Less than 24 hours after their blockbuster deal to acquire Allen Iverson, the Denver Nuggets postponed their game Wednesday night against Phoenix because of a snowstorm that snarled traffic, closed the airport and forced the governor to declare a state of emergency.
No makeup date had immediately been set.
With harsh wind blowing the 12-plus inches of snow expected to hit Denver, it was no night for venturing out to watch a basketball game, and nobody benefited more than the Nuggets.
Denver faced the prospect of playing the Suns, who are on a 15-game winning streak, without Carmelo Anthony and J.R. Smith (suspended), Andre Miller and Joe Smith (traded), or Iverson, who hadn't yet made it to town because of weather and other logistics.

At the time, I was hit by the storm...in the state right under Colorado (New Mexico, by Albuquerque). Sorry about the game...and the storm sucked. I got stuck in NM for a couple of days over it! Denver usually can handle snowstorms, but this one was really terrible.
