lil nba: Go Nuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tremaine: Go Nuggets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lil nba brought the luck to the Nuggets last night so let's just try that again.
They don't need luck, just a new coach!!....should be an easy win for the nuggets if they can contain bibby and artest.
What a game. Back to back 3's by JR smith and Sacramento has to call a time out. This is the nuggets team that was envisioned when they traded for Iverson. All they need to do is keep up the defensive intensity and keep shooting.
Either someone had a word with Coach Karl and told him to not have so many players rotting on the bench or he is relieved that his son's operation is over and he is now concentrating on basketball more. Sooner or later, though, he'll go back to being a scrooge.
