So far the lil nba Go Nuggets post has been followed by four wins. Let's see if it can get a fifth win for 5-0. 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
Looks like were gonna pull ahead of the lakers. Were winning in the 3rd right now. I dont know if thats a good thing because i would rather not play the spurs in the first round.
