Last night’s Nuggets-Rockets game showed you how important a quality head coach is. The Nuggets were without George Karl (who was receiving cancer treatment), and without him they made a ton of uncharacteristic mistakes you don’t see the Nuggets make. These mistakes ended up costing the Nuggets the game.

Ty Lawson doubts he will play tonight, 3/1/2010. Nuggets rookie guard Ty Lawson suffered a bruised left shoulder Sunday against the Lakers and said he doubts he will play tonight against the Suns in Phoenix. "I pump-faked Andrew Bynum and jumped into him and got fouled," Lawson said. "He put all his weight on me; 300 pounds is 300 pounds."

"We're still inconsistent at times," Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin said. "If we can lock in and just do the stuff we can do and learn from the mistakes we make, that can go a long way."

"I'm just trying to find a good rhythm shooting, and I got to thank my teammates for that,"

An NBA source said the Denver Nuggets made a failed run at acquiring seldom-used center Aaron Gray from the Bulls.

Marc Stein, ESPN.com | Stein's picks "Living up to last season's everything-went-right script ain't going to be easy. But I have to say that I'm surprised to hear how many folks see the Nuggets as one-hit wonders. Still the class of the Northwest Division to me."

We really should have drafted DeJuan Blair. He absolutely killed last night 16 points and 19 rebounds. I wouldn't mind havin him rebounding for the Nuggets this postseason.

It seems like every NBA team website is posting videos of media day and camp - except Denver. Where is the PR department? Is there a PR department?
