I know, I know...kinda weird having a pre-game thread, but I was perusing the Denver rags and came upon this comment from a fan. Shoot, you'd think it was the Blazers he/she was talking about....in terms of "nobody considers us.....let's play our A game and show the world we're worthy...." type of talk. From: Denver Post
You have to understand the Thuggets are an afterthought here in the Mile High. The Rockies are starting their season, the Avs just fired their GM and nothing compares to the Broncos here. That means the people who put the Nugs before the Broncos are considered weird. People are talking more about the Broncos' schedule than they are about the Thuggets tonight against the Blazers.
Speaking of the Thuggets, the Kings owner got pissed off at K-Mart for his hard foul on Hawes the other night. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=4069885 But I'm excited for tonight and finally knowing who we get to face and when we get to face them in the playoffs. This has been a long time coming.
