I'm a fan of 'Melo. There, I said it. I'm a BIGGER fan of Chauncey Billups. With that said, even though its only been 2 games, the Denver Nuggets have had an awesome showing after the biggetst trade of the decade beating the Boston Celtics tonight. Their defense, from what i saw, was better than i've ever seen it. Offense looked iffy at times, which means their win was even more impressive. Being a fan, i'm very biased, but even Charles Barkley can't deny that Denver looked better than expected! If J.R. Smith keeps consistant then he could become a superstar...and that's a big "if", if you're a Denver fan and have been paying attention to him over the past few years. They look better defensively, but their flow wasn't there. That'll happen with brand new players, I imagine, but these guys still looked damn good to beat the second best team in the NBA tonight. Denver has always been a good home team in the 'Melo era, but I still think that few people expected Denver to show so well against the Celtics. Denver doesn't miss 'Melo YET, but I'm sure it'll get to them soon. Hopefully, George Karl can make the proper adjustments to keep Denver in the playoffs for the ninth straight year.
