Chauncey Billups Carries Nuggets Past Hornets
Apr 20th
Chauncey Billups lived up to the name Mr. Big Shot yesterday. He sank 8 three pointers as the Denver Nuggets absolutely dominated the New Orleans Hornets 113-84. Chris Paul played well for the Hornets with 21 points and 11 rebounds, but things fell apart in the third quarter. Chauncey became absolutely unstoppable, hitting 4 three’s and starting the Nuggets on a 21-0 run that would last into the 4th quarter. J.R. Smith contributed 10 straight points at the beginning of the 4th quarter and Chris “Birdman” Andersen had 5 blocks. All in all, I couldn’t think of a better way to start the series.

While the Nuggets were dominating the Colorado Rockies were being dominated. In the last game of a 3 game series, the Rockies fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers 14-2. Matt Kemp was the batting MVP for the Dodgers with a solo home run and a grand slam. I would pick an MVP for the Rockies but I can’t think of one right now and I would rather focus on the Nuggets victory. Coming up next for the Rockies are the Arizona Diamondbacks, so hopefully this losing streak will be brought to a halt.
I may be mad at the Rockies but Todd Helton is still the man

Manny Ramirez’s Home Runs Beat Rockies
Apr 19th
The Colorado Rockies once again fell to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Manny Ramirez and Andre Ethier each hit two home runs to lead the dodgers to a 9-5 victory. Aaron Cook pitched poorly for the Rockies and gave up 5 runs in 4 innings. The Rockies are playing the Dodgers for the third time today to hopefully take one game from this three game series.

Make sure all you Denver sports fans tune in tonight for the first game in the Denver Nuggets vs. New Orleans Hornets playoff series. Honestly, this series could go either way, but I think the Nuggets have more depth than the Hornets. The Nuggets have players like Chris Andersen coming off the bench to provide a spark, whereas the Hornets will be relying on Chris Paul to play well. The flip side is Chris Paul almost always plays very well. Tune into TNT and watch it tonight!

Colorado Rockies Fall to Dodgers Comeback
Apr 18th
Colorado Rockies, you have disappointed me. You scored 3 runs in the first inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but then gave up 4 runs in the seventh. Everything in between was good, and I have to say that Jorge De La Rosa pitched a better game than I was expecting. Once again, the Rockies couldn’t close, but for once it wasn’t Huston Street giving up the big play. The Rockies play the Dodgers again today, so maybe we can get a lead and hold on to it this time.

In better news for Colorado sports, the Colorado Mammoth and Gavin Prout beat the Edmonton Rush 10-9. With this win, the Mammoth scored themselves a playoff spot. This was a back and forth game all the way through, although I was surprised the Mammoth did not win by more. They took 12 more shots on goal than the Rush, but in the end, a win is a win and a playoff berth is nothing to frown at.

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.
The Nuggets will have to stop Chris Paul
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.
