    Playing against CZ in practice has to sharpen him up.

    Love blazers fans falling in love with average bigs while not appreciating the actual good one. Very on brand.

    Billups pulling the starters up 14 with 3:00 to go is not something most vet coaches do. Not saying it's a mistake, but the guys who have been in the league for a while seem to remember that one time they pulled the plug a little too quick and are scared.

    What are some other examples of this? I haven't noticed this trend.

    Not appreciating Sabonis while loving Chris Dudley? Hating Duck, but loving Mark Bryant?
