Honestly? They'll be hard pressed to make the playoffs...they'll be a little better with Billups, but it won't be enough to propel them into the playoffs.

i think they are playoff bound now, i was amazed we beat boston on a back to back. i may be getting ahead of myself but if we can continue that type of play then look out!

I think the trade for Billups was a good thing and I think they'll improve, but I think they'll just miss the playoffs this year.

I think they are defintly in the playoffs, but i dont think they have any chance at getting past the 2nd round or out of the 1st

Nuggets better try hard right now to get homecourt.
The rest of the Conference is not there yet.
Spurs aren't getting anywhere right now without Parker and Ginobly.
Rockets are still finding themself. Beating teams like Phoenix and Hornets, but losing to Spurs.
Dallas has been looking horribly, who knows if it is a sign that they are done.
Hornets also cool down, losing to Rockets, Hawks, and Bobcats.
Utah has been inconsistent, note that they didn't have Williams. But they lost to Wizards.
Golden State doesn't have Ellis.... but they always find 2nd rounders-undrafted rookies to score 30+ points for them.
Lakers picked up where they started from, so they are the only team that is playing up to their capability.

QFT!!=Quoted For Truth......
I agree that the nuggets got a great deal by picking up billups but does that make them playoff bound? i dont know
with the pick up of billups im not sure if you all have noticed but theres no interior defense now that Camby is gone! Nene is not a shot blocker let alone a great defender nor is kmart so the nuggets are really weak against a interior power teams and most of the east coast teams have inside presense so if the nuggets dont get that fixed i dont see them going very far on just shooting from the arc!

No interior defense haha did you watch them when they had camby all he did was block point guards who got passed ai haha and i beleive Kmart can play defense didnt he just control KG? and always guards other teams best guys? and nene may not be a defensive monster but he brings a hugely missed low post offensive threat that camby and kmart dont have! i agree they arent legit title contenders yet still need another consistent outside shooter and a solid big off the bench but alot of the teams in the west are getting older so i can definatley see them getting past the first round if they can get a matchup against anyone but LA

Thank you, thank you...
Finally someone who watched the game.
KG had 1-2 baskets on Kenyon and those were strictly off switches/failed switches.
Truth be told!!!
As far as the playoffs go, well...we'll see.
We're only 10 games in.
