Scattered Ashes
Nuggets 102 - Bucks 108Look, it would be fun to make poetry and alliteration and nonsense of all of these, but sometimes you're team is just tired and it's the last game in a long road trip and you're playing the night after a thriller in another city and who the fuck are the Milwaukee Bucks anyways?
And that's basically how the Nugs lost this game. You can't say they were unprepared because so far this season no one was been ready for the Bucks and their rookie point guard/all-world baller Brandon Jennings. Denver spit and scraped to stay close in this game (and damn near tied it many, many times in the fourth if not for some bad breaks, a great sign for their future that a team so tired refuses to die quietly under any circumstances), but Jennings came up huge in the fourth and put the win away for the suddenly strutting Bucks. So, in honor of his great performance, and the even better one that he would have few nights later when he would drop 55 on the Warriors, consider this post a links dump for some of the fantastic dialogue around the b-ball internet these past few days (also, don't be afraid to check out some of these blogs on their own. They are much more consistent, mature and rasoned than I am, proof that fanatacism is one of the quickest roads to madness). Because we all know the Nugs are the leads over here, but it's nice to know some of the other actors.
