He was dressed in a turtleneck and slacks at the beginning of the game after he pronounced himself unfit to play after today's shootaround. He said his knee felt tender today after Monday's practice.<br /> <p><br /> Mark - as for your comments on Nick, you have it about right. I was at the game and Coach Evans sat Nick on the bench and started Avery tonight - who had a great game by the way. I heard that Nick was late to Monday's practice - his second infraction in the past few weeks.<br /> The crowd got unruly in the 4th quarter when a good, close game suddenly got out of hand and Nick missed several shots late. The crowd was booing the Nuggets but singling out Nick in particular and he definitely egged on the crowd at the very end of the 4th. Just like when he was with the Lakers. I'm not going to boo the guy, but I don't pity a guy who can't find happiness making 10 mil a year. First of all, no Antonio.
