He isn't injured or anything</div>No, he didnt start. He has to get used to the way the Nuggets play too. Plus I watched most of that first half, hes being very unselfish. I really like the way he is playing. Go AI.
Hes passing more...or he was, now he realizes he needs to score, and I sure George Karl asked him to now...hes trying to be unselfish, and remember, his chemistry with Denver is low cause they have barely played togerther...if at all. Hes going to be kindve slow for a game or two...nothing is wring with him.
I'm glad AI is being unselfish, but this is when they need him to be taking over on offense. he hasn't shot once yet in the 4th quarter. I mean nobody can expect Iverson to have to be this unselfish when Melo, JR, and Camby are all out. He needs to keep scoring like in the 3rd quarter.
Allen Iverson:8-13 FGs2-3 3 pointers20 points9 AssistsPreety good first game wouldnt you say?Edit: To bad it has to end in a lose though.
Well the Nuggets basicly had no other above average players on there team playing tonight so I didn't expect them to win anyways.Still great Nuggets debut from AI.
Good debut from AI, but he has to realize that he has to take over while Carmelo is out 'till Jan 22nd. He could have been more aggressive in the 4th, there. AI looks cool in a Denver uniform, btw.
I'm happy with Iversons performance. 22 points and 10 assists is very impressive for his first game with all new teammates. I liked how he didn't take a lot of shots and he was trying to get his teammates involved but we really needed him to step up and shoot 23-27 shots to get us the win. Most of our offensive scorers are out of the game. I must say, Iverson looks pretty good in a Nuggets uniform.Our line-up today was HORRIBLE:Earl BoykinsYakhouba DiawaraEduardo NajeraLinas KleizaNeneAllen IversonReggie EvansDerMarr JohnsonThat's like a damn NBDL team.

What is up with Nene? Wasnt he supposed to be really good this seasonor something.....and Btw, I heard Melo will be playing PF now with Camby out(of course when Melo gets back)So Denver lineup:BoykinsAIJR SmithCarmeloNene
Good debut for Iverson. I didnt get to watch it because I was at the spurs game in which they played awful. From his statistics, it seems that he didnt shoot the ball to much, yet he still got over 20. 10 assists is also great considering who he was playing with. Good opening night from AI.

Earl Boykins is the only offensive spark off our bench, We can't afford to lose that.
So Najera will be PF? I havent seen him play much, but what I have seen, he doesn't hurt yall, but doesn't help with much either.

He brings so much hustle and energy it's unbelievable. He's active on the boards, Especially the offensive boards.He's our unsung hero. He does it all.
I'm happy AI is back out there again. Too bad his debut resulted in a loss, but from what I have been hearing and from what I can see on the stat sheet, he played a pretty good game (22 points, 10 assists, 9-15 shooting... not too shabby). I hope somebody on mixmakers uploads this game by tomorrow. If they do, I will definitely download it, and I'll post links for you guys.
