I know the channel is relatively new, but I really thought they would show more than a couple games a week. Its supposed to be NBA TV, all they basically show is highlights all day and the occasional game.

Just a little rant. I do get to watched "Overhyped Matchup II", Lebron vs. Carmello right now, though.

Well, one of the two teams is worth watching. It's a shame that the Nuggets aren't going to be on national TV anywhere but NBATV the rest of the season.

If you are a fan of run and gun basketball with some high flying blocks thrown in, this is the team you need to be cheering for. They lead the league in fast break points, turnovers forced, and blocked shots.

This is some fun basketball!!!

Just finished watching the game. Denver is a lot fun to watch, not one of the better teams in the league yet, but they are very entertaining. Nene is getting better every game, Carmello is everything you could have expected, and Andre Miller is getting comfortable with things it seems.

I have to admit that I would rather watch Denver than a lot of the best teams in the league because of the simple fact that there is a good chance one of teams are going to score at least 100.

No, they aren't one of the better teams in the league yet. (though I don't expect them to lose more than 8-10 games in The Pepsi Center) this year.

They just bring it every night. Now that they are shooting the ball better (something around 48% over their last 5 games), they are going to only get better to watch.

This team, right now, is better than the team that beat Seattle in the playoffs. That doesn't mean they'll go to the playoffs this year (the west is tough) or that they'll continue to play this well the entire season. All I'm saying is that they are an entertaining bunch to watch. I have a feeling ESPN would rather be showing the next Nugget/Maverick game than a NY Knick/NJ Net contest. In terms of entertainment value it isn't even a close contest.
