by Chris TomassonFiled under: Nuggets, TimberwolvesDENVER -- George Karl said he wasn't going to overreact to the loss.Then he overreacted.But that's quite understandable. Two weeks earlier, the Denver Nuggets had walloped the Los Angeles Lakers at home, and point guard Chauncey Billups was saying his Nuggets are definitely an elite team.Sunday night, though, they looked more asleep than elite. The Nuggets (12-5), who had won 17 straight regular-season games at the Pepsi Center, were ...

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:20:42 -0500

[Thanks to wjb1492 for today's game preview -ed.] Ladies, gentlemen, and other BaB posters, welcome to the first payback game of the young season - the 6 and 5 Bulls (2 and 4 away) at the 8 and 4 Nuggets (4 and 0 home). Undoubtedly, you all also remember Brad's last second shot that was ruled just a little too last second, leaving the Bulls with a 1-point loss instead of a 1-point victory when the teams first matched up less than 2 weeks ago. Whether you think the ref...

Originally published in SLAM 98 The 6th Man: Fancy, huh? Through the magic of digital manipulation, we can make it look like Dirk Nowitzki and Chauncey Billups are in the same place at the same time, each holding the same ball for our latest “don’t-call-it-a-gimmick-cover” gimmick cover. The truth is that we did these shoots in different cities about a week apart, but the lack of a literal connection shouldn’t dilute our point: Dirk and Chauncey are very much connected by the way they’ve led ...

Don’t let the fact that Chauncey Billups shows little emotion on the court fool you into thinking he’s any less fiery of a competitor than Kobe, Dirk, LeBron, Wade or any other big-time clutch player who punctuates his daggers by making funny faces. You have to be iceberg to have hit as many fourth-quarter threes [...]

As soon as the game was over, my buddy Chris (who's a Spurs fan) sent me a text message: "I want to see these 2 teams in the conference finals". Me too, Chris. Me too. All the credit in the world to the Pistons, and specifically Chauncey Billups, who knocked down two free-throws with a tenth of a second left to seal the win, 87-85. They gave the Celtics everything they had and
