The Nuggets must have missed the memo that said that they had a game last night. They were outscored 31-12 by the T-Wolves who shot 51.2% from the floor for the game. Carmelo Anthony led the way for the Nuggets last night with 31 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. Kenyon Martin pitched in with 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots. Chauncey Billups had a so-so night with 14 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocked shots. The Nuggets are now 12-5 on the season.

I remember sitting at the break room at work when I heard about the trade last season that brought Chauncey Billups to Denver. One of my co-workers thought that the Pistons stole Iverson from the Nuggets but I told him that the Nuggets would rise while the Pistons fell. I usually don’t like to gloat but I was right on that trade. Chauncey Billups is such an unselfish player that I knew he would be a huge asset at point guard for the Nuggets and he still is. Billups has played in 16 games (all starts) for the Nuggets so far this season and he is averaging 32.1 minutes, 16.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Billups makes all of the other players on the Nuggets better as he is without a doubt the #2 man on the Nuggets behind the great Carmelo Anthony.

The Nuggets shot 53.6% from the floor last night and that was the reason they held off a very determined Knicks team. Carmelo Anthony led the way for the Nuggets last night with 50 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Chauncey Billups also had a outstanding game finishing up with 32 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. J.R. Smith pitched in with 17 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 25 minutes off the bench. The Nuggets are now 12-4 on the season.

Nene’ had another good game last night with 17 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocked shots. The Nuggets are now 11-4 on the year.
