Nuggets Making a Run Away from A Title

The Nuggets are making a run in the West . . . A Run in the opposite direction of a title. You can read about the Avs gearing up for a run in Billy's story below. And the Rockies are returning soon. The Nuggets continue to stay the course year after year by underachieving and making excuses about it. They are nowhere near the top powers in the West,and, until they make a conscious effort to carry players with a consistency in attitude, effort, and character- things will only get worse. The Nuggets, since Carmelo Anthony was drafted, have been a team that seems to have forgotten the very basics of basketball: moving without the ball, passing and cutting on offense, and defense- any defense at all. Why was Camby the Defensive player of the Year? He is a cleanup man. He cleans-up blown coverage’s and lazy footwork. There is no consistent effort to play defense in Denver. Kenyon Martin is the only player that can guard a man one-on-one on our entire roster! Do you know how easy we are to game- plan for? We are laughable. We have run a couple of coaches out, we have made excuses for everything. We have never won a playoff series. It is time for the fans around Denver to grow up and stop buying into the over hyped images of 'Melo and A.I. and start demanding that we build a team. That won't happen of course. People will still fill the seats, and, that seems to be all Stan Kronke and the front office cares about. Melo will still get 20 and 10 every night, A.I. will still dribble around for the first 12-15 seconds of the shot clock, George Karl will still stand there munching on candy wondering what he can say to Carmelo or J.R. or any of the other guys that won't piss them off and induce passive- aggressive temper tantrums that will linger in the locker room and on that practice floor all week and make everybody's life hell. The fact that they did not go out and sign a player this year before the trade deadline- while the entire Western conference only got better- solidifies the theory that I had hoped wasn't true: the Nuggets are content with just filling the seats. Don't go to the games people. Don't watch them. Demand a better product. The Nuggets are the joke of the league. The Lakers, The Spurs, the Mavs, The Hornets, the Suns, the list goes on and on--- we can't beat any of these teams in a playoff series. Are you kidding me? Who on the Nuggets is going to guard ____________?(just fill in the blank depending on the team). So what is the frigging point? How could we not try to make something happen? Anything! Artest, Mike Miller, Bibby, Randolph, whatever... anything at this point. One thing is for sure: the team we have now is going absolutely nowhere. But we wanted to hang on to Linus Klezia. Do you understand how completely ludicrous that sounds? Now the only way to fix this team - a team "led" by Melo for 5 years, is to trade HIM. Yes, trade Melo. You can develop talent. You can't develop character. You either have the Character that it takes to be a winner or you don't. Either Jim Boehiem lied or Nike lied, but this guy is an absolute chump. A lazy, fat, selfish, annoying, stubborn chump. Thanks for letting me rant Billy. I needed that. I will be posting regularly, and less angrily, from now on. -Stewie.
