At the moment, Danilo Gallinari is the closest thing the Nuggets have to a star player, which really says something about their roster construction. With him slumping hard to start the season, the Nuggets could replace neither his scoring nor his gelled-up fauxhawk, so they slumped along with him.
This is the first good game for Gallo since he came back from a bout with EKS (Exploded Knee Syndrome). Surprise of surprises, with him not bricking every shot, the Nuggets got a win. Now if somebody would just walk up to him and fix his chubby, smug face with a few well-timed slaps, then all will be right with the world.
