Boom, Outta Here?!?!

At least he's an Avs fan.....


This is a photo of the Avs recent 1st round pick in the '09 draft, Matt Duchene....when he was a kid.
Little whippersnapper was a huge Avs fan growing up in ONT.

I find that rather fucking awesome.

Exactly 4 months after the fact I give you a bad cellphone photo of Fucked Up at the Larimer Lounge

Even 4 months later, the show resonates with brilliant Canadian HC fury. The picture sucks. What do you want from a 2 year old Samsung flip phone, huh?
Besides Avalanche management upheaval and Broncos mini camps and whatnot pretty barren material-wise.
>Not sure what to make of the Av's recent shakeup. At all.
>Broncos' schedule is so brutal, their record could be one of the worst since the Ralston era.
>Nuggets will maintain. This team has a lot of expectations next year. They going to live up to said expectations.

Saving the Worst for Last


Hate to see the Nuggets go out in such bed-shitting fashion, especially at home, especially against the Lakers. In this forgettable and down-right unwatchable Game 6, the Nuggets looked disorganized, disinterested, and ultimately defeated. It was somewhat reminiscent of many Nuggets-Lakes games in years past where it just seemed like the Nuggets never had much of a chance, especially from midway through the 2nd quarter on. That's not at all how I would like to remember this otherwise impressive playoff run.

You almost expect to have a one horrible performance in a long series. But, by losing a couple of games they should've probably won, the Nuggets left themselves no margin or error and paid for it. All in all, it is encouraging that this team was able to compete with the Lakers, in spite of pretty lack luster performances by Chauncey, JR, and (other than the first game and a half), Melo (was that ankle worse than we were ever told?). No one shot the ball very well, which could have made the difference in a couple of games. Keep this team together and there is no reason we can't be right back here next year. Go Magic/Cavs!!

Ignore This Man


No TV up here in the Kodiak bear den so I listened to the Worldwide Leader’s Game 5 radio broadcast. Dr. Jack and the other guy calling the game might as well have been wearing Kobe unis. During the first three quarters while the Nou-Gats had more boards, assists and steals than the Lady Lakers, the “announcers” were quoted as saying things like “The Denver Nuggets are actually playing these Lakers close.” What’s more annoying, Dr. Jack also sounded a little too much like Bill Raftery, accentuating the last three words of every sentence in an effort to make ordinary events seem more exciting, when in fact it only sounds like we are witness to a conversation between a patient and proctologist during an exam. “Kobe certainly has a WAY WITH WOMEN!” In frustration I eventually turned off the radio and just followed the GameCast. To be sure, I will WATCH Game 6 in Henry’s Great Alaskan Restaurant with a bunch of loud crab fishermen, where the “announcers” will be silent and I will root for my Nou-Gats. Suck it Ramsay.

Great Seats, Shitty Game


TroutDog here, trying to emerge from the haze of disbelief after witnessing last night's crushing loss to the Lakers first-hand. To put it mildly: that 4th quarter flat sucked. Didn't help that Melo, Nene, and KMart were stranded on the bench for significant minutes due to foul trouble, but the inability to hit the big shot (or the 3-ball in general throughout the game) ends up costing the Nuggets Game 3. Then there's a little matter of not being able to inbound the ball at the end of games. There was utter shock felt throughout the Can after the botched pass was (again) stolen by Trevor Ariza to pretty much seal the Laker's win. Of course, the numerous Kobe-uni-clad dipshits became even more insufferable.

Obviously, Game 4 becomes a must-win game for the Nuggets. Might be a good time for Chauncey and JR to step up and find their shooting touch before this series is lost. Also, Denver needs to step up the court-side star power if we are to have any chance of competing against LA. Where are you Jake Jabs?!?!

Oh, and note to Nuggets fans at the Can: Kobe does not suck. (Likewise, the Red Wings do not suck Avs fans.)

Until Game 4, TD is retreating back to the Tuaca Chill Zone....

Nuggets with a huge win, but I still hate L.A.....


Seems that the Lakers return the favor in Game 2. L.A. probably shoulda had this one at 2-0 heading into Denver but somehow the Nugs come through and put their resilience front-and-center and come from behind at the Staples Center and steal one.
Great run at the end of the first half; crucial momentum shift.
Linas?!? Good move by Karl to let him loose...I would have second guessed that shit pretty much any game all season, but with early foul trouble for others, LK certainly shined when he was given the chance tonight.
Chauncey and Melo, as they should be, "stars" and team mainstays. Nene' with a crucial dish to K-Mart late. Freethrow percentage acceptable. (even though Chauncey's miss at the end scared me.) Fish cold as ice.
