So far the lil nba Go Nuggets post has been followed by seven wins out of eight games. Something in Memphis prevented the good luck from working. But it has brought more good luck to the Nuggets than they had in their first 72 games of the season combined. So let's see if it can get an eighth win for 8-1. lil nba: Go Nuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tremaine: Go Nuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The form is "Go Nuggets" followed by 32 exclamation points. I think the form must be exact for the good luck to work.
