Denver Nuggets – Page 58

Anthony Randolph 19 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2014)

Anthony Randolph is in the doghouse. Again. For all this guy’s potential, he simply can’t find a team that will play him regular minutes. Every time he gets traded, that team’s fanbase thinks that they will be the ones to unlock his gifts and turn him into a good player. And every time they are…

J.J. Hickson 21 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (1/13/2014)

Here we are again. J.J. Hickson is starting at center for yet another team, despite being pretty much a perfect power forward. He has everything you want out of that position: midrange game, rebounding, and the ability to work on the block. At 6’9, he is also extremely undersized. Meanwhile, the Nuggets’ actual starter at…

Evan Fournier 16 Points/1 Poster Dunk Full Highlights (1/13/2013)

Evan Fournier has put together a nice string of games recently. It’s good to see a promising rookie improve year over year. I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but he’s definitely the next Manu Ginobili, minus the bald spot. He just needs to get more comfortable taking more shots. His three-point stroke is…

Evan Fournier 18 Points Full Highlights (1/11/2014)

The Nuggets have been tearing it up lately. Annihilating people on offense, not playing defense but who cares, and playing good team basketball. Everyone is contributing. Even Quincy Miller is contributing. I can only imagine the good vibes happening in the locker room. No, not like that. Evan Fournier’s recent upswing in play has coincided…

Randy Foye 23 Points/5 Assists/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/7/2014)

Here’s a rule that I came up with: if a player shoots below 40% over the course of a full season in the modern NBA, even if it’s just once in a career, they can no longer be considered a “good” player. No matter what their accomplishments are in other areas of the game, they…

Jusuf Nurkic 14 Points/4 Blocks Full Highlights (1/4/2015)

Here’s what I’ve found out about Europeans in the course of writing descriptions and witnessing the fallout from them: They don’t like it when you say anything negative about their country, even in jest. I mean, as an American, I see people dissing the country I live in all the time. And I don’t care,…

Timofey Mozgov 20 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (1/5/2014)

The discussion of Russian basketball players begins and ends with Arvydas Sabonis, a player who would have been Shaq-esque had he come over to the US in his prime. But wait! Sabonis is actually Lithuanian, and only played for the Soviet Union because, at that time, Lithuania was part of the USSR! So really, the…

Timofey Mozgov 16 Points/2 Blocks Full Highlights (1/3/2014)

“Evan, why you look sad? We won game!” Evan looked up at his hulking Russian teammate and sighed. “It’s just, I heard Andre talking about how he’s going to treat his woman to a night on the town, and it reminded me that I do not have a girl to call my own.” Confused, Timofey…

Wilson Chandler 17 Points Full Highlights (12/9/2013)

75-74. The final score of the Wizards-Nuggets game. I watched a little bit but turned it off because it was pretty much unwatchable. Lucky for me I did, because the beginning of the game was an offensive explosion compared to the second half. Though there was a pleasing lack of free throws, which always annoy…
