WOAH there

Wow. What happened to the Denver Nuggets in New Jersey last night? Seriously, coming off of some really HUGE wins over the last few weeks, the Nuggets got SLAMMED by the Nets - 114 to 70. And the New Jersey Nets aren't even that good. I don't understand what went on there, but according to Denver Nuggets roster star Chauncey Billups, it's kind of something you have to expect a few times a year:

"To be honest with you, of course I wanted to win, but I'm not disappointed.
I've been in the league a long time, and you're going to have three or four of
these nights a year, on both sides. It's over with. Wash it off with the
shower."


Yeah, everyone has their off nights. And I can see how a couple of the guys having an off night could potentially rub off on the other players. And yes, we are still sitting in the number one spot in the division (woohoo!). But that's quite a loss for a team that is playoff material. I just hope that the guys are able to wash it off with the shower, cause this is not the kind of energy these guys want to have around if they really want to push it to the playoffs.

Next up on the Denver Nuggets schedule: the boys head to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat on Tuesday night. Send positive Denver vibes in that direction, por favor.
