Denver Nuggets Face Chris Paul and the Hornets
Apr 18th
The Denver Nuggets are now preparing for their first round playoff series against the New Orleans Hornets. I think this is going to be a great series to watch, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes back and forth. Chris Paul is one of the most dangerous players in the game, and if he gets hot the Hornets will be hard to stop.

I expect to see some big performances out of Chauncey Billups, Nene Hilario, Chris “Birdman” Andersen, and Kenyon Martin during this series. They will have to step up big time defensively. The regular season match-ups were split, with 2 wins each for the Nuggets and Hornets. Hopefully the Nuggets will finally be able to get out of the first round without Dikembe Mutumbo.

The Colorado Rockies are playing Manny Ramirez and the Los Angeles Dodgers tonight. The Rockies are 4-4 and have not looked great, but are coming off a nice 5-2 win over the Chicago Cubs. If the Rockies want to have a chance against the Dodgers they will need some improved pitching. Jorge De La Rosa had a terrible opening game against the Philadelphia Phillies, giving up 5 runs in 4 innings. Huston Street will also have to learn how to close a game if the Rockies want to pull this one off.

Colorado Rockies Get Revenge Against Cubs
Apr 16th
The Colorado Rockies got revenge against the Chicago Cubs yesterday, beating them 5-2. It was very nice to see the Rockies get some hits after their 4-0 trouncing against the Cubs earlier this season. Former Cub Jason Marquis pitched well for the Rockies, something Cub’s fans didn’t seem to appreciate as they constantly booed him. I’m glad he is with the Rockies now, and a win against the Cubs must have felt good for him. If the Rockies continue to play like this then we may end up having two playoff teams in Colorado. It is never too early for optimism!

The Denver Nuggets got their butts handed to them by the Portland Trailblazers last night 76-104, not a good way to go into the playoffs. I would have much preferred a win so we could go into the playoffs with a little momentum, but it was not to be. Carmelo Anthony had a very poor shooting night and finished with only 12 points. Chauncey Billups played well as usual but it was not enough. The Nuggets still have home court advantage, and will be playing the New Orleans Hornets in the first round. I think this is a winnable series and should provide some exciting games, but the Nuggets will definitely have to play better than they did against Portland.

Cubs Crush Colorado Rockies
Apr 14th
Well the first Colorado Rockies game I saw this season did not go very well. The Rockies lost 4-0 to the Chicago Cubs earlier today, and I have to say the Rockies did not put up much of a fight. You know it was a bad game when the offensive highlight is Garett Atkins’ single. He didn’t have much competition for Colorado Rockies play of the game considering that was the only hit we got.

While this game didn’t go well, it is still very early on in the season and I’m hopeful that the Rockies can step up and maybe even make another playoff run this season. Mostly I just want Todd Helton to be healthy. He is the heart and soul of the Colorado Rockies. For now though, we all look to the Denver Nuggets for some post-season glory.
