Chauncey Billups is tired of this
Published by The Cavalier November 16th, 2006 in Detroit Pistons, NO/OKC Hornets, Things We Like, Standings, Rasheed Wallace
As the Cavaliers rolled over the Trailblazers last night and continued their “best record in the East” thing, we periodically checked the score of Pistons v Hornets, just to make sure we could wake up this morning and still say “we told you so”.
Detroit loses at home to NO/OKC, and looks disjointed and uninspired doing so.
We said it as far back as July when Ben Wallace went to CHI - that DET team was the epitome of “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts”.
You take Ben away, and it’s all gonna fall apart. Even point guard Chauncey Billups and his 543 Finals MVP trophies is a little shaken up and unsure.
(Along with our friends at Detroit Bad Boys (who saw this post coming!) and Need4Sheed.)
Anyway…the Chaunce.
“It’s early but it’s late enough where you can get tired of this,” said Chauncey Billups. “It’s just focus, that’s the only thing I can pin it on. We make changes and like, two guys are doing one thing and three guys are doing something different. It’s just focus.”
Now, we’re sure our new myspace friend Boney is cracking his knuckes and getting ready to talk about how good Detroit was in 2003 or something, but this concerns us not.
No, what concerns us is that Rasheed Wallace may implode on the team too early. We were projecting December 12th for some reason, but at this point, it’s looking like late November.
With back-to-backs against Washington and Houston coming up and the Bad Boys having major Flip Saunders defensive problems, these dudes could be 3-7 by the end of the week.
Well, we could do this all day, but we’re busy staring at the standings, watching the new Rocky Balboa trailer over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, and doing pushups.
Implosions!!!
Wow, that didn’t take long. You seem to forget who your team lost to the last time the playoffs happened. I remember the “upstart” Cavs were held to 61 points in a game that actually mattered.
2003 the Pistons weren’t that good, it was 1989, 1990, and 2004. Those 3 years are 3 more years than the Cavs have ever had…
1989 - even better.
the bad boys are living up to the name - bad boys . they’re so bad , they stink !
the Cavs must have won the NBA Finals in 1989.
Tay Prince is my favorite player.
Yes, yes, we’re all impressed with the size of Detroit’s championship rings.
But seriously - parading your team’s historical success in front of a fan of Cleveland sports teams? What’s the point, other than masochistic satisfaction? It’s a completely frutless endeavor - pissing in the ocean.
Besides, as a Cavaliers fan, I’m pretty sure the 1989 postseason never happened. At least, that’s how I remember it.
Er…I meant sadistic satisfaction in that post. Ah well.
I enjoy Boney’s posts, but i too wonder what the point is.
Am I to open my eyes to the wonder that is Detroit sports and renounce my Clevelandhood or something?
I don’t ask that anyone renounce their “whatever”-hood… I just despise homers.. That’s all.
My eye was caught last playoffs when a post labeled something along the lines of “The Cavs went Philly on The Pistons”…when by the end of that very same week, the Cavs didn’t go Philly on anything including rebounding in Game 6 and basically shooting below 40% in Game 7.
I enjoy the Cav’s post, he makes me titter.
Wait, Boney isn’t a homer?
I am a homer, but I’m not a blind homer.
I meant to say I despise blind homers.
Billups is G-O-N-E after the season.
AAAADRIIIIAAAAAAAN
can we please get a post about the spurrrrss losing to the mighty bobcats… my girlfriend didnt even know that there was such a thing as the charlotte bobcats
I can’t wait for that Rocky Movie…
We took yesterday off. The Mavs still suck tho, which is always good. wiwi.
I see there’s now a wanna-be-roundie-henchman.
Does that make ‘Tony Parker’ a wannie-be-tony-frenchman?
*sob*
Hey Mr. Cavalier, my girlfriends hotter than yours: myspace.com/nycchicax02….oooooooo wiiiiiii. wiwi.
dude, if Rocky fought Coach Ditka, Rocky would win! And I mean a young ditka. Then rocky would beat the bears. Awesome!
Pistons will be fine, but I am enjoying this seemingly widespread parity in the league. And by that I mean we’re only 7-9 games into the season. But hey, its Shannon Brown time. Only Maxiell time excites me more.
Is it time already for Chicago to start panicking? They were, like, meant to dominate the Central and be contenders or something.
On another note. Tyrus Thomas, no4 pick, has 3.3 ppg, 2.2 rpg. Renaldo: 3.2ppg, 2.6 rpg. Isiah: genius.
mann Ben Gordon is better than all these sophmores and rookie shooting guards and point guard He is better than chris paul too watch he is going to be a star in the nba he is going to make that all-star team
