organization that feeds you leaks like ESPN feeds praise on LeBron James. There's burning your bridges, and there's launching hellcat missles at it.
Stiff #3 Chris Bosh
For a guy with over a $100 Million guaranteed, you should be one of the best hustlers in the NBA...
Stiff #4 New England Patriots
All the foot jokes in the world could not save you from that choke job on Sunday afternoon.
Stiff #5 NBA/NFL owners
You guys are really going to make us watch Soccer, Nascar and Hockey next year aren't you?
My personal apologies to the two teams trying to land Carmelo Anthony
by CombatChuk on Jan 1, 2011 12:20 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
There's been a lot of friction lately regarding the Nuggets trade demands for Carmelo Anthony. I'm writing as a fan of the Denver Nuggets apologizing to other teams for our excessive demands.

How to really blow up the Nuggets and rebuild from scratch.
by CombatChuk on Dec 27, 2010 1:01 AM EST
on Denver Stiffs
This loss against the 76ers was one of the most horrific losses in recent memory for the Nuggets. This was a team that looked uninterested, confused and flat out dickless. So even if Melo leaves (Really, who are we kidding anymore?) it's time for Masai Ujiri and Josh Kroenke to make some tough choices. This is not a matter of changing personnel, but a change in philosophy.
See you guys next week...

McDaniels wanted to trade Orton in the preseason?
I wonder where Woody Paige got his sources? This kind of changes my opinion of Josh McDaniels (not by much)
You guys think it's true?
Surprise Melo!!!

Gary Forbes getting some love from HoopsWorld
I like Gary, he's shown tremendous effort and he's fun to watch.
I think Melo wants to leave because of Billups and the Nuggets new philosophy
by CombatChuk on Nov 21, 2010 12:53 AM EST
on Denver Stiffs
The end of the Nuggets/Nets game (28-27 seconds left in the game) I noticed something happening that I've seen a few times this year. I saw Chauncey Billups screaming at Melo to pass the ball (Al Harrington and AAA were wide open), I saw this too when I was at the Knicks game this past Tuesday. I'm thinking that there's a correlation between Billups shooting a lot more with Melo's "Black hole offense"

The Trade that will guarantee Melo signs the extension
by CombatChuk on Nov 13, 2010 10:16 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
The latest story going around is that the only kind of trade that Melo would be interested in staying is a Pau Gasol like trade for a premier big man. The good news for us, is that as we approach trade deadline teams are going to find out that they suck/know that what they have does not work. Which puts in a great position since we have a the real big bertha in the pocket (KMart's expiring contract). Here is the trade I'm proposing that will get Melo to sign the extension and put the Nuggets in a fantastic position to compete for a championship for several years...
CombatChuk's thoughts on the slow start
by CombatChuk on Nov 11, 2010 2:18 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
This past Tuesday during the slaughter that was the Pacers game I started thinking up of what the heck is going wrong with the Nuggets. A lot of people mention that this was the 5th game in 7 nights and the Nuggets were exhausted. The Nuggets also came out flat against the Bulls the night before which got me thinking "Is this a well prepared team?". I can't deny the importance of George Karl (See this past playoffs series for proof), but I'm starting to believe that he might be at the root of of the baffling problem. A coach has to make adjustments on the fly and in preperation of a game with challenges (like fatigue).

Melo and AAA bring playoff intensity to scrimmages
I really like hearing this... No doubt Melo is bringing his A game to bump his trade value. AAA is a warrior, I think he's going to be beastly this year...
And Shelden Williams (Called it a few weeks ago BTW)
CombatChuk's thoughts on the preseason and training camp, including a Mea Culpa

Kyle Orton
I gotta start this off with Kyle Orton. Last year I was in the mindset that trading Jay Cutler and starting Orton was an epic mistake. I felt justified during the first preseason game and for most of the 2009 season since I felt the Defense was carrying the team more than the offense. This year is a different story, Kyle Orton so far has been dominant. He's showing tremendous poise and vision in the pocket; Kyle is clearly comfortable with offense and it shows. To me the cherry on top was the excitement he showed when he got his modest extension. As a Nuggets fan waiting for another player to sign is his max extension, Kyle's enthusiasm was welcome. Sorry I doubted you dude!

F*** It. Denver rocks! and other ramblings...
by CombatChuk on Aug 20, 2010 12:31 AM EDT
on Denver Stiffs
Reading about Kyle Orton (and his wife!) being so excited and grateful for just a 1 year extension got me thinking. Denver is a helluva a city. We have great views, awesome mountains, the most microbreweries in the country (Hell yeah!) and some of the most passionate sport fans in the country.

I'm ready to move on, I'm over it, this is what we do next... (Life Without Melo)
by CombatChuk on Jul 20, 2010 10:54 AM EDT
on Denver Stiffs
With each passing day it seems like that we're going to be rooting for a Denver Nuggets team that does not have Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo saw LeBron, Wade, and Bosh hold the NBA hostage a few weeks ago and knows he can do the same next year and has most likely decided to go through with it. If Melo was going to stay and resign with us he would've done so already. This "I want to see some improvements before I sign" is just a smoke screen so the FO doesn't harass him.
Jarvis Moss on facebook saying he's "Slipped into a starting spot"
" slipped into that starting spot! FEELING MYSELF! Swear they sayin lets get from another planet! HARD WORK DEF PAYS OFF"
I'm friends with Jarvis Moss on facebook and he's saying he's nabbed a starting spot. It's good to see that he's citing his hard work on this to get there. The OLB battle should be a good one to watch this training camp....
Thoughts on this Offseason, Draft, and QB situation

CombatChuk's thoughts after some time away...
by CombatChuk on May 23, 2010 1:41 AM EDT
on Denver Stiffs
Like you, I was dismayed when the Nuggets were bounced unceremoniously from the 1st round so I took some time away because I was pretty vested in the Denver Nuggets (Just ask my wife, when I had to catch every game). But in that time, I was able to focus on a few key points in this season and some ideas for this offseason. Here's what I got from this season

Kyle Orton pissed off Pat Bowlen?
It's an interesting article about a theory that Orton being unhappy about having no new CBA and being vocal about it which in turn might have pissed off Pat Bowlen
CombatChuk's first mock draft...
by CombatChuk on Apr 22, 2010 4:53 PM EDT
on Mile High Report
TRADE ALERT!!!!
Denver trades it's #11 pick to New England for their #22 pick, #44 pick, and #119. New England gets their must needed pass rusher in DE Derrick Morgan...
With the #22 pick the Denver Broncos select... Terrence Cody NT
The Denver Broncos in the past 4 years have been near the bottom rankings in rushing defense, Cody will sit behind Jamaal Williams at first but then he'll provide years of run stuffing stability for the Denver Broncos. He'll look good in Orange and blue...
Trade Alert
Denver sends the #44 pick, #119 pick (From New England) and #183 (6th rounder) to Detroit for the #34 pick.
With #34 pick Denver selects... Arrelious Benn WR
Denver Finds it's replacement for Brandon Marshall with this big possession receiver with lighting speed. Benn reminds me most of Andre Johnson of the Texans with his size and speed. His hands could use some work, but you can't coach athleticism...
With the #43 pick Denver selects... Vladimir Ducasse OG
Vladimir Ducasse will shore up the position at LG giving us some necessary beef in our running game and pass-protection. The guy has a mean streak, hopefully he can revive some nastiness missing from our offensive line since Tom Nalen left.
With the #45 pick the Denver Broncos select... Brandon Spikes ILB
Brandon Spikes is the hard hitting ILB we need next to DJ Williams. This guy is NASTAY!! The man was suspended for trying to poke out the eyes of a Georgia Runningback! He has a nose for the ball, hits hard and does well in coverage. This will solidify the ILBs for years to come and give a much needed boost in the run support department.
With the #80 pick the Denver Broncos select Matt Tennant C
Picking up Maurice Pouncey would be nice, but it isn't going to happen. Here we have the 2nd best choice. Matt Tennant held the center point of the line for a certain Matt Ryan. He has excellent quickness and strength and can probably start right away solidifying our young offensive line for many years.
Trade Alert
Denver sends their #114 and a 2011 conditional pick to Tennessee (ranges from 3rd-6th) for LenDale White
LenDale White is a bowling ball and young and will provide us with that much needed boost in short yard situations, him paired with Moreno and the upgrade to the O-Line will give Denver it's much needed dominiant rushing attack it hasn't had in years...
With #137 pick the Denver Broncos select Justin Woodall S
Justin is a bit raw, but has the tools to succeed. Hits hard and is passionate, could be the eventual Brian Dawkins replacement. A project no doubt.
So that's my first mock... What do you guys think?
Stan Kroenke one step closer to buying the Rams? What this means for Denver...
by CombatChuk on Apr 12, 2010 9:06 PM EDT
on Denver Stiffs
Link To ProFootballtalk.com's article
Stan Kroenke released a statement today saying that he intends to purchase the remaining 60% ownership of the St. Louis Rams...
All I have to say is WOW... The biggest reason why is that the NFL prohibits Owners from owning sports franchises in different Markets. So if Stan K goes through with this, he would have to sell both the Nuggets and the Avalanche. The NFL can however waive the rule if the circumstances are right (I doubt Pat Bowlen would be alright with that)...
So for speculations' sake who would you prefer the owner of the Nuggets/Avs to be?
The Top 11 Most Terrible Tattoos in the NBA
Our Nuggets are represented well in this list! JR is #1 with KMart a close 2nd... Melo cracks the top 10
Ever since the Nuggets trip last week to New York, where Carmelo Anthony was asked about playing in Madison Square Garden, there has been a growing number of Nuggets fans wondering if the star forward would bolt Denver for New York.
Anthony clarified the situation a bit, saying he wasn’t insinuating he would look to play there when his contract expires after the 2011 season.
"Nah," he said. "I was just talking to the media. They asked me ‘How does it feel to play in The Garden?’ And I said ‘Anybody would love to play in Madison Square Garden.’ That’s all I said."
I feel a lot better about this, I figured it would be NY media ass kissing...
The Future of Kenyon Martin
by CombatChuk on Mar 8, 2010 12:39 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
I have a gut feeling that this knee injury to Kenyon Martin will probably alter his career in a significant way especially if he decides he can play through this. KMart's play this year has been a career best and it's no coincidence that the minutes he's been playing at career high as well. A lot of this has been attributed to George Karl's tight 8-man player rotation, which is why we're seeing KMart and Birdman grappling with knee tendinitis. Here's a couple of Plans I came up with

Time to unleash the French Tickler... (Johan Petro)
by CombatChuk on Jan 13, 2010 8:48 PM EST
on Denver Stiffs
All this talk about getting Chris Bosh got me thinking... We really do not need a all-star caliber big man to compete this year with the Lakers. K-Mart and Nene are doing (especially Martin) a really good job with the majority of the minutes. I think Birdman might be getting burned out playing 30 mins a game and I think he's more effective (and longer lasting) when he's at 20 mins per game. With those excess 10 mins I think we should give them to someone we have already on the roster... Johan Petro. Johan came from the Oklahoma City Thunder where he played a reserve role there. If I remember correctly he was pretty decent. We do not really need another scorer on this team, we just need someone to bang around the bigs on the other team and pick up rebounds and set screens and picks. A firesale of our bench in the middle of the season (Jr Smith and Birdman) for a star big might end up hurting us now...
How about picking up Richie Incognito?
by CombatChuk on Dec 15, 2009 4:25 PM EST
on Mile High Report
The Rams released Incognito today, after a series of Transgression against the team. He picked up two personal foul penalties on Sunday and today he saw the door.
Surprisingly one of our areas exposed by Defenses is the interior of the offensive line. Incumbent starter Ben Hamilton has been benched in favor of Russ Hochstein, and Casey Wiegmann is a shadow of what he was last year.
I like this because it frees up Hochstein for FB for those short yardage situations.
Incognito is a big guy (the style that McDaniels like) and is young. Hopefully coming to a winning franchise in the playoff hunt will change his tune and mesh up well.
What do you guys think?
Ryan Harris is OUT for the season!
by CombatChuk on Dec 8, 2009 4:46 PM EST
on Mile High Report
Just got a text message from CBS4 in Denver. Looks like that toe injury was re aggravated in the worst way. I can't say I'm that surprised toe injuries are a tricky thing. So he'll be moved to the Injured Reserved list, now the question is. Who's out there to fill the spot? We have Seth Olsen, Brandon Gorin, and of course Ben Hamilton already on the roster. We have Mitch Erickson on the Practice squad we could promote him. Or should we pick up someone off the street?
