CB probably will not play.

Start Stuckey, but alternate him quickly with Dixon with a devil mix-match with Tay at point....geesh, did I really say that! The key for Dixon, is to understand the movement flow and counter-balance RIP...15-20 footers all night. Rip and Dixon are the best two players who need little room to get their shots. At 6-7, Rip has the better ability to get closer, but Dixon will spread those wings, especially the free-floater Lewis. This is one of the keys: to take Lewis out toward the 20 ft. line and away from rebounding.

Dixon has big time confidence when it matters. If he gets hot, then Flip has the easiest job of coaching that night. And Dixon can finish!

Good ideas P99 but Lenz can handle DooDo and Nelson.

Billups looked good in shoot-around today, according to Joe D.


ESPN - Billups participates in shootaround; Dumars thinks he'll play - NBA

I think it should be Arnie's call. Anything less than 95% with ANY chance of re-aggravating it and he should stay in the sport-coat.

It's about winning a championship not just a series.

nice joe dumars interview to tide you over until gametime:

Pistons need to finish them off. I forgot how much i disliked Van Gundy. I really don't want to hear him say anything else, unless it's an exit interview.

Totally. Let's not be short sighted here. If he's not 100% then it gives the other team a bull's eye to aim for, Chauncey's mobility. Besides I really think we should be able to end this series and beat Orlando in our house tonight. And if not, well we'll have to play more game(s). Yeah it would be nice to get some rest, but on the other hand what if we re-injure Chauncey AND lose the game. That's the worst case scenario.

Arnie should decide. Chauncey should not decide. Flip should not decide. And Arnie should decide that the healing priority is more important in the long run for this team's professed goals....A CHAMPIONSHIP.

We don't reallly want Chauncey struggling with his hamstring against Rajon Rondo, do we? No we need him to be tip-top shape.

P.S. Those bright red X's across the top of my screen are SMOKIN' HOT!!!!

Thats the one statement i have seen nothing in reference too... we have all heard about him working to get ready, and everybody here keeps saying sit him out so he doesn't reinjure it....

But I have yet to see from the team or Billiups that there is any risk of reinjury.... did anybody notice it?

For sure not.

got to love the media.... the article you linked has dumars saying he thinks he'll play but the headline of the article says he won't lol
