Around SBN: UFC 143 Predictions

Chauncey officially on Team USA's 15-man roster...

Dsc00033_tiny by Andrew Feinstein on in Denver Nuggets: News and Opinion

20100728__20100729_c03_sp29bknnuggets_p1_200_mediumFilling out the "Jason Kidd role" on Team USA, the Nuggets Chauncey Billups has made the team's 15-man roster.  The roster must be cut down to 12 by August 28th, but with inexperienced guards like Eric Gordon and Russell Westbrook making the 15-man team, I'm expecting Chauncey to be heading to Turkey for the 2010 FIBA World Championships.

Congrats to Billups

Hopefully he can recruit some more talent to come to Denver while he’s at it.

This just in:

Chauncey is going to be worn down by January.
Happy for Billups, but I don’t think he should be playing.

Chris Andersen could be in a porno with his 'stache. Too bad he still wouldn't know how to box out.
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Bleacher Report: Billups, Martin two guys who we'll probably see finish the season with different teams

by LACK over 1 year ago 5 comments

This is a video showing Allen Iverson's deadly crossover. I was a huge fan of him until he got traded, as I knew that although he stunk at defense and sometimes ran into the law that he had an amazing heart for the game. It was when he got traded that I really realized that Iverson was possibly part of the problem (and not The Answer) in Denver, as I thought that the Melo-Iverson-Camby core would win a championship. Side note: Johan Petro is funny. Also, the very first play is Allen Iverson killing Chauncey Billups (on the TWolves) on a nasty ankle-breaker, but then about 20 seconds later there's another crossover, but this time it is of a Pistons' Iverson crossing over Billups last season.

STIFF LIST (as of 1/30 by Jeff Morton)

1. THE ORLANDO MAGIC
After starting the season so well with the Dwight Howard trade drama (10-3) - the Magic have fallen apart (2-5 since) with embarrassing losses to the Celtics (twice), Hornets, and Pacers. Trade Dwight already!

2. CHAUNCEY BILLUPS' FLOP VS. NUGGETS
In the waning seconds of Sunday's game against the Clippers, Chauncey pulled off an acting performance so good it deserved an Academy Award. If he was still a Nugget we would love it, but he's not. STIFF!

3. JIMMER FREDETTE
Dude, if you are going to take the game-winning shot, at least draw some iron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNO1goJOruQ

4. GEORGE KARL'S 4TH QUARTER AGAINST THE CLIPPERS
Getting out coached by Vinny Del Negro should be a nice wake-up call. Going away from Gallo. Leaving Al Harrington in. Using Rudy Fernandez at point guard. And going ultra small contributed to the Nuggets loss.

5. JEFF MORTON
For saying that the Nuggets would skimp on payroll and go cheap like the Avalanche. Clearly I was wrong and deserve to be on this Stiff List. I can only hope that the gods of basketball forgive me.
