Billups

[Dorine Pratt <norine@sover.net>]

I've been a supporter of Billups too, along with many on this list, but
in the Laker game he was so bad it was embarrasing.  I can understand
why anyone not seeing him on one of his better nights might wonder what
on earth he's doing here.  During tonight's game, even Tommy, who is
always sticking up for the underdog, got on his case something
terrible.  Chauncy didn't start and played very few minutes later in the
game, and was still a disaster.  My faith is a little shaken, too, but I
still think he will improve, and if he doesn't, Pitino will get rid of
him.  Guess it's up to Chauncy.

The game tonight was great - really enjoyed it.  Even though they ended
up losing, they took the second best team in the west to overtime.
Mercer was nothing short of spectacular.  Everyone says he's a special
player and I can see why.  I also might mention I think Barros and Dee
have played very well so far this year.  Tyus is good, but he's just too
small.  It's always good to see Danny.
