How about a little love for the Denver Nuggets?

Burdened with a road-heavy early-season schedule, Denver stumbled out of the blocks before getting things together. Now, in the second half of the season the Nuggets have hit their stride – 4 straight wins and 14 victories in an 18-game span that is noted for bookend victories over Oklahoma City.

It is Martin Luther King Day, the unofficial midway point of the NBA season, and the Los Angeles Lakers are dragging ass.

A team with Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Steve Nash and Pau Gasol is 6 games under water (17-23) and showing absolutely no signs of making any move that would enable them to escape the humiliation of having to share a platform with the have-nots at the NBA Lottery ceremony this coming June.
