I've seen worse teams make the playoffs. Perhaps the Nuggets are coming of age. Winning games makes all the difference mentally. And isn't that the key ingedient for success.
W @ Phoenix (3-4) L vs Milwaukee (4-1) L vs Sacramento (5-2) L @ Houston (5-2) L @ Dallas (5-2) W vs Houston (5-2) W vs Toronto (4-3) Try again genius.
wow, i cant believe you had the nerve to say that. looking for a smiley to indicate sarcasm... none found. wow. we have had one of the hardest, if not the hardest schedule so far. our easiest game before yesterday was vs the suns...AT PHOENIX. we played you guys twice, the BUCKS (awesome), the KINGS (awesome), the RAPS (very good), the MAVS (awesome), the SUNS (decent), and finally an easy game yesterday...the bulls. you guys = HAWKS (crap), CLIPS (ok), WOLVES (awesome), SUNS (decent), us twice, SIXERS (once crap, once good), SPURS (awesome) the schedules DO NOT COMPARE AT ALL.
i think something that us nugget fans are noticing is a different style of play without dice. of course, there is no way we are better w/o him but we arent that much worse. we had a stupid dump down and wait offense with him, with no movement making our O very inefficient. now we get movement, slashers, open Js, and more O boards. its working well.
Good teams (record-wise) can suck at time ... can it be they happened to suck when facing the NUGZ? Look at the Rockets last night ... 5-2 is pretty decent record, right? It's only a question, genius! Oh! BTW, I wouldn't say I'm a genius ... if I were I would've known what happened to your NUGZ. And no smilies doesn't mean it's not sacarsm ... There's no point to compare our schedules ... I never said the Rockets were better than the NUGZ (well, you go figure )... what I meant was teams with better record don't necessarily perform at THAT level every night. Anyway, the NUGS are in a zone recently, I have to admit it. If they keep their record several games above .500, watch out when D'yess comes back! I agree this team can be a surprising team ... no doubt.
i need smileys! how else will i know?! the only point to compare schedules is to prove it isnt a factor here and shouldnt have been brought up. man i hope this isnt the nuggets in a "zone".
