Nuggets crush Lakers

The Denver Nuggets beat the L.A. Lakers 105-79 last night at the Pepsi Center in our best win of the young season.

I’d been looking forward to this game for weeks, but on the way home from work yesterday I bought Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and, well, I barely caught any of the Nuggets game. Go ahead and judge me, but then try racing down a mountain with a handgun on a snowmobile and change your mind. It’s a great game, even better than the first Modern Warfare.

Anyway, have some highlights, and be sure to stick around for Ty Lawson’s dunk at the end:

That Ty Lawson dunk was completely sick! I still don't get how we picked him up at #18, but I am glad about it.

Also happy to hear that CODMW2 is worth the investment . . .

I am really disappointed with Chris Simms. I think Denver should pursue Major Applewhite.

You have no idea how much I cracked up reading that, David.

That game was awesome. A win is sooo much more satisfying when it comes at the hands of the Lakers. The best part of the game was the Nuggets' defense. They held the Lakers to only 8 points in the third quarter!

Ty Lawson should start in place of Chris Simms.

Orange Julius

All right, class, what kind of things do we look for in an NBA draftee? A player who's proven, or one with oodles of upside? A guy coming off a spectacular college career, or one coming off the bench for his Serbian club team? A player who's shown constant improvement, or one who mysteriously fared worse as a senior than a junior? No, Kiki, put your hand down, it's the first answer to each of these questions, not the second. Yesterday the Nuggets picked 20th in the first round, selecting Julius Hodge, shooting guard/small forward, out of North Carolina State. College fans will immediately recognize his name, as Hodge was the ACC Player of the Year as a junior. Unfortunately, he just finished his senior year, which was marked mostly by a dip in his scoring numbers (he developed a sudden inability to hit free throws or threes) and a punch to the groin by Wake Forest guard Chris Paul. Hodge is mostly a mid-range and slashing-type scorer, kind of like the more-than-sufficient s...

Who cares?

So we finally got done with the NBA playoffs after nearly two months of stretched-out play, and tomorrow's the draft. I really couldn't care less. I'm so burned out on the sport. Sadly, there's nothing else going on worth mentioning, so we might as well get into it. (Yes, baseball, Pugs, but I haven't really started following that this year yet, sorry.) Would the NFL hold its draft five days after the Super Bowl? Of course not, and not just because the league doesn't want to distract from the highlight of its annual calendar, the Pro Bowl. Of course, the NBA's situation is a little different. College play ended two and a half months ago, and the teams want to get draftees ready for the all-important summer league play (because the kind of guys that need the summer league always end up players). Not that when college basketball is over is relevant, anyway-the league is overrun by a bunch of high school players "just months removed from their prom" (...

Five mini-columns

In this in-between time at the start of football and late-but-not-that-late in the everlasting baseball season, there's not any one topic that stands out, so I thought I'd give you my well thought out opinions on five things in sports (originally ten, but I let No. 3 run so long that I thought I'd cut it short (having now finished this, I realize the word short is out of place here)). This probably means I'll have nothing to write about for weeks, so enjoy. Keep in mind that a) I came up with this list at 2 a.m. this morning (I couldn't sleep and I'm not kidding; you have no idea the kind of pressure that comes with running this website) and b) I'm still not making any money off this, so if it makes no sense, blame yourself (which, interestingly enough, also makes no sense). And we're off! 1) Maurice Clarett vs. Ohio State: Before you skip down to No. 2, which I would certainly do in your position, hear me out. There is actually a little timeliness to t...
