HOW AND WHY THE QUEST IS DIFFERENT

A SUMMARY OF WHY QUEST FOR THE RING IS DIFFERENT AND WHY YOU SHOULD BE HERE
QUEST FOR THE RING: Knew that the Martin benching in 2006, the tormenting and benching of J.R. Smith in 2007, and the point guard fiasco in 2008, all the fault of George Karl, would go a long way to dooming the Nuggets in the playoffs in those respective years. We knew that J.R. Smith was going to be a great guard all along.
OTHER WRITERS: Most during 2006, 2007, and even into 2008 thought that J.R. Smith would always be a loser, and the specifics of the 2008 PG disaster generally blew right by them
QUEST FOR THE RING: Only who deserves the blame gets the blame; we don't rip players for a small number of poor games, or if the responsibility for how they are playing lies elsewhere. We are more pro player and more anti-basketball establishment than are other writers. We tell you about how basketball should be and about how games are won and about how franchises stay on the winning track.
OTHER WRITERS: They do rip players for a few poor games, and they frequently don't put responsibility where it really belongs. They rarely or at best just once in a while go after anyone other than the players themselves. They like to think that if the players just "tried harder" the results would be more wins, which is not true, not only because it assumes incorrectly that the players are not doing about the best they can in the context they are in, but also because winning and losing is determined by many, many other factors than "how hard" players are "trying". There is virtually no such thing as a pro NBA player who doesn't "try hard"!
QUEST FOR THE RING: Knew that George Karl was never going to succeed with the Nuggets from day 1 and we won't forget it.
OTHER WRITERS: It took them a long time to come around to agreeing that George Karl is a failure at coaching the Nuggets, and many of them will more or less forget about their discovery next season.
QUEST FOR THE RING: Opinions that are really facts that very few know; everything we write is fact based, nothing is said just to start an argument and get ratings. If you don't like facts, statistics, and logical proofs, you won't like Nuggets 1.
OTHER WRITERS: Loaded with light and fluffy opinions, and also "false flag" emotional, extreme opinions that the writer may not believe, but that are so provocative that they boost traffic to the site, because fans feel the need to comment on the site after they read the extreme opinions. Sports radio broadcasters do the same thing; they don't really believe some of the things they say; they are out for ratings.
QUEST FOR THE RING: We don't waste our time on speculations about trades that never happen. Potential trades are covered only if they reveal things about team managment.
OTHER WRITERS: They do waste their time on speculations about trades that never happen.
QUEST FOR THE RING: Always loaded with facts, stats, and insights about how and why basketball games are won that you can't find anywhere else.
OTHER WRITERS: Depending on the writer, the facts, stats, and original insights about how and why basketball games are won are kind of hard to find or impossible to find.
QUEST FOR THE RING: All original content; we hardly ever put links to big Corporation and other sites in our content; we are not ever going to simply read other stuff and report on and link to it here.
OTHER WRITERS: Some of them often do this, and it's kind of insulting to both the reader and the writer when you think about it.
If you have a brain and you are tired of the ordinary fluff and emotional baiting of other writers, you will like Quest. If you do like the Quest for the Ring serious but at the same time entertaining approach to basketball, and you are smart instead of emotional and fluffy, please consider teaming up; if you really know some things about how basketball games are won, we can set you up with a blog like this for your team at no cost.

THE QUEST FOR THE RING EITHER PRODUCES OR LINKS TO EVERY BASKETBALL INFO SITE YOU WILL EVER NEED

CONTENT OTHER THAN OUR REPORTS, WITH A QUEST FOR THE RING EDIT AND TOUCH:
There is way to much to cover all of it, but we can summarize. Start your investigation of this content with the Main Menu, which is not far from the top of this page in the right column. Here you will find pages designed by Quest that get you the basketball, sports, and even other information you need and want quickly and easily. For example, there is a page for every Nuggets player and one for almost every Pistons player. There is a relatively popular rumors page. And there are many others. Further down the right column, you will see links to the very best sources of basketball information and data. And there will also be links to photo sets, Colorado news and information, and even the Quest for the Ring formatted radio stations!

In what has been an unexpected but pleasant surprise, among the Quest main menu pages, the Nuggets 1 Basketball School has been the big hit on the internet traffic wise. As a result, we are pouring more resources into developing this site during 2008. You see, there are a lot of players out there who know that being able to win is not enough; you have to know how to win! You might want to pay a visit:

NUGGETS 1 BASKETBALL SCHOOL

Whether in season or off season, there will always be something great appearing at Quest for the Ring. Something that you can use to learn how to win. So visit year round y'all!

CLASSIC NUGGETS 1 PROMOTIONAL INTRODUCTION, AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL ITEM

The Quest for the Ring was originally Nuggets 1, and this is a classic 2008 promotional introduction to it:

Welcome to the brand new home built especially for Denver Nuggets, basketball, and Colorado sports fans in general. We come locked and loaded. Everything you could need to follow The Nuggets can be found here. You will find that you can use Nuggets 1 as your ultimate Nuggets internet reference. This is the most complete multimedia directory to all content on the Internet that involves the Denver Nuggets. Anyone who uses the Nuggets 1 main menu will get to the content he or she wants in less time than any other way. Keep watching Nuggets 1 and the Nuggets as they both get bigger and better. Peace.

Only about 1 in 200 basketball fans are fans of the Denver Nuggets. It is a longshot that this small market franchise will ever win a Championship in our lifetimes. If you are among the few, the proud, the Nuggets fans, this is your site. You can find out what the Nuggets would have to do to be able to have a real chance of winning a Championship. If you want light and fluffy opinions, go elsewhere. Although we always keep it very entertaining, and although we add jokes wherever possible, our reports are the hard truth, the real truth, the ugly truth sometimes, and the factual truth, with smoking gun evidence always provided to prove the case. So if you want and can handle the truth, this site is for you. We are eventually going to have more writers on here, and they will without a doubt be hard hitting and smart also.

INTRODUCTORY NUGGETS 1 MATERIAL FROM EARLY 2008-MORE INTERESTING QUEST HISTORY

How about an interesting blast from the past? Before it was The Quest for the Ring it was Nuggets 1. This was introductory material on the Nuggets 1 home page in 2008:

WE DO NOT LIKE GEORGE KARL'S COACHING TO SAY THE LEAST, AND NEVER HAVE

Want to know why the Nuggets are in great danger of not making the playoffs even though they are one of the most talented teams in pro basketball, and even though some top commentators forecasted them to at least reach the West finals in 2008? Most and probably all of the reasons are here. And Nuggets 1 was calling for George Karl to be replaced as soon as he was hired. As Aristotle said many, many years ago, "He who can not be a good follower can not be a good leader." Karl is not a good follower, he sees only his way and is unable to come up with ways to manage the Nuggets that follow the skills and playing styles of individual players, warts and all. You have to follow before you can lead, in other words you have to adjust your ways to reflect what you are working with, and GK can not or will not do that.
