Still Adjusting...

DENVER (UPI) -- Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson combined for 48 points Tuesday as the Denver Nuggets swept past the Chicago Bulls 112-91. Anthony tallied 26 points and Iverson added 22, while Marcus Camby added 12 points and 20 rebounds for the Nuggets, who have won six straight. Kenyon Martin contributed 13 points for Denver, which shot 50.6 percent. Rookie Joakim Noah led Chicago with 16 points, with Kirk Hinrich and rookie Thomas Garner adding 14 points apiece for the 2-8 Bulls.
After going up just 36-25 in the first quarter, the Nuggets used a 13-0 run to forge a 72-53 halftime lead and were up 94-69 after three quarters. The Bulls, who were without Luol Deng for a second straight game (sore back), never mounted a challenge in the final period.
I know that this looks bad for the Bulls but they have a really good squad. Even though Noah gave them a good effort by rippin in 16 points I am giving them a few more months before the chemistry begins to flow at a steady and dangerous pace where the name Chicago Bulls will put those opposing them in fear.
