Chauncey Billups was arrested on Thursday. I don’t know where your mind went when you heard that the FBI had the Trail Blazers’ head coach in handcuffs, but my mind sifted through the wreckage of the last 25 years.

Yellow Hummer? Dog fighting? Drag racing on Broadway Street? That airport metal detector? What else?

You’re Charlie Brown, trying to kick a football.

Your NBA franchise is Lucy, yanking it back at the last instant.
