Chugging Along....

Carmelo Anthony has been hotter than a frying pan as of late. He has carried the Nuggs offensively, scoring an amazing 121 points in the last three games. Do the math. Ok, ill do it for you. That’s over 40 points per game after 77 games in a grinding 82 game season.

The win last night over the LA Clippers was absolutely critical to the Nuggets playoff dreams, but that was the first game of the rest of their playoff lives. Denver stays in the Golden State for a huge matchup with the Warriors on Thursday, one that could decide the 8th place position in the ridiculously competitive Western Conference.

After that battle, it’s off to Utah where the official Northwest Champion Jazz try to rob the Nuggs of playoff glory. Talk about running uphill. After that, you ask? The Nuggs finally come home for the last two games of the season. It starts with a battle with the Rockets, who have locked in a playoff spot for themselves but still look beatable. Then the regular season finishes with a contest with Memphis.

Just a little FYI in case you Nuggets fanatics are interested in attending the final Nuggets game, it’s free food night at Pepsi Center. Yeah, that’s right, free food. All food. Every food. Find me near the food cart. I'll get all my fans some nachos.
