I like them both. I think they compliment eachother really well. AA with the defense and extra ball handling. Stuckey with the quickness/scoring ability. They are both great at pushing the break.

I think they balance eachother out well, and AA just improves the defense so much.

If Flip is having a problem playing them together then he really needs to go back back to the Rip/Stuck, and then Chauncey/AA rotation. Worked beautifully, and put both players with the vet they play best with.

edited to add;

ORL lost tonight, with a win tomm we keep pace.

They seemed to work well for most of the season.

I pick Stucky myself. I believe he will be a very special player. AA will be solid and may even start if he improves his shot but Stucky has shown signs of greatness.

As in the last game. Two Sixer guards move in to pressure him in the backcourt, try and bully the rookie. Stucky responds by blowing past them both and running the length of the court for a wide open layup.

That play was great! For most of the rest of the Pistons I think the goal would have been to simply advance the ball across midcourt, but Stuckey was heading to the rack.

IMO against this Sixers squad we should be using CB/Rip/Stuckey and maybe a little AA in the backcourt, but then have AA spell Tay at SF for 8 to 10 mins. Let AA take on the task of defending AI2.

I completely agree. As we advance into the later rounds; AA may be a little over matched so we should be using him as much as possible in the early rounds to help keep Tay fresh.

He did a great job staying in front of him, granted it was maybe two possessions, but i think that would work. AI2 doesn't really post up so it's not like he'll overpower him, and if Afflalo can stay with LBJ, he can stay with Iggy.

Did we have Afflalo guard LeBron at some point this year? I must have forgotten about that game.

Yes and he did quite well. He is quick enough to keep him in front (for the most part) and big enough not to get plowed over.

I'm beat, it's going to be a real challenge to stay awake for this one.

Hopefully we blow them out early!

Hopefully that's not what the starters are thinking!
