I think you are right…especially in Powell’s case. But RoCo is not a starter on a championship team - he got killed tonight
Or???? Maybe he was doing exactly what his coach was telling him to do and his coach got killed tonight? Maybe it was the team that got killed tonight? I certainly didn't see Billups pulling RoCo aside and holding him accountable. I certainly didn't see Billups changing the defensive "Scheme". Maybe? Just Maybe?

Well one person put the Blazers irrationally at 6, so it threw off the numbers a little bit. There was a wide variation because some people only went by what's happened this year and some people went off of expectations. I didn't tell anyone how to vote. At some point I do plan on including a brief explanation but with so many people contributing it would be hard to say exactly why.

Just be patient. Even 20-30 games might be a bit soon? They might have to rework the roster a bit more and then get a real "Billups System" together. Right now looks more like a cross between Stotts/Brooks/Billups and Lillard/CJ. Nothing seems defined just yet? We might be in for a longer haul than we were hoping for. Don't lose faith just yet.
