    I would have appreciated it if Billups could have come up with one specific example of what he had learned during his first two years of coaching...

    I don't really like questions like that. If he's gets super specific, then he's giving out information that can only help others teams. Also, if he brings up something he didn't know previously, it could be used against him as an example of how unprepared he was to be a head coach.

    At the end of the day, the results on the court will be the best indicator of how much he's learned over the years; not some summer league interview.

    This is the way Summer League ends - not with a bang but with a whimper.

    Orlando Robinson probably feels like he's pretty hot shit but joke's on him - much worse players have had better games against us.

    And this coming season, many more. Sigh. I'm going to need some of Scoot's optimism, but he's probably going to need it more.

    Missed the first half of the game, but what a ugly second half. Way to many turnovers.

    Before summer league: "Christian wood sucks!"

    After watching blazers center at summer league: "you know what. . ."

    Humiliating end to summer league. Walker and Murray looked OK. Not sure if anyone else we have seen deserves even a two way contract.

    They don't deserve the summer league contract.

    Minaya was given 3 minutes and 28 seconds of PT - can't lay this one on him. And Devoe was only -2 in a 26 point loss.
