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 tr...
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!...

Epic Fail In Oakland (And Dirk Is A Space Monster!)
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who would do anything for love, but he won't do that. No, he won't do that. When he's not memorizing Meat Loaf lyrics, you can find him karaokeing them at Basketbawful. Enjoy! Hey Warriors...what's that on your face? I'll tell you. It's egg. And mud. And th...
The Playoff Hunt Continu ... Mmm, Nuggets Dancers
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who wishes he could rest his starters for the rest of the regular season.

Where...Crossdressing Mascots Happen?
The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who is seriously glad it's Friday.

On a night in which the Denver Nuggets thrashed the Dallas Mavericks 1...
Strangely, Lawyer's Attempts To Shush "Fire George Karl" Haven't Worked

Carmelo Anthony Should Live Rather Comfortably
Over the weekend, The Rocky Mountain News told the tale of Carmelo Anthony's new pad in suburban Denver. (Via Slushy Gutter.) The place originally was listed at $17 million, but its price was "slashed" to a far more modest $11.95 million. Some great factoids:...
Kobe, Carmelo, Iverson ... Exit Stage Left, Please
Before last night's Suns-Lakers Game 5, Henry at True Hoop looked at just how much the Lakers would change in the offseason if they lost, which, of course, they did. So now it can start. Trade Kobe!
