The Denver Nuggets have “The
Answer” but not to these two questions:
Are they now strong enough
to contend in the powerful Western Conference? Did they mortgage their future
for a current team that still lacks the talent to win a
title?
They swapped one of the
steadiest and most talented point guards in the league (Andre Miller) for
arguably the NBA's premier backcourt player in Allen Iverson. They also
surrendered both first-round picks in 2007 and veteran forward Joe
Smith.
More questions: Though the
Nuggets now boast the NBA’s two leading scorers in Iverson and Carmelo
Anthony, have they reached the upper echelon along with San Antonio, Phoenix and
Dallas? And when
will their window of opportunity close? After all, Iverson is an 11-year veteran
who will likely not perform at peak level for many more
seasons.

The physical war was over,
but the verbal battle had just begun Monday.
After the combatants from
the brawl between Denver and New York on
Saturday night at Madison Square Garden had been suspended, the accusations
began to fly.
The chief accuser was
Nuggets coach George Karl, who blames Knicks counterpart Isiah
Thomas for precipitating the incident.
“He’s full of (crap),” Karl
fumed to the Rocky Mountain News. “He’s a total (butt) hole and he should
be held accountable for what his actions are.
“There’s no question in my
mind it was premeditated. It was directed by
Isiah.”
Thomas accused Karl of
running up the score by keeping his starters in the game despite holding a
19-point lead with just over a minute remaining.

The Los Angeles Lakers got off on the right foot on their toughest stretch of the season Tuesday night with a 102-94 win in Houston.
Unfortunately, Lamar Odom landed on the wrong foot. Or at least he landed awkwardly after Shane Battier blocked his shot. The result was a sprained knee that will keep the talented power forward sidelined for at least a month.
Odom, averaging 18.4 points and 9.1 rebounds a game, had been a tremendous complement to Kobe Bryant in the Lakers' rise to the top of the Pacific Division. |

If Isiah Thomas the coach brings the same results as Isiah Thomas the general manager, the New York Knicks might embark on the first winless season in NBA history. Not that this team is devoid of talent. It's just that it is like a jigsaw puzzle with no interlocking pieces. Nothing seems to fit. And no one seems to care. Don't bet a week's wages on that changing this year. Perhaps Thomas can succeed developing a strong chemistry, at which Larry Brown failed miserably last season. But it appears this is just a discombobulated collection of high-priced players, many of whom seem more interested in their own statistics than increasing the number on the left side of the won-lost column. The most glaring members of The Me-First Club are guards Stephon Marbury and Steve Francis, one-time NBA stars who would be buried in obscurity if they weren't performing in the Big Apple. Players such as Marbury, Francis, promising Channing Frye, Jamal Crawford, Eddy Curry, Jared Jeffries, Nate Robinson and Jalen Rose have enough ability to form a respectable club. But nothing in recent history indicates the Knicks will meld into a cohesive, team-oriented unit. Key additions: F Jeffries Key subtractions: F Qyntel Woods
