Denver loses back-to-back; we can believe again

Image1_medium

That extra loss that Golden State needed from Denver in order to get into the playoffs? Well they got it. Marcus Camby is a great defensive player, but his impact on the team clearly isn't that big. Last night, Denver lost 151-147 in double overtime... to the Sonics! Kevin Durant: 37 points, Luke Ridnour: 19 points, Earl Watson: 16 points, Nick Collison: 19 points, Jeff Green: 14-21 with 35 points.

If the Nuggets don't make the playoffs, I don't want to hear any complaining that "Denver should be in because they'd have home court if they were in the East." That's no excuse. This team just played a back-to-back with the 36-win Kings and the 18-win Sonics. If they win both those games, they're ahead of the Warriors by two games with the tiebreaker, with five games to play. If this team can't handle Jeff Green and Mikki Moore, how are they going to stop Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol?

Now for the Warriors, they really need Mickael Pietrus back. The whole reason they went out and signed Chris Webber was because this team has no depth at all. Pietrus was playing great before getting injured, and without him the W's have pretty much become the Phoenix Suns. Against the Hornets, Golden State only played six people. That's not enough bodies to make it through April.
