Sports Sports Sports http://nuggetsticketsdenver.blogdrive.com/archive/6.html Mon, 24 Apr 2006 22:58:49 GMT Emotions were slightly mixed for the Los Angeles Clippers a day after their first postseason victory in 13 years. There was the good feeling that accompanies winning, of course. But there was also some discomfort that comes with blowing a 10-point lead in the last 4 minutes. “I’m not happy with the way we played late in the game. The last quarter, we were terrible,” said Chris Kaman, who had 15 points and 13 rebounds in the Clippers’ 89-87 victory over the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. The Clippers were outscored 21-13 in the final period, shooting 3-of-10 and being outrebounded...

Anthony, who becomes the first Nugget to earn Player of the Month honors since Fat Lever in April of 1988, averaged 29.9 ppg on .549 shooting from the field as the Nuggets went 11-5 in March. He topped the 30-point mark 10 times, including three 35-plus point efforts (vs. Memphis, at Boston and at New York). Anthony helped the Nuggets achieve their best seven-game road trip in franchise history (5-2) and hit his fourth game-winning shot this season, at Indiana on March...

There will be 25 invitations handed out Sunday. But there are just 12 spots available for this summer's World Championships. "Training camp will be fun," Anthony said of the July event in Las Vegas. "At the same time, it's going to be competitive." Regardless of whether he makes the World Championships, Anthony will remain in a pool of players for the 2008 Olympics. Anthony would like to make up for the 2004 Olympics, when he played little. "If I get another chance, it will...

The teams play the first of a home-and-home set this evening. The Clippers will host the Nuggets on Saturday at the Staples Center. This is the second meeting of the season between the clubs. On November 25th, Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points on 11-of-17 shooting to lead the Nuggets over the Clippers, 105-95, at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets have won three straight and four of the last five meetings in this series. The Clippers have...

Maybe it's his crooked smile, hangdog look and occasionally cracking voice. Or maybe it's simply his uncanny resemblance to the late comedian-actor Richard Pryor. Whatever the reason, Denver Nuggets point guard Andre Miller has a way of keeping his teammates loose as they seek comic relief during the course of an 82-game stress test. "He's a different cat, let me put it like that," Nuggets center Marcus Camby said. "I've never been around someone like him. He's...

When they acquired Kenyon Martin in the summer of 2004, they were looking for a running mate for Carmelo Anthony. The 1-2 punch was in its full glory against Toronto on Monday, with Anthony scoring a game-high 37 points and Martin adding 25 points and 12 rebounds in Denver’s 107-101 win. “That’s what they’re supposed to do,” guard Andre Miller said. “Competitive players, scorers, rebounders — they’re a big part of why we play the way we play.” Injuries have kept them from producing many games like...
