    George Karl Does Not Miss Allen Iverson

    So how is that Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups trade working out? Funny you should ask! The Nuggets are 5-1 since adding Billups. The Pistons are just 3-3 with A.I., but they did win three straight on the road and gave the Los Angeles Lakers their first loss of the season. So everyone's happy, right? You bet they are! But maybe no one is more quietly pleased than Denver coach George Karl. Ok, maybe not so quietly—since he's just flat out saying that Iverson was a coach's nightmare. (Especially if your coach happens to be George Karl.) More »

    Allen Iverson Traded: The Day After

    So Allen Iverson is now a Piston. And Chauncey Billiups is heading back to Colorado. And the world now knows the name Cheikh Samb. But what does it mean for Detroit, Denver, Antonio McDyess and the rest of the NBA? Detailed analysis, educated guesses, wild speculation and whatever the hell Woody Paige does below: More »

    Allen Iverson On His Way To Detroit

    The Detroit Pistons are this close (imagine my thumb and index fingers very near to each other) to trading Chauncey Billiups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb to the Denver Nuggets for Allen Iverson. The Detroit News was first on this, and others are now saying that the deal has been agreed to in principle and could be final within the hour. More »

    30 Previews In 30 Days: The Denver Nuggets

    NBA training camps have begun; the season is rapidly approaching. Can you dig it? I knew that you could. And so we continue our previews: 30 of them in 30 days. Up next is a team that couldn't locate D in the alphabet: The Denver Nuggets.

    When last we saw them: Finished 50-32, second in the Northwest Division and eighth overall in the West. This earned them the right to serve as the Lakers' hors d'oeuvres in the first round. (Cocktail weenies! Yum!) Note that the Nuggets had the dubious distinction of being the only team that was swept out of any round of last year's playoffs. In fact, Carmelo Anthony even accused the team of quitting. It's called "Leadership," people. Look it up. More »

    Nuggets Fan Celebrates Hole-in-One with J.R. Smith In His Foursome


    Yep, just your run of the mill, guy goes golfing with a 22 year old NBA player who went to the league straight from high school and hits a hole-in-one story. Our epic tale begins when our narrator, Mike Wolf, and his neighbor head out to the public course and find out that J.R. Smith has been assigned to their foursome. First goal of the round? Make J.R. comfortable of course. How? "To break the ice, I announced to the group that anyone who pars a par 3, birdies a 4 or eagles a 5 has to raise their hands with three fingers aloft in the JR salute." It gets better from there.

    Camby Trade: Mark Warkentien is no Garry Kasparov

    So the Denver Nuggets traded the only guy on their roster who sometimes kinda-sorta plays defense — Marcus Camby, the 2007 Defensive Player of the Year — to the Los Angeles Clippers for...wait, what was that again? The option to exchange second-round picks with the Clips in 2010 and a $10 million trade exception that they probably won't even use? More »

    Big Surprises In Denver! (But Not Really)

    The NBA Closer is written by Kyra Sedgwick ... I mean, Matt McHale, would be pretty happy to see more basketball and fewer promos from TNT, thank you very much. When he's hating on TNT's internal marketing campaign, he can be found skipping to his lou at Basketbawful. Enjoy!

    Quitters never win. The Nuggets didn't give up on this game — they actually fought tooth and nail to the bitter end — but that didn't change the end result: The Lakers completed their four-game sweep with a 107-101 win. More »

    K-Mart Pokes The Mamba

    With the not-at-all close Lakers-Nuggets series coming to Denver for Game 3 this afternoon, Kenyon Martin has seen fit to provoke Kobe, who dropped 49 and 10 on the Nuggets in Game 2. Martin says it's "better to be pissed off than pissed on." That's the voice of experience talking.

    Congratulations, Denver. Every novel needs a character after which no kid shall ever be named; every reality show needs an agitator. This year, you narrowly edged out Golden State for the right to represent the crazed and unruly in the all-too-regal Western Conference playoffs. More »
