The internet is dominated by short and very short articles, but my full game reports are extremely long, averaging about 4500 words these days. I know some people will never have the time to read articles that long. Short articles on extremely important topics are great for fans without a lot of time to check out and to give their opinion on. So from now on, as time permits, I will extract very important parts of game reports and post them as separate reports. Here are the real player ratings for the Nuggets-Magic game. For an explanation of the Real Player Rating, go to: http://nuggets1reference.blogspot.com/2007/12/real-player-ratings.html NUGGETS-MAGIC REAL PLAYER RATINGS All players who played 5 minutes or more are included.

Eduardo Najera, Den 0.086 OBSERVATIONS ON THE REAL PLAYER RATINGS In the friendly confines of the Pepsi Center in Denver, Kleiza and Carter played two of the best games of their respective careers. Carmelo Anthony was spectacular, while Iverson was merely outstanding in this one. Dwight Howard is a better player than what he showed in this game, and Rashard Lewis should in theory be a better player than what he showed. Camby and Martin were a little off but it didn't mean much, mostly because of the Turkoglu disaster. The Najera disaster was the first one in many, many moons.
