    George Karl Calls Festus Ezeli an Asshole

    The Denver Nuggets playing the Golden State Warriors is turning into quite the entertaining series, quite as predicted, although not just for pure basketball reasons. The physicality and dirtiness of the series has probably been the most notable aspect of it, and after Mark Jackson complained about Stephen Curry being handled roughly by Nuggets players, George Karl does his own retaliation by calling Festus Ezeli an asshole.

    Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Leads a Team More Resilient Than Ever

    There are quite a few differences to the 2013 version of the Denver Nuggets that make them likely to do better than in recent seasons, one of them being the arrival of Andre Iguodala, doing pretty much anything that’s required of him on both ends of the floor. The other is the depth assembled, still showing despite the injuries, led once again by Corey Brewer.

    Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Makes Andre Iguodala Look Good

    Not for the first time this season and in recent weeks, the Denver Nuggets owe a victory to Corey Brewer, this time pulling off three big plays in the final seconds of a big win, giving Andre Iguodala the chance to be a hero with the game winner, while everyone was still shell-shocked by Danilo Gallinari probably tearing his ACL, now lost for the season and possibly much longer.

  • Denver Nuggets – Danilo Gallinari Changing the Scenario of the NBA Playoffs

    As always, points in the paint were the key to another Denver Nuggets victory, while Danilo Gallinari made the most of his few shots to lead his team, especially in the fourth quarter. With the win, it doesn’t only improve the Nuggets’ chances of getting the third seed in the West, meaning a much easier team to face in the first round of the playoffs, but shaping the battle for the final ticket.

    Denver Nuggets – George Karl Doesn’t Want Things to Slow Down

    With a winning streak that’s at 15 now, you’d expect George Karl to take it a little bit easier going into the final stretch of the season; cut his players some slack. But that’s not how you keep a young team without a clear superstar to fall back on when things don’t go great on its edge, hopefully lasting the last few weeks of the season in the same place they are now in the Western Conference.

    Denver Nuggets – Corey Brewer Pulls Off a Magical Finish

    Despite trailing with only 14 seconds left on the clock; despite Ty Lawson not playing and in general being outplayed for almost the entire game, the Denver Nuggets pulled off another win and kept their secretive winning streak alive (now at 14 games), mostly thanks to a clutch performance from Corey Brewer, rescuing his team with some impressive off-the-bench scoring

  • Denver Nuggets, Best Inside Scoring Team in the NBA

    Denver Nuggets, Best Inside Scoring Team in the NBA

    As expected, the Denver Nuggets scored quite a lot of points in the paint against the Chicago Bulls in their 119-118 win, 68 for a matter of fact. Scoring from close range is going hand in hand with their 12 game winning streak, which is going slightly unnoticed because of what LeBron James and the Miami Heat are doing.

    Denver Nuggets – The Best Home Team in the NBA

    Playing back-to-back nights is always a tough thing, and the Los Angeles Clippers simply fell apart in one of the toughest venues in the NBA, as the Denver Nuggets, led by Ty Lawson on the offensive end and Andre Iguodala on the defensive one, were too much to handle in the second half.

    Denver Nuggets – A Surprising Winning Streak That Just Won’t End

    After nine consecutive wins and fifteen in their last seventeen games, maybe it’s time to take the Denver Nuggets seriously. But probably not. Not when their history shows that under George Karl, except for one time, the first round in the playoffs is too much for them.

    Kobe Bryant can score 30 or around that points; Dwight Howard can grab 26 rebounds. Eventually, if you play fast-paced basketball, you’re going to be the Los Angeles Lakers.
