With Super Tuesday over, it's time for Super Wednesday, at least for the Nuggets.
Really, must tell you, I am not a huge fan of saying this is "the biggest game" of any team's season, so with a slight bit of uncomfort, I must say I think this is "the biggest game of the season" for the Nuggets to date.
The Nuggets trail the Jazz in the division and are holding off the Blazers. They got a little breathing room from Portland after Monday's night's win up at the Rose Garden. Now, comes the hard part.
The Jazz, a team on a roll, comes to Denver tonight. Jerry Sloan's bunch has won nine straight games overall and while it is just one game, a win for the Nuggets would be critical. It would give the Nuggets a 2-0 edge in the season series. The teams play twice after tonight, both games in Utah. Once on March 8th and then again on April 12th. So with that said, there remains no more important game for the Nuggets than the one on February 6th...even though I said I wouldn't say that.
