Good ol' fashioned smackdown


I was down at Old Chicago last night during the Nuggets/Sonics game when I looked up and saw that the score was 120-something to 80-something. It looked like the game was about to end and the Nuggs were well in control, so I headed to the restroom.

When I came back, I was shocked that the next quarter had began.

168 points.

168 points in regulation.

I'm not a big fan of chat lingo, but WTF?!

Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago when the Nuggets broke the NBA season high for points in a game with 138 (also against Seattle)? Who goes out and beats their best by 30?

In that first game against Seattle, Denver won by 42 points. This one: 52.

I'm expecting a 200-point performance by the Nuggets when the two teams meet on April 6. Oh, and they're going to win by 62 this time — led by Taurean Green's 32-point career game.

It blows my mind that this team — who are on pace for 50 wins — are in ninth in the West. They'd be fourth in the East. Guh.
