Re: After Melo's Performance In The Game vs PR... Do you think he can bring the Nuggets another division title and deeper into the playoffs this upcoming season?
Re: After Melo's Performance In The Game vs PR... If they pick up Drew Gooden, yes. If not, I don't know. Management has to keep getting championship-calibur role players around Melo.
Re: After Melo's Performance In The Game vs PR... it all depends on management and its pretty weak in the northwest division so they shouldnt have a problem.
Re: After Melo's Performance In The Game vs PR... I think if Melo has the right players around him, they will. Melo has improved a lot since he first entered into the league. But he can't do it all by himself.
Re: After Melo's Performance In The Game vs PR... Nuggets will likely face the 5th seed which will be tough. I think with the new rules they won't be able to get out of the first round.

He is a soft, medoicre defending PF. He has a decent offensive game, but that is it. I'd take Nene over Gooden almost any day of the week. At least Nene is willing to work his ass off during the offseason and when he get hurts.<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (mavsfan1000 @ Aug 4 2006, 05:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Nuggets will likely face the 5th seed which will be tough.

All dvision winners get a seeding in the top 4.Regardless, I think the Division is there's to lose. They got more athletic and they got a PF that has a low-post game (Nene). Something they desperately needed last year. If Kenyon Martin remains on the team, I imagine he'll be healthy and that only helps. The lose of Buckner hurts, but I think JR Smith and the french man (forgot his name) can do a good job.The Nuggets were striken by injuries last year, so as long as Boykins, Nene, Camby, Martin, Najera can play in 90% of the games (combined), I think they'll be fine.

Their currently showing international games.
