    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Denver Nuggets got a complete game out of Carmelo Anthony in only his third game as a pro.

    Anthony had 23 points, six rebounds and five assists in his best showing of a young season, leading the Nuggets to a 109-88 win over the Sacramento Kings on Saturday night.

    Anthony, who shot 9-for-29 in his first two games, was 9-for-14.

    "I was edgy my first two games just to get out there and start my career," said Anthony, the No. 3 pick overall in the NBA draft who led Syracuse to the NCAA championship as a freshman last spring. "You saw me settle down more than I did the first two games."

    Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik said his prize rookie "is doing great. Let's face it, he's a young man. There is a lot of pressure. Opening night it was (San Antonio's) Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan (defending him). The next night, Houston had the long arms and is very athletic. He's playing great."

    Voshon Lenard had 15 points, and Chris Andersen and Rodney White came off the bench to score 12 apiece for the Nuggets, who placed seven players in double figures. Andersen also had 11 rebounds for his first career double-double. Marcus Camby had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

    Denver, 17-65 a year ago, has now beaten two of the NBA's best teams. The Nuggets defeated the defending champion Spurs on Wednesday night.</div>

    Simply amazing, and very suprising... I guess the verterans (especially Andre Miller) are balanacing out the young talent on that team. I admit I was 100% on writting off this team just because they are young. They look great.
