yes on offense. but now the interior D is miles below what it could be
I'm sure NuGgEtsfAn still thinks they're going to take out the Lakers

JustBlaze is a lot dumber, I'm not sure if nuggetsfan or however you capitalize it is ever being serious.I'm sure NuGgEtsfAn still thinks they're going to take out the Lakers
Lucky for the Nuggets, Kmart has a nice fat expiring contract come next season. The guy is going to be 33 in less than a year from now. Knee and previous injuries at that age are only going to hurt him more. Deal him for a young bigman piece.
On offense, enver will be just fine. They have enough scorers as it is so Kmart isn't a blow on that side of the ball. However that D, while it isn't special to begin with, is even worse.
Too bad for Denver .. but now they have ALL kinds of excuses for the inevitable implosion this team was heading for.
Denver can look good when everything is rolling once adversity strikes they fold like a cheap table ...
I never was seriously worried about Denver ...Dallas post-trade looks good but they also are known to fold when the stakes are highest ...but it's the one team that can match our length ...in the west and caron adds toughness ...
Phoenix vs. denver would be a GREAT 1st round series ...as would Spurs vs. Suns. I think it would be poetic to start a great playoffs with THOSE two teams and maybe the suns would bring out the best in Timmy who seems to be running on fumes right now ...I KNOW it would bring out the best in Manu ...
I think best mathcups round 1
Lakers vs. Blazers (roy vs. kobe Aldridge vs. Pau)
Dallas vs. Spurs (always a good matchup)
Denver vs. Phoenix (high scoring, vet PG's, shaky defense)
utah vs. OKC (dwill vs. Westbbrook, Durant probably guarded by AK, boozer vs. green)
I doubt these happen but i think that I would watch all games in the west.
In the east I have no interest in cavs vs, Raptors (if that is not a 4game blowout sweep...Cavs are overrated.)
the other EAST series can all be VERY interesting ...
Wow, this is too bad. Hopefully he can play, and close to 100%. Denver has a chance to win it all this year.
Denver needs to forget about Petro or Allen and put Melo at the 4.
Still butthurt I see about the ownage I delivered in the Lakers/Suns thread as well as on your troll account. Lol @ calling Goran Dragic's game against the Nuggets beastly when he dropped only 12 points. Lol @ Goran shutting Billups down in the 2nd quarter when Billups only took 1 shot that entire quarter(which happened to be a three point attempt) and was looking to get his team mates involved. Good stuff maynnnn...
Martin wants to return from injury before playoffs
Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin said Thursday he wants to test his injured left knee before the end of the regular season to shake off the rust before the playoffs begin.
Martin has missed 14 straight games with patellar tendinitis. He underwent platelet-rich plasma therapy on the knee in Vail, Colo., on March 8.
In the procedure, a tube of a patient’s blood is taken and put in a centrifuge and spun, producing concentrated platelets. Those contain growth factors that accelerate tissue repair and regeneration. The platelets are then injected into the injury site.
Martin opted for the therapy instead of surgery to try to come back for the playoffs.
“That’s what I’m shooting for. Actually, I’m shooting to see if I can get back before then because I don’t think it’s going to be good for me to come out with a playoff game as my first game in a month and a half,” he said. “We all know playoff basketball is different so I’ll probably need a game or two under my belt if that’s possible. If not, I’ll deal with it and do what I’ve got to do.”
Martin said he has increased his rehab and hasn’t had any setbacks. He said he did light running on the court Thursday and everything went well.
“Today was a good day. It’s looking positive but I still haven’t played any basketball yet. I don’t know how it’s going to react during the game,” he said.
Denver has missed Martin’s defense and team-leading 9.6 rebounds a game. He hasn’t played since the Nuggets’ 119-90 win over Oklahoma City on March 3. The team won seven of eight after that.
More recently, however, they’ve struggled and dropped from the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference to No. 5.
“It’s almost unbearable for me to sit over there to see the guys struggling,” Martin said. “It’s tough, but we can’t feel sorry for ourselves. We need these games.”
Martin said he doesn’t have a set day to return to the Vail clinic but the Nuggets’ struggles are contributing to his healing process.
“For the team it’s kind of speeding my recovery up a little bit,” he said. “I’ve got to look at the situation as it is and not rush or risk anything.”
The Nuggets wrap up the regular season April 13 against the Trail Blazers.
