By Nugg Doctor(scallywg31@aol.com) The Nuggets extended their lead to 15 points with under a minute to play after the Bird snared his fourth block of the half and Kenyon Martin brought the house down with a backboard shaking jam. Denver held that margin going into the half, 57-42, led by a trio of Nuggets offensively. Nene was a p...

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) Chauncey Billups added another chapter to his fairy tale return to Denver, posting 28 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds and just two turnovers as the Nuggets beat the Mavericks 124-110 to close out their second round series 4-1 and advance to the Western Conference Finals. Carmelo Anthony had a team-high 30 points, while J.R. Smith contributed 18 points off of the bench. Dirk Nowitzki had 32 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in defeat. Nene and Kenyon Martin are both healthy for the first time in a while and they are providing great inside play at both ends of the court, while Dahntay Jones has emerged as a Raja Bell-style defensive irritant. The Nuggets have an excellent bench, led by the scoring prowess of J.R. Smith and the shotblocking of...   [read the full post]

By Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman) The most obvious difference about the Nuggets this year is their team-wide commitment to playing good defense. Billups certainly has always displayed that type of commitment but he is not even the best perimeter defender on his own team (Dahntay Jones, not Billups, guarded Chris Paul in the first round). Chris Andersen does not play heavy minutes but his shotblocking has had a huge impact, because any player who drives to the hoop versus Denver has to be wary of his presence. It has also been critically important for the Nuggets that Nene and Kenyon Martin have been healthy for most of the year. Acquiring Billups turned out to be the final piece of the puzzle for the Nuggets; mixing metaphors, the Nuggets have really enjoyed a perfect storm th...   [read the full post]

By Nugg Doctor(scallywg31@aol.com) Jameer Nelson scored 21 points in the half to lead all scorers and Linas Kleiza paced the Nuggets with 14 points off the bench. For the stat heads, not a single Nugget starter had a positive +/- (to be fair, Kenyon Martin was even, but J.R. Smith, Dahntay Jones, and Nene were each -6), while all Nu...

By rss@youtube.com (1EDmanLV) DENVER, January 15,2009(AP) -- Chauncey Billups shook off the flu long enough to help put away the Phoenix Suns. Billups scored five of his game-high 26 points in overtime and the Denver Nuggets beat the Phoenix Suns 119-113 on Thursday night. Nene had 17 points and 14 rebounds and Kenyon Ma...

By scallywg31@aol.com (Nugg Doctor) But, on that note, Nene played a great first half. Big Brazil scored 13 points and grabbed seven rebounds through two quarters, did an excellent job of limiting Greg Oden to just one rebound in the first half, and put the Portland big man in foul trouble early with his quickness. The Nuggets al...

By Coach Samuel What appeared to some as being an even trade turned out to be lopsided. The Nuggets' acquisition of Chauncey Billips has propelled Denver into one of the top teams in the Western Conference. The confidence they showed in Nene Halario as their center  also allowed Denver to trade Marcus Camb...

By Will Brinson For the Nuggets, well, WTF? They've now made a semi-slew of questionable moves, first by locking up Nene and then shipping out Marcus Camby, although this move does give them a true point guard and the ability to start J.R. Smith at the two alongside Billups (and yes, the thought of Smith gett...

By Tom Ziller The Nuggets have an opportunity to explore the depths, too. But it would take a fire sale and a major injury to 'Melo for Denver to slide under 38-39 wins. Nene is good enough, and Kenyon Martin wasn't so bad last season. And J.R. Smith is starting to make people believe. Even if Denver trades A.I. for p...

By Tom Ziller The Nuggets, on the other hand, appear to have reached their apex. Marcus Camby is gone. Despite the scoring stats, Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony still haven't produced a playoff series win. Nene and Kenyon Martin, who anchor the frontcourt, have struggled through repeated injuries. D...

By podcast@nuggetshoops.com (aswitzer) So, with Camby the only active Nuggets player over 6′8, Wilks was released so that they could pursue a big player to help shore up the frontline until we can get Martin, Nene, and Hunter back on the court. Wilks was averaging 3.0 PPG, 1.5 RPG, and appeared in 8 games for the Nuggets.

Marc J. Spears of THE DENVER POST writes, "A healthy Marcus Camby is feeling the pressure to stay healthy for the Nuggets. With Camby starting at center, the Nuggets have filled the roles of Kenyon Martin (season-ending knee surgery) and Nene (knee contusion) with veterans Eduardo Najera...
