Billups had a very great start against both the celts and nets. He has played better than average this week thats why he is one of the playas of the week.
yeah. They give it to not so good players if they improve. Actually, they see the team that did best, and pick the player that did best from that team. I donno why O'Neal got it. The Pacers didn't do so well this month.
