As Dallas’ players keep dropping like flies, the Nuggs keep getting stronger. Despite starting the season with considerable injuries (Atkins, Nene and K. Mart), Denver seems to be on the up and up toward the end of the season. With only 11 games left in the regular season, the timing couldn’t be better. Denver definitely needs all the help that they can get while playing in the most competitive Western Conference in recent memory.
The man known only as Nene might be back in action for the Nuggets Thursday night against the Mavs. Nene, the Brazilian Beast, the 6’11”, 270 pound cancer survivor, would definitely contribute to the end of the season rush as players are getting worn down in this 82 game rat race. He’s only played in 12 games so far this season, all in the opening weeks, but Coach Karl thinks that he’s just about ready to suit up and run. Nene practiced in 5 on 5 drills for the first time in months yesterday.
The rush is on, and the Nuggs need to win the next 11 games no matter what to have a chance at making the playoffs. Some outside help is necessary, but with Golden State on the schedule twice in the remaining weeks, the Nuggets destiny is in their own hands. At least for right now, anyway, so hold on tight and let’s hope they come to play tonight.
