I am a Nuggets fan. I have been since before their 17-win season that netted them Carmelo Anthony. I struggled through watching just about every game, because I love basketball and watching the young players develop over the course of the season.

I am disappointed to see Caron Butler as a DNP on the stat sheet night-in-night-out this season. I was looking forward to seeing Arenas come back from his knee injuries and otherwise. I wanted to see the Wizards do well this season - which I fully expected them to do, as one of the top 4 or 5 teams in the east.

I am upset I won't get to see another playoff battle between the Wizards and the Cavaliers - that match up has been one of the big highlights of the postseason for me in recent years, and I always root for the Wizards.

Heres to hoping the Wizards recoup from injuries and get back on the basketball map next year!

On another note, right now I believe the Nuggets are on the verge of looking like a contender - they have a lot to prove though, and are getting little consideration from the national media. What are your thoughts on this from over in the capitol city?
