Nuggets fans and media members alike have been wondering what Brian Shaw will do at the power forward spot this season. The debate between starting Kenneth Faried or J.J. Hickson will heat up as Shaw plans to start the latter of the two in future preseason games.
Here's a snippet from Chris Dempsey's piece in the Denver Post today:

-Check out the deal Blazers fans get when their team scores 100 points:
The Trail Blazers and McDonald’s recently reached a five year, free food promotion deal. Sausage Egg McMuffin vouchers will be dispersed to fans when the Trail Blazers reach 100 points at the Moda Center, replacing the Taco Bell Chalupa tradition that stood for 14 years.
Chalupas and McMuffins?!? Wonder what the Nuggets deal will be this season? Still 110 points for tacos? Bring back Malik Allen!
