Oh Great! Just What this Struggle Needed

(Boulder-CO) At first J.R. Smith was optimistic about his injured knee. Now ESPN.com is reporting that J.R. will miss the next three to four weeks with torn cartilage in his left knee.

With AI seemingly healthy again, ‘Melo playing some of the best basketball of his young career, Nene emerging as a beast in the middle, and Camby finally back this couldn’t have come a worse time. Chemistry problems have been plaguing this team since, well, forever and now Coach George Karl will have another rubics cube for a roster to twist and turn. Only this time, along with all the other puzzles to be solved, he will have to find a perimeter scorer to replace J.R. now that he will miss the next three to four weeks with torn cartilage in his left knee.

Go ahead and let all your expletives out now because this may just be the kind of bad omen that predicates a complete breakdown for the Nuggets. They have all the excuses, (injuries, suspensions, and trade shake-ups) that anyone could have foreseen and if a team is only as good as its last showing… The Nuggets are on a one way ticket to nowhere, FAST!
