" Hi I'm Barry Le Brock the Denver Nuggets were within two victories and make their first trip ever the NBA finals last year for a preview of Denver this here I'm joined by Chris can't see. The Denver pro I think Chris got to north Carmelo Anthony got I like an MVP most of the year last year all the way to that. Last two games the playoffs against the Lakers is this guy. Now at a point in his career we can lead his team legitimately to a championship."

" Yeah you know I think he is -- I I think -- you know last year was big. Step in terms of crossing over that line from just a player who had a lot of potential who they wanted to be the face of the franchise they wanted to beat the leader of the team to look where that kind of stepped up and assumed that -- How hard he has to work in and certainly. Players who has a lot more knowledge in know how it any embraces. That the leadership role also I think last year was it is enormous step for a -- only entity and I expect him to trying to build on what he did last season."

" Having given issue's depth -- this team after losing a couple of really go to guys Dahntay Jones and Linus Kleiza."

" You know -- that's -- very question and I think that what the -- feel like it's certainly throughout the organization is. It. It is -- they -- a little bit of that interchangeable parts know what they've done in terms of replacing Dahntay Jones in Dallas Kleiza is. You know get a guy like Aaron Afflalo who they are really high on him and apparently he's come in their late August. And certainly an individual work out in in just kind of scrimmage with the team was. One of the most impressive players. That cervical shall -- he'd seen our. You know it through to the September workouts and you carry that over so -- training camp so I think they feel like that sound defensively he can do is he can give the team some of -- darkly joke owns. --"

" Violated Nuggets made it to the Western Conference finals a year ago do you think Denver is the biggest threat to knock off the Lakers in the conference."

" Well you know I actually I think they're one of the united figure it certainly have to look at the Portland trailblazers -- as an -- team -- know they were. Certainly apocalyptic last season and I think a lot of people. My eight forget or money even known couldn't -- that the Portland trailblazers that is with the exact same record as the Denver Nuggets last season they just. Locked out on a tiebreaker because in the it's when the season series between the two teams though even Nuggets certainly should be back. Among the challengers I would look for Portland and certainly San Antonio. -- Spurs made it. It just a bunch of changes they should give him back among the it -- seemed as well also delighted to have some so at some challengers in the in the Nuggets certainly will be one of them."

" All right Chris thanks probably at night and for more basketball make -- keep it right here logged on foxsports.com. I'm Barry Le Brock scenic."
