Denver Nuggets up to second place in the West

Since Allen Iverson is out of the Denver Nuggets, the Colorado franchise is a very to consider ahead of the playoffs. And before there was too much ego on that computer (note if Iverson's statements yesterday) But since the arrival of Chauncey Billups can not help the Nuggets to one side.

In fact, tonight, thanks to victory over a direct rival as the Utah Jazz, the Nuggets have advanced to the second place in the Western Conference with 50 wins for 26 losses. Much of the credit for this last game, the Nuggets won for the 114-104, it was JR Smith, who participated in the Slam Dunk contest last AllStar, scoring 8 of 13 shooting triples, a career-high.

Apparently, the future was written, as the Denver Nuggets had never lost to a team that had lost six of their last seven games away from home (Statistics from the NBA, a world to discover).

The Nuggets have become much to consider, although it problabe on the way, before reaching hypothetical Conference finals, they were crossing a tough nut to crack as the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs, leaving his options most depleted (with San Antonio you can never be trusted, is the best team in the last decade).

The surprising note of the day put the defeat of the Cleveland Cavaliers, the NBA's best team today, the Washington Wizards, led by Gilbert Arenas had 11 points and 10 assists. The Wizards are the second worst team in the NBA.
