This team is really something we fans should be proud of, even though I whine and cry when things are not going so good. 6 straight trips to the ECF is just an amazing stat of consistency at the very highest level. Wish we had a few ships to show for it.

GO PISTONS !

Right there, if he feels uncomfortable with Arvis and Walter he can just slide Rip over to the 3 for short stretches and put 2 out of Billups/Stuckey/Lindsey in the backcourt.

Or use spellcheck I guess.

Gotta/Have to/ Non optional to get Tay a legit backup at the 3 either through the draft or the Mid Level this season. We need a Michael Finley/James Posey type guy that you wouldn't think twice about giving 20 mins a game.

Spellcheck is a 2, and even a little short for a 2 in NBA terms.

We have seen it a few times and I expect to see it even more with the way stuckey is growing day by day... we'll see billiups hamiltion and stuckey 3 guards with two big man at times... depending on who the other team has on the floor.

Hunter played. Killed our offense for long stretches. Did nail a three to make up for a small part of that. [qoute] Lee 356

It wasn't Lenz fault. Or. killed our offense. Lenz was +7 last game and -3 this game. Everybody shot bad. Maxi was -7 and the rest of the bench wasn't any better.
Lenz didn't hurt this team this series. Can't drill on a guy if he's doing good.
After all he/we've been through aren't you glad we have Lenz. If Bup-Bup can't go in next round. i'll take my chances with Lenz.

Hmmmmm...

ohhhh kaaayyy.

Just like last year, a once-proud basketball team going Code Blue is never a pretty sight.

Believe what you will. Me, I believe Afflalo could have taken those same minutes, and gave us a lot more. If you want to defend Hunter, you could mention he took the ball up the court well, as he always does. But that I put in last game report.

ok

You did notice how ball scoring he was the last ten games of the season.
It's like some one told him to score...I don't know who...but it shocked a lot of us.

Well, I'm just glad Afflalo got some playing time in game 5. He will be ready for next year.

What happends if they actually get a PF next year. Battie was out, I don't know how that would have effected the series.

Take the win and move on I guess.
