The Maybes and the Real Stuff

If you want speculations about who is going to what team or who should go to what team and what might happen if this player is traded or that one is drafted, I am generally not your guy, at least for right now. Except that I might do this on occasion for superstars such as Anthony, Iverson, and Camby.

Most of the time, I like to report on the real situation in the here and now, so I give you the most complete game reports available. I can almost always tell you why and how what happened in a game happened, and who is responsible for what in a game. Of course, the here and now includes off-season stuff that actually happens, such as the upcoming draft, and I will report and comment on those things. And I do like to predict the outcome of games and series in advance, but you will not very often find me predicting how good a franchise might be if they make this or that move.

For example, I have seen prognosticators talking about Oden and Durant going to the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, I know Portland and Seattle are going to be better after this draft, but predicting they are a lock for the playoffs within a couple of years is a stretch. After all, the Nuggets are not a lock for the playoffs with Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson!

I report and comment mostly on all things that have actually happened, and generally stay away from talking about the maybes. I know lots of sports fans like to discuss the maybes, because it's fun, so I am searching far and wide on the net to find you the best blog writers and forums for that. You can find all of the best web links by going to The Best Links page.

New Stuff & Damn You J.R. Smith

This week Nuggets 1 has added in numerous news feeds and video jukeboxes. I have created the look and feel of a regular website, while maintaining the best features of blogs. I was thinking that it would be mandatory to move to a regular hosted site, but I have already, with Google blogger, achieved some of the functionality that in the past could only be obtained with a regular hosted site. So it may not be so mandatory to move anymore.

Check out some of the new player pages, and don't miss Nuggets 1 News, where you can't miss anything that has happened related to the Nuggets or Colorado. Colorado Sports will keep you up to date with the other sports teams in Colorado. All of the pro teams are there, and the Colorado Buffaloes and the Colorado State Rams are there. I am thinking about adding some Denver area high school sports coverage, and if I am thinking about something, it is usually only a matter of time before it comes in to being.

During the rest of the summer, I will be adding in photo galleries with slide shows, as well as more videos for a new video page.

And I will be posting about the Nuggets but, as you can tell from my game reports, I am most motivated to tell you about the Nuggets based on what matters the most in basketball, the performance on the court.

For now, I will just say: "Damn you J.R. Smith, I took your side over that of George Karl, and then you had that stupid traffic incident, which reduces the negativity, somewhat, surrounding the Coach's decision to bench you in the playoffs, which ended any chance that the Nuggets could beat the Spurs. J.R., we had him hook, line, and sinker, but you let him wiggle off and swim away. Now we may be stuck with him for longer than it had to be. Meanwhile, other teams such as the Rockets and the Kings are setting themselves up with coaches who actually know how to coach.

Damn you J.R.. I'm glad you are alright, but next time, take the damn bus."
