NBA to take a look at 'flops'

GOOD LOOKING: The Jazz were impressed with the new-look Nuggets, replete with the NBA's Nos. 1 and 3 scorers, Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson.

"They're what we thought they were: They're a good basketball team," guard Derek Fisher said.

"They're a lot better, a lot more dynamic (than previously)," point Deron Williams added. "I mean, they can score from all over. And those two guys scoring so much opens up things for other people as well. And they're not selfish guys — they share the ball, they pass the ball. I mean, they're gonna get their shots up, but they share the ball and they do a good job of pushing the ball in transition. So, they're gonna be a tough team."

HE SAID IT: Williams, on getting to the free-throw line as much as Iverson, who attempted 15 freebies Friday: "One day. It would be a blessing."
