The first sound of thunder on a ominous day in Denver happened around 1 p.m., when the Nuggets’ Nene received a pass in the low post and pounded the ball through the hoop, all while soaring over Chris “The Birdman” Andersen.
The Nuggets’ had a passionate scrimmage today, and according to coach George Karl, the marquee performance was from the center Nene.
“Nene was a huge presence, not only his performance but how he led the second unit with his decisions and good defense,” Karl said. “That was probably the best part of the scrimmage.”
Karl also canceled the Thursday evening practice, while complimenting his team and determining that “the one-a-days seemed to have a good rhythm, and I didn’t want to mess with that.”
