Continuing our December recap, wherein we somehow make up for 30 whole days away in one.
Yeah, right up there with Scoop Jackson’s infamous Roundie column and the NY-DEN fight, the whole Allen Iverson thing was the biggest thing to make us go “oh man, why did this have to happen now…” in December.
Daily updates on where he was headed and how bad the Seventy-Sixers were playing were all over the place, and we weren’t here for you.
As you well know, AI ended up in Denver, and all the Nuggets really had to give up was point guard Andre Miller. (PHI got robbed – end of story.) That’s really the summation of where this is at – the real interest at this point begins when Melo gets back from his suspension.
For what it’s worth, the Nuggets are about what you’d expect with “Allen and some other guys” – a little less than average. Coach George Karl chooses to remain optimistic, such as after losing to the Hornets Friday night.
“I can’t not enjoy watching my team play right now,” Karl said. “They play hard and they play good basketball. Sometimes you just don’t make shots.”
Now, if you’ve not noticed by, the Nuggets actually played the Mavs last night.
So why take a quote and link from Friday’s game?
Because we wrote this post on Saturday.
Oh man, we’re playing some sick games with you, huh? December is all crazy like that, plus 2006 and Saturdays are crazy like that.
As for the Nuggets and the AI experiment, we say it works…for this season. The thing is, even if Iverson, Melo, and Coach George can coexist, we really don’t think this type of team is one to go all the way.
They’ll be fun to watch, but Nene the Knee and Marcus Camby (shouldn’t he be retiring soon?) just ain’t gonna do it inside. We think they have some Mexican guy, too. Just throw his name in that last sentence.
Sorry, the original Superman is on, and we can’t concentrate when the helicopter rescue scene is on. We want to say it’s our favorite scene from any movie ever, but then you’re totally locked into that. What if we start thinking about that one scene in that one other movie, and then we want to declare that our favorite?
That makes us liar and jerkface, and that’s something we vowed to never be again after next week, and starting last week. Right now.
(”That one other movie” is The Three Amigos.)
