Smokin' Nugs

You thought this was a Broncos blog didn't you? Didn't you?

Well, for the next 15 minutes, or however long it takes to write this post, it's a Denver Nuggets blog. Here's a few predictions as to how the Nugs '08-'09 campaign plays out.

Nene, playing 30 lbs over his ideal weight, will blow out the A, P and MCL on both of his knees within the first month of the season.

The Nugs will be the first team in NBA history to allow 200 pts. in a game, with teams averaging 125 against them over the course of the year.

Koby Karl, at the urging of his Daddy, will be signed to a series of 10-day contracts.

Kenyon Martin will go bat-shit insane and take a swing at Stephen Hunter during a game.

JR Smith will go bonkers for 35 pts. one night and then inexplicably shoot 2-40 over the next four games. He may or may not get shot in a drive-by.

Juwan Howard might average 1 min. per game. Might.

The Birdman will win the dunk contest, avenging his worthless '05 showing.

Adrian Dantley will get fucked over in the HOF voting.

Rocky will continue to be the best mascot in the NBA.

I will personally hunt down that stupid dancing usher (he's a paid dancer by the way) and slice his Achilles.

Carmelo Anthony will be traded at the deadline, at which point I will stop watching the NBA.
