Hopefully Flip will feel something pop too soon, and his brain will start working again.

Just a side note, Indiana play Charlotte tomorrow which will mean they play two teams in a row coming off 3OT games.

I disagree. This is a good opportunity for CB to get some rest and for the team to explore it's depth. Can Flip Murray play PG on this team and win games? Does Will Blalock have any more to offer? Can Lindsey Hunter make a comeback?

Remember in the Austin Powers movie when Scott Evil tries to say something to his dad Dr. Evil, and he gets "Zip it". "Zip it". over and over?

I had a point but I forgot it.

Oh yeah, that's like McDyess picking up fouls.

Foul. Foul. Foul-Foul. Foul.

I didn't see this game. After 2+ seasons, I don't need to in order to say that McDyess when matched up on a superior offensive player, just starts hacking like a madman.

Thank you for another great season!

I'm with Roscoe.

Chauncey needs to work on his conditioning.

Just think.

If CB would have played this past summer in the World Games he would be through about now if he really has a problem with his conditioning!

I agree with both Roscoe & Tashawn... we'll get a real look at Blalock (Kgregs boy) and we could lose more games at the same time.... but this is a necessary excersise for Joe to see what his prospects are made of... hopefuly it doesn't cost us a playoff seed.
Now what happens if we go on a winning streak with Chaucey out... hmmmm?

What happens is you count your depth and move on. CB is the PG and if someone takes charge then more chow fer yer coin. More bang for your buck. Or maybeeee, Flip Saunders learns he's got a bench?
The Pistons and injury problem go together like the Lions and championship, no? Kander gets paid for this.

Now what happens if we go on a winning streak with Chaucey out... hmmmm?"
Wonderful !

We go on a losing streak when he returns. What else???

Blalock has TWO baskets this year. He is averaging 5 assists per 40 minutes. Chauncey is averaging about 9! FG% is 45 to 22.

Other teams will make an adjustment when Blalock is playing against their starters. Everything will dry up for him if he can't provide some sort of offense himself. Right now he is a "single threat" point guard with passing being his only weapon. If he can't shoot, then he needs to drive and finish.

Maybe he can score, but he hasn't shown it. I hope he's about to unveil it.

Excellent observation Tashawn.

Perhaps, Blalock is trying extra hard not to make any mistakes and his primary responsibilty was to distribute the ball.

With CB out hopefully he will get the green light from Flip and the confidence to score. His greatest asset is to go to the basket, as he seems to have some quickness along with his handle.

If he can do that Detroit has the advantage because teams will have to adjust to him.
