i'm still holding out hope that brown continues to coach detroit in the next nba season...

however, if they part, i REALLY hope this is not due to chauncy billups being at odds with brown...

i remember that was the reason why brown left the sixers in the first place; ai constantly showed up to practices late...

i mean, chauncy's had tremendous odds trying to play as a point guard to get people involved, but i think he's really trying... he acknowledges that everytime after the two get into heated arguments... and everytime the pistons get a win, you see just how valuable he can be as a scorer and a person who sets up his team's offense. not to mention his great defense and modest attitude.

flip is not a bad coach, in fact he's a GREAT coach... i believe that... but you do have to believe if brown leaves and he comes to detroit, that he will have some big shoes to fill...
