    15 points in the 3rd. 33 total. That Chuancey Billups is fun to watch.
    STEW BEEF!

    8 threes. Billups would look great in a piston uniform.

    I'm shaking my head after every shot he hits. He is on fire.

    Think we could trade for him? We have the cap space.

    Imagine Billups and Carmelo together in detroit. Too bad that was never a possibility.

    I just threw up a little in my mouth. Mmm, bitter.

    He's playing better than any Piston.

    I had this entire trade thing 100% wrong. I didn't think he'd work out in
    Denver.

    Props to those who had this trade right. Mo did, iirc.

    First Carlisle, then Flip Murray, now this. It's like payback time for Pistons fans or something.

    Billups Comes Up Big In Playoff Opener

    By Jeremy Wagner | TrueHoop Network

    When he introduced Chauncey Billups earlier this season, George Karl proclaimed, "Our next step has been to win in the playoffs and anybody who has been in the Eastern Conference championships six years in a row, knows how to win in the playoffs."

    On a night where the Nuggets clearly came out tight to start the game, Billups showed them how to win. He was the only Nugget unfazed by the pressure. During the first quarter, Billups shot 5-for-6 while the rest of the Denver players were 2-for-12.

    As the game wore on Billups' play allowed the other Nuggets to relax and that led to an offensive barrage, including a 21-0 second-half run, that blew the game open.

    More important than the baskets he made was his vocal leadership. Billups was constantly communicating with his teammates on the court giving encouragement and instruction. He was teaching this perennial playoff flop how to win.

    While most of the attention will be on Billups' brilliant offensive performance, the Nuggets' incredible defense should not be overlooked. Chris Paul was "held" to his season averages and Kenyon Martin absolutely dominated David West, who shot 4-for-16 and struggled to get an open look. Billups' shot will come and go, but if the Nuggets can continue to play defense like that, the rest of the West better take notice.
    Find a new slant.

    and we traded this guy for cap space, hurts, doesn't it?
    whatever Dumars does in the summer, i really doubt we can replace Billups leadership...he was worth the money he's getting payed, why couldn't we just trade RIP or Tay... :/

    I told y'all before the game.

    Chauncey didn't go - he fucking went.

    Way to Go CB - 31+ for the game too (according to Yahoo)

    Gotta love our boy...

    We should have traded Tay.
    Rise like Lions after slumber,
    In unvanquishable number -
    Shake your chains to earth like dew
    Which in sleep had fallen on you -
    Ye are many - they are few.
