Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets are not an excuse-laden bunch, but they are realists.

Brandon Jennings is a Buck, but he's also a trailblazer. After graduating from high school, Jennings opted to play professionally in Italy.

Up just two points at halftime, the Nuggets outscored the defending champion Lakers 29-8 in the third quarter, breezing to a 105-79 victory at the Pepsi Center.

INDIANAPOLIS – Danny Granger deserves your attention. But what he wants most is the attention of his teammates. In a league that relentlessly promotes its star players, Granger is one of the last, true mostly unknown primetime players.

The Nuggets started a six-game road trip last week and did so with a bang, getting wins at Indiana and New Jersey. They fizzled at the end of the week, getting beat at Miami and Atlanta. This week they finish at Chicago and Milwaukee. Adding injury to insult was the loss of Kenyon Martin, who is [...]

David Thompson can pinpoint the precise moment the Lakers pretty much began to own the Nuggets. But before we get to April 15, 1979, at McNichols Sports Arena, consider that when the Nuggets entered the NBA in 1976, maybe they didn't own the Lakers. But at least they rented them.

ESPN is currently scheduled to show Houston at Dallas at 6 p.m. MDT April 15, the season’s final day. Network executives might want to rethink that one. Scheduled to start the same time are Detroit at Miami and Philadelphia at Cleveland. How about a split screen, with one game on each side?

After losing Mikki Moore to Boston, Nuggets coach George Karl said Denver still could add a player.

As it currently stands, the Nuggets lead Northwest Division challengers Portland Trail Blazers by 1½ games and Utah by three games. Under the Doug Moe system, awarding plus-1 for a road win and minus-1 for a home loss, the Nuggets still have a comfortable cushion on both teams.

The Nuggets are hoping Oklahoma City buys out big man Joe Smith, enabling Denver to pursue him. In the meantime, Johan Petro, a former Oklahoma City big man, has stepped up.

An interesting development late Sunday in Milwaukee. It looked like free-agent big man Mikki Moore was going to decide on a new team by midnight, but his agent said that a final decision won't be made until Monday. Mark Bartelstein added that the Nuggets are still among the teams Moore is considering.
