The Nuggets are on the ropes. Whatever events that have transpired to get them to this pint the question now is can they stop the free fall? What will they have to do to turn this all around and prepare for the playoffs. Here’s a new poll. Perhaps we can find some answers there.
Never too late for a forecast. This was in the November Mile High Sports Magazine (still on the newsstands)

We’ve begun production on the first ever Drew Litton wall calendars. My wife, Marcia, is helping input the events and I’m working on choosing the images. We’re doing a super cool calendar with dates for all of the major sports events of 2010 plus cartoons for every month. We weren’t able to get the daily desk calendars done. I just don’t have the financial resources right now to make that happen. This calendar is really an experiment. If it goes well then we will start to do a lot more merchandise in 2010 including a new book. So you can help me out by telling all your friends about the Drew Litton calendar (not to mention this blog). The more people who know about it the better. I’m also exploring doing a few Christmas Craft shows but I’m not sure about that yet. If any one has any ideas about that, I’m all ears. If there is any other merchandise you would like to see made available for this Holiday season feel free to let me know. You might remember a poll we ran back in September. It was a big help.

Haven’t I seen that guy before?
That Referee looked familiar. Wait a minute…
The least David Stern could have done was wear a disguise. Remember you heard this here first…If the series goes to 7 games don’t be surprised to see Jack Nicholson starring in a new role..as an NBA Referee. Hey, it could happen.
Never let ‘em see ya sweat
Or so the story goes. But you better believe David Stern is feeling a little nervous about now. His “Dream Team” match-up of Kobe vs. LeBron is about to go up in smoke. We’ll know pretty soon if the fix is on if suddenly the Cavs come back and Kobe finds a teammate to help him do anything on the court. Me? I’m pulling for the big upsets. It’s so much more fun that way.
I like this internet thing
This is one of those cartoons that might not have made it in print, but here, well the time was just right for this gag. The Nuggets dominated game 4 of the Western Conference Finals and evened the series. The Nuggets were ferocious on the boards all night. The difference between these two teams and the reason why I think the Nuggets will win this thing. The Bench. The Lakers simply don’t have one. The Birdman was his usually electric self, flying often into the rafters for rebounds and causing chaos with those flailing arms…uh…wings of his. It’s a sight to behold ain’t it? Go ahead Nuggets fans…Tell me all about it. Leave your comments below…
Steve From Summit Graphic Studios Scores Upset!
We had great response this week with 127 entries and I have to tell you it was tough. We really could have had 10 winners at least. This weeks runner ups are:

“Don’t look now but I think Vince McMahon is dressed up as a ref…”
and
Phil said:
“Yes Mello, Kobe IS your father.”
Three quick notes:
First I’m running behind on my mailings, so forgive me. I’ll be getting them out tomorrow.
Next Our winners need to e-mail their address, t-shirt size and their preference for sketches to me at sportoonz@gmail.com.
and Last Several of you caught my mistake on the Birdman’s number. Player numbers and I have had a rough history. I can’t tell you how many times I put Kobe in a number 8 jersey (his old number) only to have one of our copy editors catch it. (He was a Lakers fan). My bad. I fixed it in this copy. In golf they call that a Mulligan. have a great weekend. Wow Nuggets!!
Nuggets report stolen game.
The Nuggets had the Lakers right where they wanted them. Against the ropes, down for the count and they let ‘em up just long enough to give ‘em life. This puts the Nuggets in a pressure cooker on Thursday night. They know they have to get one back. It won’t be easy, but the Nuggets did show that the Lakers are in for a tussle. Thank goodness for the WWE afterall.
Don’t forget the Caption contest
Great entries so far. I hope you guys have as much fun writing them as I do reading them. I can tell this week it’s going to be tough to pick a winner.
So, what do you all think of game one? Observations? Coaching advice? Kidnap Kobe? Let me know!
Don’t know if your living room or den looks like this, but , hey, it’s a place to start. Tomorrow night most of Denver will be glued to their sets. Lakers fans, not so much. They have a way of kind of looking down on the Nuggets. Who can blame them. The Nuggets have been at the bottom of the barrel for so long most people forgot they were still in it.
Lets here some predictions Nuggets fans?

Laker’s it is. Bring ‘em on. Give ‘em a taste of the Birdman and Billups (sounds like a sitcom doesn’t it?). Let Melo make mincemeat of ‘em I say. Just get it going already.
No matter how much you are enjoying this Nuggets run I think everyone would agree with me that it takes too long to get to this point. An 8 month season followed by 4 months of playoffs. Or so it seems.
It should be a fun one. And, really I can’t complain. It gives me something other then the Rockies to draw about.
Friends
I spent some time over the weekend with some dear friends I have not seen in awhile. My neighbors before we moved were the greatest people in the world. Larry and Linda Kapke’s daughter, Laura, graduates next weekend and they had a party for her. Rick and Susie O’ Keefe, the folks who lived right next door me at the time, hosted the party. Tim and Catherine Kubik were there as well. These people are some of the dearest most loving people on the planet. It was great to see them again. If you haven’t seen or heard from an old friend, call them. Or better yet, go see them and give them a hug. It will do you both some good.
