Nuggets are on a Roll
And so it goes, on and on and on. The Mavericks looked positively baffled at the end of the game, and the Nuggets looking more like the cat who just wolfed the canary. It was a full day at the drawing board, working on tweaks to the website, a new cartoon for 9News, a Nuggets cartoon for drewlitton.com and a syndicated one for United Features as well. I absolutely dispel any myths about cartoonists who spend the day on the golf course. I hope you enjoy the changes we are making to make things a little more fun here on the blog. It will probably be Wednesday before you notice any changes.

TGIF: Bird Watchers Cartoon Caption Contest
The Nuggets are hot and so are all you caption writers. Last weeks contest was our best ever. Let’s make this one as good as that 58 point Nuggets crushing of the Hornets in game 4. Here’s our rules: Keep the caption clean and keep them original. We’ll give out the prizes like last week. The Winner gets the original cartoon with their caption, a t-shirt and a Birdzilla sketch ( or an Elway if you prefer). Two runner-ups get a free t-shirt and a Birdzilla or an Elway sketch.

A Few Tweaks coming your way.
I’ll be working with my webmaster extraordinaire, Steve Foster, this weekend to add a few bells and whistles to the site. Hopefully you’ll like the extra features even though they are nothing major. And be sure to be parked in front of your sets on Sunday afternoon as the Nuggets take on Dallas. I’ll have a cartoon up late Sunday night in time for your cup of coffee and a sports cartoon on Monday morning. It’s almost as good as sleeping in.

Amazing what a difference a year can make
Gone are the sullen days of Allen Iverson. Behind Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony, with contributions from Birdzilla and J.R. Smith the Nuggets disposed of the Hornets and cruised into round Two of the NBA playoffs. Finally, the long drought for the Nuggets is over. The Hanzlik, and Issel eras are only vanishing visions in the rear view mirror. And, more importantly, Melo has learned how to win. I’ve been pretty rough on Melo through the years. But I’m glad to see him take this team into the second round. The Nuggets are the team nobody wants to play. Hang on. It might be a nice long fun ride.

Caption Contest winding down
This week’s caption contest is coming to a close. We’ll take entries until 6 p.m. tonight. So run, hurry, and write lots of captions. The more you enter the better your chances.

The Nuggies are Hot, Hot Hot
Hornets beware. The Exterminator is on the loose. The Nuggets looked invincible in their second win over New Orleans in the first round of the playoffs. The Nuggets are EXACTLY the kind of team that NOBODY wants to play right now. They are maturing and gaining confidence every time down the floor. This is a Nuggets team unlike any we have seen. Strong off the bench, every player willing to play their roll, and, dare I say it, playing defense. Let me hear you out there. Can the Nuggets do it?

Caption Contest
Don’t forget we have the caption contest for the week wrapping up today at 6. Be sure to get those entries in.

Thanks for the Get Wells
Thanks to everyone for their well wishes and Dr. Lori Leopold for the antibiotics and cough syrup. Feeling better all the time. It couldn’t get much worse. (Of course it can, but I had to go for the Beatles lyric.)

Looks as though the seas have gotten a bit stormy for the Nuggets the last few weeks. Why does it always seem that they just fall apart this time of year? Almost makes you wish the Rockies season would start already.

Today’s question:
What must the Nuggets do to get back on track?
