Paul and Griffin slowed down after a hot first quarter on Thursday night at Staples Center. LA was playing their third game in as many nights, and the Denver fast break quickly stretched the Clippers thin.
The Broncos will look to Del Rio to provide stability at defensive coordinator. Jack is Denver’s 7th new defensive coordinator in as many seasons.
Just four days after Danilo Gallinari outplayed Carmelo Anthony in a Nuggets win in New York City, the Italian forward has signed a four-year $42 million dollar extension to stay in Denver.
With Carmelo Anthony slowing the offense to a crawl in New York, the Nuggets have the cap space and floor time to run the most dynamic, team-oriented style in the league.
The Nuggets managed to grind out a 119-114 double-overtime win in NYC thanks to Gallinari’s dominant play. Gallo outplayed Melo in virtually every aspect of the game on Saturday night in Manhattan.
With a healthy and energized George Karl at the helm, the Nuggets may not be far off from realizing their potential as an elite Western Conference contender.
Don’t count these Broncos out. Whatever it is, they’ve got it. The Patriots are a mirage drawn up on a chalkboard. Denver is in town to play some real wild football.
Now, with Tebow doing exactly what was asked of him and winning a playoff game, what is left to hate? Is it his insistence on communicating with the almighty on national TV? What’s that got to do with Tim Tebow’s game, and why is it his problem that his faith makes others uncomfortable?
For the Denver Nuggets the shortened season will be both a boon and a challenge. The Nuggets have an established coach and system, but many of their players are scattered across world leagues or likely lost to free agency.
Time will tell how far John can ride Tim’s limited but highly focused talent set. For now it is worth noting that the Fox-Tebow combo is 2-1 this season. So long as both coach and quarterback continue to improve in their respective roles, the sky is the limit for the Broncos’ grounded approach to offense.
