Lose Three Straight, But Catch a 7'6" Break

Three straight losses!?!?! WE”RE DOOMED!!! Wait, hold on, let’s just think about this for a minute. Even after an unforgivable losing streak in a conference where every game matters, the Nuggs still may have a shot at the playoffs, despite the poor play as of late.

How can the Nuggs be alright? Well, let’s just say we caught a big break. A huge break. A 7’6” break. The Rockets, after winning every game in February to this point, lost Yao for the season with a broken foot.

If the Nuggs continue to keep winning like they were the past few weeks, then things should be totally fine. There’s absolutely no way that Tracy McGrady can carry the slack all by himself, not in a league this tough when it’s all coming down to the wire.

So, with our own destiny out of our hands for right now, all Denver can do is win what’s left and hope Huston finally slows down. Looking ahead for the Nuggs (33-23)

· The worst team in basketball, Seattle (15-40) on Wednesday
· The next worst team in basketball, Los Angles Clippers (19-35) on Friday
· The broken giants, Huston (36-20) on Sunday, possibly for the eighth spot in the West
