Basically, I don't like some of the habits of these guys thinking it's no problem to take bad shots at any point in the game. That has burned us in the playoffs the last 2 years, and they're still doing it. Maybe I just expect more from them than you do. |
Billups shot 5-12. 5-12 is chucking shots all night?
You know what he is Billups, thats just who he is and he is not going to get any better. He will have some better games than last night and some worse games but he is never going to be everyones ideal PG. Still a darn good one though. If you can find someone better than him that the Pistons could have signed last summer I would like to hear it.
Last night he did draw some fouls, had 8 assists, 2 steals and did a decent job chasing around their quick guards and setting the tempo of the game to the Pistons liking.
