Running Uphill.....

So, destiny no longer rests in the Nugg’s hands, and times are tough here in Denver, but there is still hope on the horizon. Losses to beatable teams like Sacramento and Seattle means that the pressure for wins is even greater. But for the Nuggs players, and to all you fans, the idea isn’t to dwell on “what if’s” and “shoulda coulda’s”, nut to docus on the five remaining games.

We shouldn’t even THINK about injuries, either, despite Melo’s sore shoulder and A.I.’s broken finger, oh no. The focus in on the FUTURE, the dream of being in the playoffs this season is so, so, so, so, so close to coming true.

The Nuggs are in fact in a position to go to the playoffs if the season ended today, because even though we have the same record as Golden State we hold the tiebreaker. But, we do play Golden State later on this week in a critical matchup. And, we still have to play powerhouses Utah and Huston before it’s all over.

But let’s not even think about these match ups yet. First and foremost, the Nuggs must defeat the Clippers tonight to have any sort of prayer of taking one of the top eight spots in the West.

As Nuggets fans, we’re in for a show, for better or for worse. As Terrel Owens would put it, ya betta grab ya popcorn.
