I would be very surprised if Chauncey has that kind of sway.

If there is one thing I know it is that you have to stick up for your teammates. Billups is captain of the team. This gives Darko and hand full of confidence. The confidence will come with time and this will help.

To call this team arrogant is rediculous. Blue collar is all I have to say.

I'm a little surprised that this has been such a big deal. During the past year, team leaders like Ben and Chauncey and Sheed have all gone out of their way to say positive things about what Darko has shown in practice. They've also talked about how hard Larry can be, even on established vets like Billups and Hamilton. So it was there between the lines, many times. And you've GOT to believe that Joe Dumars knew all about the feelings of guys like Chauncey, but told them to keep a lid on it during the season. And what Joe says goes in the Pistons' organization. Period.
