2010-11 Game 66: Denver Nuggets 131 – Detroit Pistons 101
For two consecutive games the Denver Nuggets have outscored its opponent by at least 19 points. It’s too bad neither of those teams happened to be the Lakers or Heat, but taking care of business is taking care of business last I checked, no matter who the opponent is. (more…)
2010-11 Game 65: Denver Nuggets 116 – Phoenix Suns 97
Tonight the Nuggets notched their first win in Phoenix since 2004, and for George Karl it was his first win in the desert since 1997. Whatever has kept the Nuggets from winning in the US Airway Center in years past certainly was not preset this evening as the Nuggets took it to the Suns from the get-go, and did not let up all game.
George Karl gets three year extension
As has been rumored for the better part of the season, Chris Broussard is reporting that George Karl has officially inked a three year extension as head coach of the Denver Nuggets. The move comes during a turbulent season in which Karl won his 1000th career game after returning successfully from a second bout with cancer last year.
Update: Benjamin Hochman and Chris Dempsey reveal the deal is for three years followed by three more team option years. That could mean up to a six year deal at the Nuggets’ discretion
2010-11 Game 63: Denver Nuggets 103 – Utah Jazz 101
A win in Energy Solutions Arena is not the cherished prize it used to be. The Utah Jazz have lost seven straight games at home, something that has not happened since 1982 (according to TNT and my memory of what was said on TNT). Even so, do not take anything away from the Denver Nuggets won once again in the new Team Play Era over Utah knocking the plummeting Jazz into tenth in the West.
It is quite strange to see these two rivals player each other now. For years we have seen the deadly Utah flex offense lead by one of the best point guards in the league picking apart the Nuggets defense with the fiery Jerry Sloan roaming the sidelines. On the Nuggets’ side it has been explosive scorers and fast paced frenetic offense. My how things have changed.
Karl on verge of signing three-year contract extension
Chris Tomasson is reporting that the Denver Nuggets are in negotiations with George Karl regarding a contract extension through the 2013/2014 season. According to Tomasson, “Final details are being ironed out.”
2010-2011 Game 62: Denver Nuggets 120 Charlotte Bobcats 80
When I sat down tonight to watch the Denver Nuggets take on the Charlotte Bobcats, I certainly did not expect to see the Nuggets pull off the fifth biggest margin of victory in franchise history. But… THAT JUST HAPPENED! (more…)
Sixth-Man Jam: A fan’s perspective
A few days ago I received an e-mail from an acquaintance asking me if I’d like to accept his tickets to the Denver Nuggets annual Sixth-Man Jam event. Surprised, but happily willing to jump at the opportunity, I accepted and boy am I glad I did.
2010-2011 Game 61: Denver Nuggets 100 Atlanta Hawks 90
With the exception of a lethargic fourth quarter against the Blazers, the Nuggets are immediately showing promise in an area we’ve seen them struggle for years – closing games. In tonight’s ten point victory over Atlanta, the Nuggets willed themselves forward with key runs to close out quarters and stifle the Hawks momentum long enough for them to succumb to the dreaded mile high back-to-back factor.
After stumbling out of the gate offensively as they have for three games, the Nuggets fell behind by 8 before an 8-4 run brought them within four, which would have been an 8-1 run had Jamal Crawford not sunk a cold blooded difficult three at the first quarter buzzer. In the second quarter, it was a 9-4 run to briefly take the lead and close the half down one, even after Atlanta had battled fatigue to own all the momentum of the first half. In the third, it was an 18-12 Nuggets run to close and take a one point lead of their own. By the fourth, the Nuggets completed what they were building on by rarely losing the lead and using a 10-5 run to close out a double digit win. That’s how you finish a game.
