I'm going to agree with Hollinger across the board on his Nene analysis. In a word, Nene was huge last year, and allowed the Nuggets to emerge from the "you fools paid way to much for Nene" syndrome. "Nene is back" was a rallying cry in the Denver lockeroom last year.
As Hollinger states, the most amazing thing of all about Nene was that he just kept getting better and better as the season went along, until he was giving Duncan all he could handle in the series. And, it has to be noted, Nene was playing through pain in alot of games last year. The Brazilian is a gamer and a keeper.
We just need for Nene to keep the fat off and to avoid any further knee or leg problems. Is that too much to ask?
If it's not too much to ask, I'd also like to ask that K-Mart's knees hold out for the whole season and that Camby be sidelined for no more than a dozen games. Thanks in advance God.
