Rolling McDyess

I frame my method, my method is apparent
I see clearly this world's transparent...

The Nuggets, sans Carmelo "I dictate my own playing schedule" Anthony, had a perfect opportunity to take a road contest in Detroit last night. A 12 point lead midway through the 3rd quarter with the home team on the ropes and everything roling the Nugs way.

Then, the dice were cast. Horrible pun, but great veteran play from our old friend Antonio McDyess got the Pistons back into the game and ultimatley the win.

McDyess opened up with his now-patented mid range jumpers and the Nuggets came up snake eyes. Damn, another crappy cliche.

On a side note: does Antonio McDyess ever age? Dude looks the same as he did 14 years ago here in Denver. He is the NBA Benjamin Button.)

The sad thing is that McDyess could've been showcasing his game for the Powder Blue Patrol right now, as he was part of the Chauncey Billups deal. However, he refused to be part of it and the Nugs meekly obliged, bought him out, and he returned to Detroit.

How nice would McDyess' game be in Denver right now? His jumper capability, veteran savvy, substitution capability for K-Mart, and limited low post game would be very nice in the stretch run. But management caved and actually bought out the player so he could stay in Detroit. Try going into your boss and say, "I don't want to be here" and ask if he will give you a lucrative severance package so you can sign with the competition.

No dice.

Dyess used to be able to jump into the rafters. Now, he can jump onto a small stool.
