Well I decided to blog about something a little different today. The National Basketball Association (NBA to Americans) is winding up its season and it looks like it's going to be a great playoffs. My hometown team the Denver Nuggets seemed to limping into the playoffs after losing their two top scores, but last night they sent the rest of the league a message, and that was 'WE ARE NOT BACKING DOWN!"
It was a breath of fresh air to see a team that is young and talented, challenged by adversity, come through and deliver an old-fashioned beat down on the Houston Rockets. You could feel the energy and excitement in the air as each and every dunk was thrown down with authority. Everyone played with an intensity and passion sorely lacking on the more 'talented' teams, and it paid off!
The 'Energizer Bunny' Corey Brewer came off the bench and literally ran around at full steam, like a chicken with his head cut off, making every play possible. Javelle MaGee took every opportunity to put as many Houston Rockets in personal photos that he could, while his smaller counterpart Kenneth Faried soared through the air as usual. The crafty 'YMCA' veteran Andre Miller played like nobody was in front of him as the eyes in the back of his head paid big dividends. All in all that was one of the most enjoyable games I have seen in recent history as the Nuggets routed the Rockets 132-114.
