I have thoughts. Billups is fucking killing us. If I see him jack up one more contested 3-pointer with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, I'm going to kick him in the knee my damn self. "Mr. Big Shot" was the worst possible nickname to give him. "Mr. Game Manager" would have worked much better since the dude actually now thinks of himself as someone who needs to force big shots.
'Melo was off Sunday night and I knew it would be a problem when he drove twice and got fouled/his shot blocked with no call. Turned him into a jump shooter. No excuses. He had some good looks and didn't knock them down. I think Boston will be worried about Amare. O'Neal and Garnett can guard him together, but KG has no shot at stopping him straight up.
Did you see us playing all that defense? I can't get over that. The strategy of allowing Rondo to take as many jumpers as he wants while we pack the paint is brilliant.
And I still like our chances.
