2/Playoff experience, Dice does not need 42 minutes of PO experience

3/We suck. We are about to get swept out of the PO's. We are rebuilding. It would be nice to really get a look at the young pieces.

4/They care. They fight. And they are not willing to get pushed around. They play defense. They foul.

5/I don't like watching LBJ alley-oop the entire team
Ok, why not? But only for spits and giggles.

My point is only that there is no way in hades they win. But yeah,it isn't like the regular starters have more than a snowball's chance anyhow.

Re: Detroit April 24 7pm Round 1 Game 3

This was from the paper after game 2:

Quote:
After the way the Pistons bench played in the fourth quarter of Game 2, cutting a 29-point deficit to seven with less than four minutes to play, Michael Curry might use his reserves a bit more.

Specifically, Curry said he'd try to pair up a younger big men, such as Amir Johnson or Jason Maxiell, with an older big such as Rasheed Wallace or Antonio McDyess.
As has been the case with Curry all year, he verbalizes a philosophy and then does something totally different when he actually gets on the sidelines.

In actuality, here is how his gameplan played out.

Q1-
Curry started the tired and true, Sheed + Dyess.

He subbed Max in for Dyess and packaged Max+Sheed for a whopping 1:56.

Then, he subbed Dyess right back in the game and went with Dyess+Max for 2:37.

Q2-
Curry abandoned his gameplan and went with a surprise small ball attack. Instead of pairing a young big man with a vet, MC decided to go with this unit:
PG- Bynum
SG- Stuckey
SF- Rip
PF- Herrmann
C- Maxiell

Maybe the shortest 5-man unit put on the court at the same time in the NBA this year?

This new invention was tested for 4:50.

After that, MC realized that he was deviating too much from his plan and he went back to the Dyess+Maxiell pairing for...

...

...

26 seconds.


Then he ended the young big man + vet experiment.

That's your opinion. Their productiveness on the court shows otherwise. And all those reasons still hold.

What productiveness? LMAO

I guess we are going to trade them all for starters because surely the coaches and GM's around the league noticed their "productiiveness".

Yup, that's it. They didn't single-handedly get us back from an almost 30 point deficit in Game 3.

LBJ guarded Will Bynum b/c he sucks.

AA had no effect on the game whatsoever. That 2nd quarter was trivial.

Kwame was so useless in the games before he had to be benched for this one.

Amir actually stood up to LBJ, fouled hard, and was a defensive whirlwind. Can't have that.

I'm so glad we stuck to the rotation. This series was a pleasure to watch. I hope to see many more games where Dyess and Sheed play 42 minutes. I also greatly enjoy LBJ dunking on the team. It's great that Tay and Sheed were so accomodating in getting out of his way. I wish i too can go to the palace and chant MVP.

Apparently, Joe's got alot of work b/c according to you every young guy on this team sucks.

Yes. Joe has a lot of work to do. No, they don't suck. They're OK, but most are not starter material. At least they play with intensity unlike our current starters. Cleveland had us beat. They took their foot off the gas. I'd like to see most of the bench return, unlike the starters. But i want to see them get more time..from the bench. I odubt they would do much as a starting unit.

i'll be there sunday watching us get swept. the pistons don't wanna travel back to cleveland.
I was sitting directly in front of the guy that got his eye blew out....He was with of 6 or 7 Cavs fans that were talking smack all night (specifically about the arena & fans), eventually the 2 guys behind them had enough of it (between the 3rd and 4th quarters). The guy with his shirt off and the messed up face was talking the most and at the beginning of the game he was saying "we're going to get in a fight tonight..." and "the guys behind us stop talkin'" - after a Lebron dunk. Anyway, that was the highlight of the night for me. Besides the great seats with all you can drink (beer or wine) and eat for $79 bucks

Some of the Cavs fans were pretty funny and gave me and a friend a beer, but you just dont go to another city and run your mouth like they were doing. It's just ignorant and they were asking for it.
