--From the Denver Post-- … I continue to hear the demise of the Colorado 14ers is at hand. This is expected to be the last season the NBA Development League team plays in the state as the franchise will likely fold at the end of the season. In a maybe-related story, it was announced today that it will place a D-League franchise in Portland, Maine, to begin play next season. I think not having the 14ers in town is too bad, because it was a good and cheap chance to be able to see NBA-caliber talent - a hoop junkie’s heaven - but getting people to go to basketball games in the Denver metro area is proving to be a near impossible task on every level except for the Nuggets. The 14ers play 10 more home games this season, beginning next Wednesday night.
