    People should've been concerned before the pre-season started. This has always been a roster creation issue and we basically rolled back the same core that got bounced by Denver last year.

    Some people realized Stotts wasn't ever the main problem and was a top 10-15 coach in the league. Billups is coming in with little experience and is going to have to learn on the fly with a roster that has always had some serious issues. Billups can be a good coach, but he isn't going to solve our core problems.

    Did Chauncey have out his clip board out at all?
    I know he's trying to keep it simple.

    Don't worry - we're not going to get bounced from the playoffs this year

    Milwaukee and Phoenix were a combined 0-7 in the preseason last year.

    Not like this game mattered so this more of a general point; I’d rather lose a game missing a bunch of open shots off good actions than win one with a bunch of tough, contested makes. That stuff evens out during the season and in a playoff series, as we’ve seen in the past. Today I saw a bunch of bricks on wide open shots. You can live with that.

    It’s natural that a defense that relies on rotations as much as this one doesn’t just evolve over night. I wouldn’t judge it either way until like end of nov/early dec.

    I like defense. I think it can complement an offense. Kind of like salt and pepper.

    I just want to get a win under Billups even if it doesn't count to break the ice

    41-41
    9th place
    1st 30 games…..12-18

    I’m not mad and frustrated by this at all….. it’s to be expected in a season of transition. Trust me, there will be a lot of this happening this season.I want to know how my dude who predicted 54 wins feels to be honest?
    Preseason rarely means anything….. or does it?
