Denver Nuggets Tickets

Want one great reason to buy Denver Nuggets tickets this year? Lead by Carmelo Anthony and the newly acquired Chauncey Billups, the Nuggets are looking to build on last years playoff appearance and move up in the NBAs tough Western Conference. In 2008, the Nuggets won 50 games, but the conference was so deep that this was only good enough for the 8th and final playoff slot and a date with the first place Los Angeles Lakers. After being swept by the Lakers, Nuggets management decided to shake things up, sending perennial all-star Allen Iverson, whom they had just acquired in 2006, to the Detroit Pistons for Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb a swap that will likely make Nuggets tickets an even greater score.

In 1981, the Nuggets hired Doug Moe as coach, and Moe sold out tickets with a highly up-tempo style of play that made the Nuggets one of the leagues highest scoring teams. In 1981-82, they scored at least 100 points in every game, and in 1983, the Nuggets and the visiting Detroit Pistons combined for an NBA record 370 points in a triple-overtime game that Detroit eventually won, 186184. These enormously entertaining teams sold out tickets, regularly sitting atop the Midwest Division, but could not make it past their nemesis, the Los Angeles Lakers, who were the dominant team of the era.

In 1993-94, Denver finished 42-40 in the regular season and qualified for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western conference. In the first round, the Nuggets pulled of one of the greatest playoff upsets ever, beating the number 1 seeded Seattle 3-2, the first time a number 8 seed had defeated a number 1. They almost duplicated the feat in the next round before falling to Utah in seven games.

The Nuggets qualified for the playoff the following year, but subsequent seasons saw a steep decline that was not reversed until Anthony arrived in 2003.

Small forward Anthony was voted to the NBA All-Star Team in 2007 and 2008, and was a key player on the USA Mens basketball team that won the Gold Medal at the Beijing Olympics. In 2008 he averaged 22.5 points and 9.5 rebounds per game. Point guard Billups is a three-time all-star who was the 2004 NBA Finals MVP as a member of the Detroit Pistons. Other major contributors that send fans looking for front row tickets are power forward Kenyon Martin and shooting guard J. R. Smith.

When the American Basketball Association folded after the 1975-76, the Nuggets were one of four teams taken into the NBA, along with the New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs, and Indiana Pacers. The Nuggets had reached the ABA finals in the leagues last season, with a team that featured David Thompson, Marvin Webster, Dan Issel, and Bobby Jones and was coached by Larry Brown. That team continued its strong performance in the new league, winning division titles in their first two seasons.
