There are certainly a few defenders who could probably slow him....but like great scorers, he's gonna get his. But yeah, I think Ron Ron can definitely slow him. That said, if he's out of his rhythm, and JR Smith is the Nuggets offense, it's not enough to get past the Lakers. And as much as I like Chauncey, he realistically needs players to help him. I agree with you Temple that the Nuggets will probably get bounced similarly to last year. That said, it's good to see a bit more fight out of them these last couple of years with Chauncey running the team. They might get beat but they'll put up a fight. That’s true Temple.

It was like they ran him out of the hotel half nekkit! He shot 70% in Game 1 -- and that was it. It was all downhill after that. I will be watching to see if his ability to be efficient has improved in the post-season. The addition of Ron Artest suggests that Denver is going to get bumped again in roughly the same manner. Mizzo -- you've seen my chart on Chauncey in the playoffs -- so you know he's not the answer, either.

Damn Carmelo....Alex English is such a good comparison. I think 'melo came out of his mommy's tummy looking for an open spot on the floor. He's that much of a natural. It's a thing of beauty watchin' his offensive game. And Ty Lawson.....I say he'll be a 6th man of the year within a couple years. Blazers have all kinds of depth, but Chauncy Billups is a talisman. I never wanna bet against him. He's a champ. Any team he's on, ya gotta watch out for. Nuggets are gonna be big trouble again this year. Got to watch this game last night.
