Let's start off with bad news, Markieff has a sore knee for a little bit giving him a -10 on the OVR. But hey, it happens. So time to tip off in Orlando for the season opener against Denver who has already suffered their first loss. The first quarter was close until our starting five was subbed out, after which the Nuggets went on a 14-5 run to finish out the quarter leaving the score at 33-25. Powered by a 7-0 run to start the second quarter, things looked nice. However things turned out grim, until Mo Harkless turned on the jets in his NBA debut. Harkless went for 16 in the second quarter alone, but the score was still 65-63 with the Nuggets in the lead at the half. As I clicked, "SIM TO END OF GAME", I knew things wouldn't turn out well. We did lose, but only by nine so I guess there is something to take away from that. Harkless finished with 26, Nelson 19, Harris 14, and Afflalo 14. No true outstanding performances as even the Nuggets didn't have one guy above 20 points. Moving on with an 0-1 record to the Phoenix Suns, we will be looking for our first 'W'.
