I'm your typical Coloradan, I enjoy long walks in the woods in solitude, great local microbrews, making fun of Boulderites & encouraging out-of-towners to try Rocky Mountain Oysters. But what I really enjoy about Colorado are the great sports teams that bring us all together (or tear us all apart).

Road Rash - 22 Dec 2009 in Nuggets

No depth, no wins as Denver drops two on the road. Without Chauncey in the line-up, the Nuggets don’t have the leadership on the court to help control game tempo.
Good For 1, 2, 3 - 17 Dec 2009 in Nuggets

The Nuggets are sitting atop the summit of the Northwest Division, gazing down on Utah and Portland who are battling for second place.
A Slow Descent? - 11 Dec 2009 in Nuggets

Great teams find ways to win big games and win games that are expected of them and the Nuggets still find themselves half way up a slippery hill not quite able to get their footing. This is only the second time all season Denver has lossed back-to-back games, and let’s hope these types of losses remain an oddity.
Golden-Eyes - 07 Dec 2009 in Nuggets

In San Antonio Carmelo added 34 points and 7 rebounds to his lengthening resume and also became the only player this season to score at least 20 points in each game.

Coach Karl & the Nuggets sensed the importance of a victory after the mishap in Minnesota and came out intent on stopping Golden State, or anyone who would oppose them Tuesday night.
Hometown High - 28 Nov 2009 in Nuggets

For the first time in his career and only the second NBA player this season, Carmelo Anthony shredded the nylon with 50 points
Building Character - 23 Nov 2009 in Nuggets

J.R. is a charade who keeps us (the fans) gripping our seats and spilling our beverages with every act. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Parting the Lakers - 15 Nov 2009 in Nuggets

With a 3 day break in hand, and a ‘revenge’ game gone as planned (105-79), the Nuggets can prep to close out November strong against the unthreatening Toronto Raptors, at the L.A. Clippers & back home against Rose & the Bulls. At 7-3, Denver sits above Portland at the top of the Northwest Division.
Blue Streak - 06 Nov 2009 in Nuggets

With a healthy, undistracted group of Nuggets, this season could be our chance at finally clearing that Laker bar that seemed insurmountable. With 82 games (well, 77 games) left in the season, Denver is off to a great start with hopes of a great finish.
Nuggets Season Opener – All the Slight Moves - 29 Oct 2009 in Nuggets

With subtle offseason moves & a Fall snow storm to remember, Denver certainly made an impression against the rival Jazz in the season opener with a 114-105 victory.
