LETTERS THAT DO NOT GET PUBLISHED IN THE PAPER

To: Denver Post sports columnist Mark Kiszla, 3/10/09

Carmelo Anthony has great potential but for some reason -– and I’m getting tired of reading and hearing about it –- he is unable to bridge the gap between being a young star and taking over the leadership role that the Nuggets so desperately need. His maturation here has not yielded the hoped-for result and he should be traded, for his benefit and the team’s. I don’t believe the coaching at Cleveland or Utah is superior to Denver’s, yet LeBron James and Deron Williams seem to have no trouble fulfilling their take-charge duties big-time, to which their teammates respond and the fans love every moment.

Thank you Mark Kiszla for not continually blaming fatigue when the Nuggets lose. TV-caster Scott Hastings should be arrested for not coming up with a better excuse. A “tired” Houston bunch came to town and sacked our Nuggets, even though they missed what, 15 free throws?

And oh, I hope Dean Singleton hustles you guys up some advertising so we can continue reading your stuff. Lots of copy and skimpy ads in a 10-page section is an ominous sign but I don’t have to tell you that.
