Go, Nuggets (Update)
The 11-2 run by the Nuggets at the end of the first half was a beautiful run.
It’s nice to see them competitive in an away game in the playoffs, and it would be even better to see them win a series. I can’t, in honest, remember the last time I watched them win a playoff series.
So, yeah, go nugs.
Update: The Nuggest just took game one in San Antonio. There’s no reason to get too excited since they need to get four wins to move on, but this was a great, gritty effort from the Nuggets. They stayed in the game up until the last eight minutes and then stepped up to take the game during that last bit of the game.
Neither team looked particularly good in that last eight minutes with very few shots dropping in either direction, but it looked to me like San Antonio just got a little tired trying to keep up with pace that the Nuggets tried to push through the whole game. A lot of tired players at the end of this one.
Good basketball.

A Big win...and I was in the stands in 1994 for the Nugs Seattle game 3 win...I feel almost sheepish to be rooting for a team that’s been so bad for so long...oh well.
I only feel a little guilty because I know I’m jumping on the bandwagon a little bit late. It’s just nice to see that they really did improve this year. It would be nice to continue having a basketball team in town that isn’t a joke to the rest of the league.
"It would be nice to continue having a basketball team in town that isn’t a joke to the rest of the league.” Or in their own town, even. Hee.
I’m still skeptical about their success, which is too bad. They deserve more praise, but I can’t find it in me to muster much more than a “Yeah, but we’ll see how far they get.”
I’m only skeptical about how far they can go this year. I’m convinced that, if they stay healthy, next year they’ll be playing at least one series with home court advantage.
All of which goes to prove that I already drank the Kool Aid…
Heheh.
You know, if men could think of communicating to women in the same terms in which they are able to discuss sports, weapons, etc. and their love of them, I think we could eliminate much of the communication problems that exist between the genders… :D
