Its halftime of of dallas denver right now...since we're down by three I thought I would propose a couple of slight moves the organization could make in order to appease the fan base.

1: TRADE CARMELO ANTHONY, NENE, and JR SMITH

     These guys are truly cramping our style and I think that we would be better off with a line-up like OKC has or the Rockets or EVEN Minnesota.  At least they try to win games instead of our guys who constantly throw games because they dont wanna play for their coach....which leads me to...

2: FIRE GEORGE KARL and HIRE either NOHOOPS4U or GOLDENNUGGET

    Seriously.  I read these guys comments and posts and they clearly have a grasp of what it takes to win in this league and how to PREPARE for games.  They know about the right rotations and substitutions to make AND this might help with #1 of this post. and finally...

3: MOVE THE TEAM TO UTAH

That way we in Denver dont have to worry about a team that is constantly going to LET US DOWN.  Seriously, let another city have a team that is a pathetic 20-10 team.  WE DON'T NEED THIS PROBLEM ANYMORE!

That's all for now...have to see the second half and make a list of things to complain about for the post-game wrap up...

Nuggets Forever!

Recently I have been criticized for my strong stinkin de-like of certain member of the LA Lakers,  a team I feel isn't out of our reach talent wise and one we could beat on any given night and id say 50/50 in a 7 game series.

     Now, I am aware of our size difficulties against them and actually a lot of other teams.  But I dont feel that by adding some other big man for size sake is the answer to what many people believe the problem is.

     I believe some of the issues, like losing to Atlanta (playing great right now), Chicago, and the Bucks' Michael Jennings has little to do with lack of size, or running set plays but rather a shift in culture internally and maybe more important, surrounding Our Nuggets. By that I mean, This franchise is not used to winning and when a team is not used to winning, the fans of said team arent used to winning therefore everyone starts to EXPECT to lose.  And that is a dangerous rabbit-hole to go near.  And I don't think the turnaround is quite complete. And that's on us.

     As a fan of any team I think we have a responsibility to help change the culture surrounding a team. 

    That means, not arriving at the Pepsi center by the middle/end of the first quarter no matter who we're playing. Cheering like crazy for things like hustle, execution, and keeping our foot on the throat of any team we play. AND (here's where im gonna run into trouble but) not letting fans of other teams waltz on to our website and say ANYTHING without at least a little friendly, and COMPLETELY NORMAL trash talking. Its our house, and we get to decide how long a GUEST can stay and how much iced tea we're gonna give em.  I guess I'im saying, being "the bigger person" doesnt really apply to Fandom....Cause believe me, what people are saying about our nuggets on other sites is some pretty crazy shit.

     Before anyone responds to this, please understand, im not asking or even talking about "in-fighting" on this site between fellow nuggets fans.  The last time this happened it spiraled out of control to the point that another poster actually threatened to threaten me if it weren't for the rules.  THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK ON ANYONE!  We are all different kinds of fans, but I kinda miss the pre PC days where i could say fuck Kobe Bryant, fuck Tim Duncan, Fuck Shaq, Fuck Laker fans, Fuck everybody except my team and have it met with someone just kinda shaking their head and going, "jeez, that guy is crazy about his team. CRAZY"

     Anybody who has yelled at the TV, broke something that they realized they needed 30 minutes later, not been able to watch ESPN for a couple of days to avoid highlights of any kind, or seen someone with a Lakers shirt and stifled the desire to ask "Are you really a fan? or are you wearing that cause it really brings out your Asshole?" will know exactly what im talking about.

   SO LETS WALK PROUD AND ACT LIKE WE DESERVE TO BE COCKY ARROGANT AND DOWNRIGHT RIDICULOUS FANS OF OUR NUGGETS!!!

Okay. I'm done.  Last night Kobe Bryant's Lakers played the OKC Thunder. And barely won. By 3. 

But before you jump to any "whoa, are the Lakers that bad?" or "wow, the Thunder are about to show the league that drafing a guy that's 6-10 125lbs was the greatest move in history and they are on theyre way to a statement season!", I just found out that Kobe missed the shoot around, arrived at the arena late, and had to get an IV because he has the flu...

OKAY.....ummmm, Im so tired of this.  First of all because he doesnt have the flu.  He played 46 MINUTES!!!!!!  Have you ever done anything besides sleep for 46 minutes when youve had the flu? NO.

And don't give me the crap about how these guys are superior atheletes and all that shit. They are, but that's not what last night was about.  Last night was purely and simply about ego.  And from one of the biggest that has ever graced the professional sports stage.  Kobe Bryant's life long pursuit of wanting to be Michael Jordan is becoming tiresome.  And after seeing Michael's HOF acceptance speech I cant wait to see what Kobe does for his: Admit that he got away with rape cause he's just that good?...sorry, had to.

What interesting here is that Kobe never plays 46 minutes even with overtime because this Phil Jackson Laker team doesn't need him to! But what Kobe needs is to rack up a couple more "performing under adverse circumstances" games so that when people look back they can use the stats to prove the Kobe was better than Michael. And here's the thing Kobe: you wlll never be considered better than Michael Jordan.  He had a couple of things going in his favor. 1) Espn's Sportscenter had just started and he was on it every night doing things in front of a worldwide audience that hadn't seen anything like it before. And 2) He has and always will market himself better than you....

I guess this little rant is just to say: YOU DON'T FOOL ME KOBE. You never have and you never will.  Win a championship without your franchise trading/buying SUPERSTAR players and getting help from David Stern okaying trades that should NEVER happen and I might have a little respect. 

But right now, all I see is a guy who pretends to battle through adversity when there is none there.  Just be okay with having things been handed to you from the time your were born with a silver-spoon in your mouth.

And the next time you have "the Flu", stay home and let your teammates beat the Thunder by 20. I think they can handle it and might prefer you not exposing them to possible H1N1.

F*ck Kobe Bryant. Seriously.

Give me Melo any day of the week.
