It’s The Altitude and the Atitude
I always enjoy seeing the effects that the altitude plays on Denver opponents. I sat watching the Nuggets closing out the 3rd period of last nights playoff match-up against the Mavericks really strong. It was all over. The Nuggets played the 4th quarter to perfection, playing tenacious defense and running the basketball down the collective panting throats of the Mavs. It was brilliant and a vision of why the Nuggets are so very dangerous in the playoffs right now. When they move the ball, force it inside for easy shots it is a thing of beauty. It sets up the threes so well. The Nuggets outplayed the Mavs in the first two games. It goes back to Dallas and the going will be a bit tougher. if the Nuggets can steal one there it makes the Nuggets chances to advance very good.

Caption Contest Going Strong
The Contest is going great again this week. I encourage everyone to submit their entries early and often. And do me a favor. Tell two of your friends about the website and the contest. The more entries the funnier the contest.

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.
