Statistically, Carmelo Anthony was the best player on the Denver Nuggets. So when the team’s best player (and on-court leader Chauncey Billups) gets shipped to the Big Apple, you would think the Nuggets might begin a slow and painful downward spiral. Somehow it seems the new look in Denver is more motivated than ever to win.
The Nuggets, with just nine players taking the court on Tuesday, defended their home court with an exciting 100-90 victory over the Atlanta Hawks. The win came in a team effort with five players scoring in double digits and no one scoring over 20 points, including Raymond Felton’s 15 and J.R. Smith’s 19 points.
The Nuggets are now 3-1 since the blockbuster trade that sent Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups to New York. They seem to be playing like a team and with new-found purpose. With the distractions of when and where Melo will go out of the picture, will George Karl be able to lead this new mix of players into the playoffs?

John Wall think DRose stinks
nice kicks pix. the Rose 1.5 toe box looks biiig. I hope this is not a deterrent to the shoe’s performance.
JAY Z!!!!!!!
nick young with some Kobe VI IDs……………….not East LAs, honest mistake
Jay Z looks like he had to do some construction work before he went to da game lol
Nice wc 3′s tho!
those are not east LAs.i like those Questions Wall has.
yeah i agree… those are not the east LAs. they look like some kobe ids
Jay Z needs to hit the gym…nice kicks though
Who needs to hit the gym if you got a wife like Beyonce? Not jayz
toe box looks even bigger on the 1.5s than it did on the original adizero rose. i also personally find the 1.5s a lot uglier. hope they revamp d-rose’s line for next season and start with a fresh look
Them Questions John Wall is wearin now are sick!!! And Jay-Z looks like he wearin some bummy cloths except for them retro 3′s.
Paul Millsap wearing the Haurache 2k4!?? so dope!
