Marlow's Cleverness

After the one snitch I figured I would try and update my out of staters on the newest and bestest phrases of Colorado's very own Altitude reporters, Scott Hastings and Chris Marlow.

• JR Smith has never really gotten a nickname this year, last year their was a fierce debate as to whether he should be called the toaster oven, microwave oven, or any other clever name having to do with a warming machine. I like to call JR Smith "Spaz" because that's just him and if you watch him, 80% of the time I'm not sure he knows what hes doing but no matter because hes gonna do it.
  

• Chris Andersen (The Birdman) already had one of the best nicknames in the NBA so Marlow decided he would come up with a good nickname for his hair style. He has various ones but I often hear "Birdzilla" being thrown around a significant amount of the time.
  

• There have been no Lithuanian Liquidators thrown around for Kleiza this year, hes had an off year and Marlow does not support those.

• Chauncey is known as Mr. Big Shot and Marlow likes that.

• Renaldo Balkman is called "Naldo" a very clever shortening of his first name, once again it proves that Marlow is on top of his game.

• There are various other names that he just comes up with on the spot for Nene, Kenyon, and the rest. These names are often a one time deal, but you can guarantee that if the Nuggets are ahead by 20 or more at least 50% of his reporting will be on a new nickname or some hilarious event. The best part of this is Scott Hastings and his response or lack thereof, because I truly find Hastings very funny.

• The best part of this season as with the past seasons are the awards they hand out. There is no more Subway sub of the Game, which was always a favorite. This year they brought back the Lexus Drive of the Game, this is always fiercely debated from the first layup of the game. They added the Mattress King Rejection of the Game, usually 3 or 4 good options to choose from for this. The best this year though, a new edition, is simply TACOS! Anytime the Nuggets score 103 or more you can go into Taco Bell the next day and get 3 free tacos with a purchase of drink. Every game you pray for 103 points and Marlow will not forget about the Tacos. He told many stories of his great adventures into Taco Bell the next day, by far TACOS has become a fan favorite.

Well I believe that is all that this amazing year in Nuggets Basketball has offered. A great year with plenty of tacos offered. Round 2 is about to start, I despise the Mavs I mean look at that team...Dirk, Jason Kid, that little Spaniard Barrera and the rest. Go Nuggets, but most of all score 103!!!
