Keeping Billups

[Steskiles@aol.com]

Hopefully, Billups' performance against Chicago will end all those trade
rumors.  Like the TNT announcers said of Billups: "This guy's been
struggling? It looks like he's played in the league for years!!"

DON'T LET HIM GO !!!!!!!! 

Key points to tonight's game:

1. Down 32-12, Celtics fight back.  They may be young and inexperienced, but
these Celtics aren't intimitaded by anyone, not even the world champs.

2. McCarty is a sparkplug.

3. Travis Knight outplayed the Bulls' centers he is modeled after.  Rick said
he only expects Travis to provide a "Bull-Center type performance": smart
defense, about 10 points, crashing the boards.  Sure, he'll get bullied by
Ewing and the A-list centers, but there really aren't THAT MANY A-list
centers.

4.  Dee Brown's in trouble.  He committed some stupid fouls and just didn't
play smart.

I'd love some feedback on these issues.
