who wins the next ship?

[in awe]

honestly, which team do you think will bring home the gold first and when?

[Dagmar]

Would seem that the Nuggs have the best chance. The Avs haven't shown they are championship material yet, and I still wanna see how we do in these 5 road matchs after the bye...

[ludo21]

Your on a football board so i hope the masses select the Broncos. They are having a fine year so far. Only time will tell which one will win it all is for sure.

[Hotrod]

No chiefs option ???

[in awe]

sorry to the bronco fans outside of denver, but Colorado has top sports teams everywhere so I had to throw this out there.

Oh and I forgot. It looks like the Rapids are close to winning a championship so lets just say after them.

[Nuggets4]

I want to know who the other two people besides me that voted the Nugs are.

[Hotrod]

I want to know who the other two people besides me that voted the Nugs are.

I almost pulled that trigger but did the Nuggets not lose a pretty good player for the season last night ???

Ha! I have not followed them since Kiki and Issle the Missle......Im getting the itch to check them out again.

[Pezman]

Sad as it is, I cant even consider the Avs as title contenders these days.

[in awe]

I want to know who the other two people besides me that voted the Nugs are.


I picked the nugz

Im guessing dag was the other

Well, this might be splitting hairs, but I wouldn't say they lost a "Good" player.

Although for all I care they can ship his ass back to Brazil. I'm more upset we won't be able to trade him anymore.

[RhymesayersDU]

Oh, and I voted for the boys in Powder Blue as well.

[Hotrod]

Well, this might be splitting hairs, but I wouldn't say they lost a "Good" player.

So they just lost 'their' Lenny Walls ;D

Im gonna have to check them out tonight.

[in awe]

um, why exactly are people putting down the avs. They lost Foote. Forsberg has barely been around the last few years so don't sweat him leaving.

Milan just came back from an injury and is playing lights out. And now after a weekend sweep of the Canuks they are not far from leading their division

I disagree, Nene is a monster

[Hotrod]

Well if the Nugs are gonna be as good as Im hearing I need to get on board the bandwagon before anyone notices I was missing :yep:

I wouldn't go as far to say their Lenny Walls...

Maybe their Ashley Lelie? I dunno, the problem is, he's a big strong guy, and as the old saying goes, you can't teach size. But everybody keeps talking about his potential and this and that, and he hasn't shown it yet. There's a pretty good split between Nugget Nation, a lot of people are big on him, confident that he's gunna be a good player, and many want him gone.

[BroncoMatt]

Who will win first?

Broncos in January

Av's in June
Nuggets in June ----toss up between Kroenke's kids as to who actually finishes first

[Dagmar]

From my reply (msg 2) you can see I picked the Nuggs aswell. The Broncos are awesome this season, but I'm still not confident we can beat the Colts, Steelers, Bengals... And I am still a bit wary of our road form....

[Alkazar]

The Rockies.

[BMF Bronco]

Dont forget the Colorado Crush! They won it last year, so the thought of a repeat isn't too outlandish

[Jens1893]

the nuggets have most of the pieces in place, but then there´s the spurs ... when pierre gets his shiat together and figures out the "new" nhl id say the avs are gonna bring home the next championship

[Dagmar]

The Rockies.

ROFL!

What's their QB's name. Tall gangly guy out of Nevada. eehhhh. dang. I remember thinking he might have a future. Looked awful at first, but the indoor league suits him cause he's got an arm but not too mobil.

Well they are legitimate contenders with Shaq and Wade alone and now they added some serious depth. When do the nuggets play the heat?

Wayyyyyyy too much love for the Nugs on this thread. And yes I consider 4 votes too many. Then again, I'm only 23 and I've already prepared myself for the fact that the Nugs will never win a title in my lifetime, so take it for what it's worth.

I'm just giving you a hard time. All I remember was somebody (I think you?) pimping the Heat so friggin' hard last year, guaranteeing championships, etc. In reality, they're gunna battle the Pistons for EC Championship again this year, and we'll see what happens.

Dude, I'm firmly convinced the franchise is cursed. Hell, we were by Moe and even though he said he lifted it, I think it's too late. The Curse of Big Jane will haunt us for a long time. Look at the injuries. Look at the rotten luck. I can count all of the times we've moved up in the NBA Draft Lottery on one finger. Even the Karl thing is a short term gain. I hope we can do it all in the next 2-3 years because soon Melo or K-Mart will go Spree on him and we'll drop down again.

Through it all though, I'll be cheering them on. ****, I still can probably name the entire '97 team that won less games than the Broncos that year.

Ah, I see. I'll be honest, I just became a Nugs fan when I started coming to school here, and before that I was just a fan of the game in general, with no real team... More a fan of just players and such. So I guess I don't really know the history.

Nontheless, you gotta believe that the Pistons taking Darko was some good luck for us, right?

[Clockwork Orange]

****, I still can probably name the entire '97 team that won less games than the Broncos that year.

Sadly, I think I can too. 11-71 and just barely escaping the stigma of the worst record in NBA history. Alan Bristow's push to generate cap space created one of the worst teams in NBA history. I never understood why he thought cap space was the way to go at that point seeing as back then Denver was running neck and neck with Siberia as far as desireable locations for NBA players.

Then Dan Issel comes in and spends a good chunk of that cap space to bring back the guy Bristow dumped to create the cap space (Antonio McDyess). Jesus, just thinking back on it is enough to drive a man to drink.

[Clockwork Orange]

Nontheless, you gotta believe that the Pistons taking Darko was some good luck for us, right?

That and the Camby/Nene for McDyess trade are the biggest breaks the Nuggets have had in a long time.

Of course now Nene is out for the season. I could weep.

[RhymesayersDU]

That's ridiculous. I agree with the Broncos in January, but the Avs I cannot comment on and the Nuggets will be one and done in the playoffs. West is way too deep and they are about the 8th best team in the conference.

The Rockets will probably follow suit, so dont think Im just donkin on your team, but San Antonio is gonna win the West and another championship this year unless something horribly drastic happens to Tim Duncan.

[RhymesayersDU]

You saying San Antonio isn't going to win it all?

Because I dont see anyone that can stop them.

[24champ]

Boy if the nuggets lose tonight we can take them off the poll.....

[RhymesayersDU]

You saying San Antonio isn't going to win it all?

Oh no, they're winning it all. But we're the 8th best team in the west? I'd like to hear the 7 teams ahead of us.

After tonights meltdown...uh i would hope the nuggets make the playoffs. Where was George Karl? I got home late and only caught the late part of the game.

[Clockwork Orange]

It's 2 games into the season. Not sure it's quite time to hit the panic button yet.

[RhymesayersDU]

Serving the 2nd game of his 2-game suspension.

Yeah, they played pretty poorly tonight. But I think they're gunna be a pretty good team this year. I at least expect them to win the division, although I would like to see Seattle play before really going out on that limb. Curious as to how they get along without Nate McMillan. Plus any team with KG will be at least decent, so Minnesota may be right there.

[ClevelandBronco2]

No Cup for the Avs this season. Who knows what next season will look like if Sakic and Blake are gone? Could be a gruesome rebuilding, though I have high hopes for some of the youngsters. My guess is that we won't see the Cup until after 2010.

Frankly, I've never been able to care about pro basketball, even though I tried. I worked for years in college basketball and it ruined my interest for the pro game. I'm clueless. If the Nuggets win the NBA championship it'll happen without me watching a single moment of it.

The Broncos are on the threshold. I thought they were still a year away, but, boy, was I wrong. The Colts are the only team they must beat. (Wouldn't it be great if some other team pulled a Jacksonville on them in the playoffs and knocked them out for us?)

As for the rest of the league, at this point, I just expect that they will beat enough of them on all the right occasions. The Broncos have a good shot this season and a great shot next year.

[Kaylore]

Why aren't the Rockies an option? ;D

[Rock Chalk]

Oh no, they're winning it all. But we're the 8th best team in the west? I'd like to hear the 7 teams ahead of us.
All 3 Texas teams, Sacramento, Phoenix...ok so you are the 6th best team in the West.

I recorded the Seattle game last night and watched it after the Nugs disaster. They're rough this year. Allen and Lewis are still as good as ever, but there are some rough spots in the post. I like Johan Petro, but he should NOT be starting for anyone.

[RhymesayersDU]

All 3 Texas teams, Sacramento, Phoenix...ok so you are the 6th best team in the West.
I'd argue that we're right there with Sacramento, and possibly Phoenix just because they have no Amare, but I'll concede the state of Texas.

I wouldn't. Dallas is overrated, despite what llama thinks. Houston should be better than us, but it depends on Skip To My Lou. If he plays like he did in Toronto, they'll struggle.

[Rock Chalk]

Swift, T-Mac and Yao are a great foundation and John Berry off the bench was phenomenal last night. Houston's bench is fairly deep.

You might be right about Dallas, but Dirk is a stud even if I hate his ass and with him you are going to have trouble no matter what team you are on. I think Dallas will be nearly as good as they were last year though I think the loss of Finley is going to be more noticeable than they think.

[Nuggets4]

Alec, I agree on Houston's foundation. Swift I'm not as sold on just because I would rather see Yao have a real banger down low next to him, something Swift can't do. One thing that helps the Nugs is that while the Rockets are playing San Antonio and Dallas extra times because they're in the same division, we're drawing Portland and Utah. That's a definite advantage for Denver.

Dallas still has no low post game. Erick Dampier? Come on. They're a good team, but not great.

[Meck77]

I would have selected Colorado Crush if they were on the poll. They are the defending champs and have a good chance of repeating. I know there wasn't alot of interest in Crush talk here last year but all I can say is it's a great time. The tailgate is top notch (Elway let's people tailgate for free at the front door of the pepsi center), the players and coaches come out to the tailgate, even The Duke himself comes out from time to time. The game is not NFL ball but make no mistake they hit just as hard and it's fun to watch. The cheerleaders are great also. A single seat to a game starts at 7 bucks.

Infact I'm getting ready to order season tix. Kickass lower level seats are only $180 bucks for the season if anyone is interested in putting together an omane/Crush section. DiscoMan, myself, and Buck (tailgate coordinator of Club Crush-500 members strong) will be sitting together. It's going to be fun.

(ok my colorado crush commercial is over)

Go Broncos!
Go Crush! (the season starts pretty soon!)
Go Nugs!

[Jens1893]

Alec, out of interest, why do you hate Nowitzki? Any personal reasons or just because he´s a decent player?

[Rock Chalk]

Alec, out of interest, why do you hate Nowitzki? Any personal reasons or just because he´s a decent player?
I dont know. I think its because he has that inbred European look, you know, like the Royal Families. That and he plays for Dallas and I hate all things Mavericks.

[Rock Chalk]

That's a definite advantage for Denver.

Swift played great last night against the Kings but what I saw out of Yao last night I hope to see a LOT more of and that is aggressiveness. Foul trouble hell, he had a monster block in the paint that led to 2 FB points for Berry untouched and unchased. He was fighting for rebounds both offensive and defensive, and that is something he hasn't done a lot of since coming to the NBA.

I think with T-Mac healthy, Yao, Swift and Juwan Howard back healthy Houston has as good a shot as any in Texas IMO. Not really sold on Skip to my Lou, but he did put the nail in the coffin last night with that three pointer.

Denver, man if Karl can get those guys to play together all year like they were later last year, they are gonna be tough but I just do not think they match up with either houston or San Antonio. If Dallas shoots like they did against us in the playoffs last year again, they wont need a low post game, they dont ****ing miss shots anyway!
