Re: celts beat nuggets

Usually a coach would be more diplomatic and say "has trouble winning on the 
road" or at least "couldn't" instead of "can't" but this is just the latest 
in a series of statements he's made since the trade which indicate that he 
doesn't respect our talent -- probably since they didn't produce for him 
(except Fortson).

We didn't trade Billups in that deal -- he went to Toronto along with Roy 
Rogers who is also now a Nugget.  Their other acquisition in the Fortson 
trade was Shintzius who is probably fouling out of games at the YMCA even as 
we speak.

It certainly can get confusing with all the former teammates on these squads.
