Billups Reports No Injury Setbacks, Hopes to Be More Aggressive
In the DETROIT FREE PRESS, Chris Silvia writes "Chauncey Billups said he was hopeful. Not hopeful that he will be healthy, which he said he is, but hopeful that he will do the things he normally does during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Celtics tonight. 'I will look to, probably, be a lot more aggressive and try to see if I can do that,' Billups said before Wednesday's practice at Emerson College. In Game 1, Billups saw his first action in nearly two weeks, since straining his right hamstring in Game 3 against Orlando. He finished with nine points and two assists."
In the arena that night, the whole last minute was drowned out by cheers — and then when the soaring music swelled, the confetti rained down as the harbinger of balloons and the hopeful first family took the stage, forget about it — it was a perfect end to a convention that last Monday, no one even knew if it would happen. But it did, and I'm so glad to have been there.

extremely dangerous Category 4 storm on Sunday and was forecast
to sweep into the central Gulf of Mexico as a large and
powerful storm echoing Hurricane Gustav.
