Three things to think about this week of February 28

1. OK, so I am as critical as anybody of Carmelo Anthony when it comes to his defensive play. I'll just say this: Knicks fans are about to learn why we Nuggets fans got so fed up with him.

Yes, he and the Knicks played good defense to end last night's game with the Heat. So you know he can do it, and chooses not to (similar to Amare). He played good defense in his other showdowns with LeBron James (when he was a Nugget and 'Bron was a Cav). He played hard on defense against Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference Finals.

But nobody should get ahead of themselves on this issue. Knicks fans can get back to me when their team is not in the mood to D up and does something silly, like give up 115 points to the Cavaliers (wait, that already happened? oops)

Sorry if readers feel overloaded with Carmelo Anthony comments in this blog. We just never seize to be interested in his career.

2. The next couple weeks should be interesting for men's college hoops fans in the state of Colorado, but also potentially heartbreaking. The CU Buffs and the CSU Rams have been pleasant surprises this year, but both look to be on the wrong side of the NCAA bubble, barring a run in their respective conference tournaments.

3. The Colorado Rockies play their second Cactus League game this afternoon. Life is good.
