Podcast: CSG #26: What if Billups was still in Denver? - Colorado Sports Guys
Ross Martin and I break down the Nuggets six game win streak, what went wrong against the Clippers, and much more. We also talk about my experience at the Raptors game with Russ and Vicki Ray (the Signlady) and we break down the ins-and-outs to the moves made by the Nuggets after they traded Chauncey Billups. Some of the salary numbers will have you raising your eyebrows ... (Nuggets talk at the 58 minute mark).
The Clippers blew out the Oklahoma City Thunder last night 112-100, Billups and Company went 13-25 from deep (52%) ... hot again, and Blake Griffin threw down this dunk over the hated Kendrick Perkins. The dunk reminded me of the Griffin over Mozgov dunk and when searching YouTube I found this incredible mash up of the Mozgov and Perkins dunks, great side-by-side view.
And just for the heck of it ... how about Gary Neal getting posterized a couple times last season from Tyreke Evans right here and of course by J.R. Smith right here!
