Well that sucks. I don't expect it to stop the Clippers' stride at all, but it sucks nevertheless.
Also, at 35 years of age, you've got to wonder if this is the end for Chauncey. I guess we'll see next season.

Chauncey Billups' Seasons End With Torn Achilles
April 19, 2011
Random News Shit: NBA Playoff News Edition
Mr. Kardashian averaged 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds a game on his way to this award that's been his since he didn't make the All-Star team. It's a good thing Andrew Bynum managed to play more than half of the season because if Lamar would've started 5 more games he wouldn't have been eligible to win.
Anyway, 2 NBA awards have been given out and I still haven't finished writing my awards column. Oh well, my picks were probably gonna be all the generic picks anyway so maybe it was for the best.
2) Chauncey Billups Out For Game 2
Why is everyone acting like it's the end of the world that Billups isn't playing in this game? In Game 1 he had just 10 points on 3-11 shooting and only 4 assists in 35 minutes of play and they were a few bad calls away from a win. He left the game early and still played more minutes that Carmelo. Knicks fans should be more worried about that then whether Chauncey Billups is playing being the drop off to Toney Douglas isn't that significant.
3) Danny Crawford To Ref Blazers-Mavs; Mavs 2-17 In Games He Refs
Welp Nate McMillan, you got your wish, the refereeing just swung wildly into the Blazers' favor. When it came out that the Mavs are just 2-17 in playoff games Danny Crawford has refereed should've been enough to get him pulled from the assignment, but I guess not.
4) Steve Blake Over Chicken Pox, Back With Lakers
Not that this will make that much of a difference if Chris Paul is going to continue to play like he did Sunday, but it's a positive I guess.

Random News Shit: NBA Trade Edition
I know the nigga allegedly ran Jerry Sloan out of town, but gotdamn.
Man, how does a trade of this magnitude go under the radar like it did these days? I mean, all the NBA insiders were all over the James Johnson to Toronto trade, but nobody knew about this shit until a short while before it happened. Deron was still with the Jazz when my meeting at work this morning started, and by the time it wrapped up he was a Net. That's so insane to me.
Okay, while I try to wrap my brain around this trade happening seemingly out of nowhere, let's discuss the details of the transactions:
Nets get: Deron Williams, Dan Gadzuric, and Brandan Wright
Jazz get: Derrick Favors, Devin Harris, two first-round draft picks and cash considerations
Warriors get: Troy Murphy and a second-round pick in 2012
At first look at this trade it felt like the Nets gave up too much, but upon further review, I think this was a bit of a steal. (Well, besides the fact that from all account Deron Williams isn't at all happy about this trade and probably won't re-sign in 2012, and all.) Devin Harris is good, but he's no Deron Williams; that first round pick will most likely be hit or miss regardless with this weak upcoming draft class; and as far as Derrick Favors goes, I've never been impressed by him when I saw him play. Personally, I don't think he'll ever become a good player, but how bad did he have to look in practice that the Nets have given up on him already? I know Mikhail Prokhorov really wanted a superstar and all, but damn, the kid is a rookie. Oh well, I guess he looked at Andrew Bynum and all the other guys people always say have potential that never pan out and said fuck it.
2) Hawks & Wizards Swap Bibby & Hinrich
Here are the details:
Hawks get: Kirk Hinrich and Hilton Armstrong
Wizards get: Mike Bibby, Jordan Crawford, Maurice Evans, and a first-round pick
I understand why the Hawks would do this trade, but why would the Wizards? They get Mike Bibby, 2 scraps, and a late first-rounder in a weak draft. How did they improve exactly?
3) Carmelo, Billups Help Knicks Get A Win In NY Debut
Sadly they had to make their debut in those wack Knicks throwback jerseys, but other than that, it was a pretty good night. Melo hit 27 and grabbed 10 boards (though he took 25 shots and only made 10) while Billups chipped in with 21 points and 8 assists.

Carmelo Finally A Knick
Knicks get: Carmelo Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman.
Nuggets get: Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov, the Knicks' 2014 first-round draft pick, the Warriors' 2012 second-round pick, the Warriors' 2013 second-round pick and $3 million in cash.
Poor Michelle Trachtenberg. If I'm the Knicks I'm overall happy right now. Yeah, we just got rid of our 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 12th best players AND won't have any room to bring any new pieces around our new players over the summer, but you got Carmelo. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters right? Right. Welp, hopefully Amare has more than a season or 2 left in those knees.
Aight, see ya in Miami Sunday, Melo.
(Side note: Jay-Z might wanna miss Mikhail Prokhorov's next few phone calls and lay low for awhile.)

Nuggets Trade Iverson To Piston For Billups & McDyess
Welp, this was out of the blue. I heard a story about A.I.'s future on ESPN.com, but I didn't think it'd end with him being traded...and to the Pistons, of all teams. What were the Pistons thinking?? Why would you trade 2 starters for one?? Just flat out stupid. Denver just got a lot better, but I think Detroit is probably about the same, if not worse.
I guess we'll see how this all ends up, but I don't think A.I. is the answer to get Detroit back over the hump.
Welp, I wonder what number A.I. is gonna wear because Rodney Stuckey already wears #3 lol.
