And now it’s time for Nuggets Haiku
We had a little contest on Twitter last night. Denver Stiffs had given us a “Yellow Skyline” logo Nuggets jersey-shirt to give away, so we hosted a Haiku contest on Twitter during the teams home opener versus the Pistons.
We got some great stuff from people who hit us with poems and the hashtag #NugsHaiku. It wasn’t easy to select a winner among the dozens of entries we received. People are just so gosh darn clever! The Champ, and several runners up, after the jump.

Our winner ….
@countclay nuggets will make run/ In the playoffs one and done/ there I said it son
The use of the phrase “there I said it” put Clay’s entry over the top. But we were sent many other equally clever, funny and creative Haiku:
