| Denver Nuggets News: |
| As a young player in Philadelphia, Allen Iverson sulked over a bad performance one night and was pulled to the side by veteran Harvey Grant.
"That was one of the worst games I've ever played in my life," Iverson said. Grant was unfazed. "Young fella," Grant said, "don't worry about it, because you're going to have plenty more." Iverson has never forgotten that advice. And as he closes in on his 12th NBA season, he's had to refer to it all over again to erase the memory of his last time on the court. That was in the NBA playoffs last season against San Antonio, and Iverson admits it was the worst series he has played as a pro. As he enters this season, it is a motivating factor for him to play well and get back to the playoffs, but he insists he has not let it linger. "It's big because it's never happened to me before," Iverson said. "I never had a series where I played that bad. It just makes you look forward to the next one. I was fortunate enough to get back into the playoffs after having not been there a couple years. "And then to get there and to not play the way I'm capable of playing, it was frustrating. Especially the games that I've had against San Antonio. I pretty much, throughout my career, do pretty much whatever I want to do against those guys." |

| Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.
Saturday at the Pepsi Center, that phrase, the oath of the Special Olympics, was printed on the backs of all the bright yellow tee-shirts being worn throughout the arena. Over 150 Special Olympic athletes, each wearing his or her own yellow shirt, participated in this years Denver Nuggets/Special Olympics Basketball Clinic on November 20.The entire Nuggets team was on hand for the community event, making them the only NBA franchise to have every player and every coach take part in a single event with the Special Olympics. This is the second consecutive year that the Nuggets have put on this special one-of-a-kind clinic. The oft-heard loser's lament is normally sour grapes more than anything else. But in the chase for the Western Conference's last playoff spot, luck really could be the difference. If the Los Angeles Lakers squeeze into the West's final playoff spot ahead of the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves, they can chalk it up to Lady Luck as much as their own skill. The Lakers have been fighting to stay alive in a tight three-way chase for the No. 8 seed. Competing for the "prize" of getting smacked around like a piata by the San Antonio Spurs, the Lakers are in a three-way race with the Nuggets and the Timberwolves. Nevertheless, the Lakers are fortunate even to be in this position. Based on points scored and points allowed, Minnesota's margin is more than a hundred points better than L.A.'s. Yet the two are in a dead heat in the standings. How could this be? It turns out that the Lakers have been unusually fortunate in close games, going 13-8 in contests decided by five or fewer points. Conversely, they're 8-17 when the final margin is 10 or more. That explains how they've stayed at .500 despite giving up 73 points more than they've scored this year. What the Lakers are doing is uncommon since a team with their scoring record normally would be 28-35, not 32-32. This can be illustrated with a tool I call Expected Wins, which describes the correlation between victory margin and wins. |
