Nuggets Extend Winning Streak to 15

George Karl didn't sound like the coach of a Denver team on a streak not seen in 43 years. He sounded like a coach ready to shake things up in the final weeks before the playoffs.

Moments after his Nuggets beat the Sacramento Kings 101-95 on Saturday night for their 15th straight win, Karl was lamenting his players' second straight lackluster performance.

"What I've been telling the team, telling them for three days, the next (11) games I don't want to hear about rest. I don't want to hear we're tired. I want our attitude to be the best basketball we've played all year," he said. "And if you don't want to do that, then I'll play somebody else. I don't want to hear about my body hurts. I'm sore. Everybody plays the same amount of games, and resting's not going to get us ready for the opportunities.

"If we had a bunch of 30-year-olds, I might have a different opinion but we have a bunch of 25-year-olds."


Can they catch the Heat?

I think the Nuggets may win a couple more, but they will not catch the Heat, let alone the LA Lakers.

Most people are forgetting the nuggets' streak, and only wowing over the heat's. They don't have a superstar like LBJ or Kobe. I think they'll lose the streka to the spurs.
