Golden Nuggets: Ending On A High Note

Good morning folks, hope everybody enjoyed the game last night. Fooch had to sub in for me yesterday in the Nuggets because the internet here at the hotel decided it didn't want to cooperate. Tonight, it's looking a bit better, but I'm not optimistic about its chances of holding up, so I plan to keep things short and sweet for the day. I saw most of the game at a bar (Dust Bowl Tap Room in Turlock, CA ... new place, I highly recommend it to anyone. Order the Squeakers and drink the IPA) and have many thoughts on it. I'll relay said thoughts in a post on SB Nation Bay Area a bit later this morning. Until then, we'll get right to your Nuggets for the day and keep them quick-like. Enjoy, folks.
