Mr. Big Shot is just about ready to go, says ESPN:

Billups practices, expected to play in Game 1 of East finals

And from ASB:

Quote:

"He went through the whole practice, full contact," said Pistons coach Flip Saunders.

Billups said he still has some limitations, but not enough to where he expects it'll result in him missing Game 1.

"Of course, my full-out sprint is not where I would like it to be," Billups said. "It's not like I'm superfast, anyway. I don't worry about it too much. But just straight ahead is my problem; not lateral."

Billups practiced almost up to capacity with the team.

"It's just good to be out there," Billups said. "My full-out sprint is not where I want it to be, but it's not like I'm that fast anyways."

He was asked if he has regained full range of motion, could he do everything he could before the injury.
"Not everything, but I am good enough to play," he said. "All I asked for when I got hurt was that I can get back to being good enough to play. As far as being the best that I can be, I don't know if I can get to that. We only have another month or so left. But I wasn't asking for that. I just want to be good enough to play and hopefully I can be productive."

Pistons' Billups not at 100 percent

Hopefully Chauncy can be ...ummm, ...uhhhhhh, ..."productive".
