PrintThe Nuggets won a playoff series for the first time since 1994. I really don't think this was a reference to his former teammates, but it still stings: '`It feels good. It feels great actually, especially me being a hometown kid and kind of from afar following the struggles that they've had the last five years in the first round,'' Billups said. ``It's crazy, that monkey is big on everybody's shoulders around here. It's good to get that off, even though I haven't lost in the first round in a long time. Being around here all year, man, it's like everybody's putting all the emphasis on the first round. I shoot higher than that.''

Well, at least our starting guards both made the All-Star team this season and we had our 7th consecutive trip to the ECF…

Well, Billups doing well is good for the Pistons. It makes it easier to trade Rip and Tay. Dumars can use the ‘ole "once they’re in a new environment they’ll be rejuvenated" approach.

These Denver Thuggets are a lot of fun to watch. Reminds me of a team I used to love… what was their name… you know, the ones who played defense and were really tough?
