They are saying Billups will be out from 10 days to 2 weeks with a strained right calf so thats 4-7 missed games. He is kind of a big guy for his size so thats a lot of extra weight going on those muscles playing those kinds of minutes.

We have been very lucky the past few years with injuries so I suppose its about time for that luck to run out. Injuries can be a positive things forcing players to expand their games and for coaches to play other players, making the team stronger.

In that game. I am not totally faulting Delfino for that last play. That was a hail mary type of pass that you don't expect to be that accurate. Live and learn. Now he knows to be more carfull on the last play of a game like that. It did not look like he was even trying to foul, just got careless. We would not have been in that game anyway if it were not for Delfino.

That game was lost in the 2nd quarter as others here pointed out. Same old same old - get a big lead and let the other team back in. Get off to a nice lead and get away from what got you there. Will they ever learn?
