Your eyes aren't deceiving you and those of us in Denver notice the same thing. When Ty comes on the court, everything changes. We pay faster, force other teams into stupid mistakes and get about 3 WOW plays a game. That said, CB is coming around. Huge game last night to help Denver get the win.
I'd argue that Denver has the best 4 G rotation in basketball:
Billups - Wily old vet. Can hit the three and takes care of the ball 3-1 a/to ratio. Money fro the line.
Lawson - Electric, fast, solid defense.
Afflalo - Solid on defense. Shooting 49% from three. Hard worker.
JR Smith - The mad hatter. When he gets on, he can carry the Nuggets for stretches.
The Nuggets mix and match the four (even playing Billups and Lawson together a lot down the stretch last night) It can give the Nuggets a ton of looks based on what other teams throw at them.
One last thing: I think Lawson will be a full time starter. I think he'd be the full time starter on multiple teams right now. He'll be a reserve next year, then I think Chauncey signs a new deal to be the backup to Ty.
