In Mourning Over the Nuggets
What a lousy way to end a great season….
I really enjoyed the Nuggets all year. I am just disappointed with the last five quarters. Still, they played incredible basketball and went a lot farther than I expected at the beginning of the season. When they play defense, they are a great team. When they pass the ball and move without the ball, they are a great team. Unfortunately, they forgot those things for the last five quarters of the series with the Lakers or they would still be playing.
The good news is that they have all the pieces to make another run next year. JR is ready to break into the big time and Chauncy and Melo are both playing great. We need to get more consistent offense from Nene and consistent team defense should be the top priority for 2009-2010.
Now I am rooting for the Magic. I was just in Orlando visiting with good friends of mine. They are Orlando personal injury attorneys and are major Magic fans. While I wish we could have seen a Denver/Orlando Championship series, I am now on the Magic bandwagon and rooting for them to beat both LeBron and Kobe. Go Magic!
