The Denver Nuggets looked to bounce back from their disastrous loss to Washington last night when they squared off vs. the Charlotte Bobcats this evening at The Time Warner Cable Arena. George Karl wanted a strong defensive effort out of his Nuggets, and he got just that out of Andre Iguodala and the bounce-back Nuggets. Read More





16 three pointers from the Nets and a season high of 25 by Brooklyn guard, C.J. Watson led the Nets to a 119-108 victory Wednesday night over the Nuggets. Yes, a loss and no tacos! The Nuggets did get Wilson chandler and Javale McGee back for their final game before the All Star break, but were still without their best defender Iggy and Danillo Gallinari, as both will rest up for the business end of the season. 
After the gut wrenching triple OT loss to Boston on Sunday, tonight the Nuggets suffered another depressing loss, dropping their record to 33-20 on the year. Rudy Gay scored his only bucket of the 2nd half with a baseline jumper with 4.8 seconds to go to give Toronto the 1 point win. The loss keeps the Nuggets in the 5th seed in the West, and the news regarding the roster isn’t too swell either. The injury bug is starting to hit the Nuggets, and at the worst possible time.
Coming into Tuesday, the Nuggets were 30-18 and hosting Monta Ellis and the Milwaukee Bucks. Playing sub-par early in the game and down by 2 after the first quarter, 15 at the half, and 7 after the third, the Nuggets just wouldn’t be denied. Despite Dalembert’s 35 points, Gallo and Lawson both added 22 points as the Nuggs outscored the Bucks 33-18 in the fourth quarter to get the 112-104 victory and extend their winning streak to 7 games, which is currently the second longest winning streak in the NBA as of Tuesday, and has catapulted them into a tie for 4th place in the Western Conference.
The Denver Nuggets are 11-3 in the month of January, which has put them in the top-5 in just about every national basketball poll out there. Despite questionable losses to Minnesota and Washington during this month, they now sit at 28-18, which is good for 6th in the western conference as of Tuesday. Ever since the addition of Iggy to the back-court before the start of the season, the expectations have been pretty high for fans here in Denver, and across the nation. A little more than half-way through this season, Are the Nuggets coming into their own and becoming one of the better teams in the NBA?
