    Is anyone who's not stupid actually planning on learning anything during this press conference? If so, they will be fine points, not really big news.

    I'm hoping to learn a lot. I'm hoping to be able to glean if these guys put this story from Chauncey's past to bed and then move onto basketball matters. I want to learn just how far into detail the team and Chauncey are willing to go. I want to learn what Chauncey's approaches are to our biggest problems (defense in general and Dame getting trapped). So I think this could be really educational... and hopefully the spectacle is only for the first few minutes or for the few minutes after someone breaks the ice on the assault allegation.

    putting to bed: won't know for a long time.
    detail: they're not willing
    approach: will emphasize passing

    you are a "with it" poster, you know this shit.

    Neil has been talking up Billups for YEARS - it was always going to be Billups. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Billups becoming an assistant last year was Neil's idea.

    That's a good one, there's too many Neil-ism's to fit in one board.

    Ha maybe

    It'll be something like...

    Can you talk about Chauncey's allegations?

    Listen, we looked at this with a high level of scrutiny. We undertook an extensive investigation into the matter. We sat down and had the conversation with Chauncey about it. Everything that came back cleared him.

    Can you comment on the backlash?

    Look, obviously no matter what decision you make there are going to be people who don't agree with it. There is a lot of overreaction. People don't know the facts. Where were all these same people a month ago who wanted sweeping changes? They were the ones going crazy about wanting changes.

    I actually hope he is really combative and white knights big time for Dame and Billups — for those questions.

    For legitimate questions, I hope he is different than we usually see.
