Denver have the right amount of heavy and the right amount of crazy right now to take on a team held up by an elemental force like LeBron James.
that is a sentence worthy of the better moments of freedarko.
emphasis on "the right amount of crazy", especially tempered by, as you say, Billups even-handedness. I guess I can see JR Smith hitting eight 3s, K-Mart randomly having a crazy game, that kinda thing. but they'd have to get lucky, cos I don't think there's any way they could win legit.
really I wonder what would've happened if Yao hadn't got hurt yet again, cos I reckon they would've taken that series & likely beat the Nuggets, & out of all those teams I reckon the Rockets may have actually been the best bet against the Cavs, being as they can play tough guy/defense/hit you in the mouth Cavs basketball, & Artest/Battier combo might wear down even LBJ over 7 games.
