He only sits during games, but not during practice or when fixing a flat tire on the way to the airport.

Flipper cracked a funny. Got to love it.

Maybe we can get him a job as a writer for Jay Leno, once the strike ends. LOL

Maybe "Ole Flipper" should be more concerned with looking more then 4 seats to his left during a game to find an answer. He is really starting to tick me off.

I can accept losing for the betterment of our young players (AJ, AA, Stucks and Max) and their development. I cannot accept losing because we played uninspired, sloppy basketball and the coach did not make a change.

I read it somewhere on the forum and it makes perfect sense. The motivation of the bench and the motivation of the starters is different. If you put the bench in a game where we have not been able to get over the hump and we are losing the "hustle" battles; they are more inclined to throw themselves all over the floor to make a difference.

USE THE FRICKIN' BENCH FLIP!!!!! Get something out of these losses except a black eye and a waste of time.

Re: At Houston Dec. 12th, 8:00 PM

you are acting here, like game was already lost. Btw, flip sr has used bench, but it hasn't worked as should, at least in the last two games.

A common mistake here is to presume, that somewhere are solutions in waiting, just use them. Your bench-savior dreams are just insane.

We know that the Pistons struggle against the legit centers. But how many Yaos are there in the NBA? Center position is not really an issue with this team.

Nope....not buying that one. I do not believe that there is some sort of "save the day" player sitting on that bench. The last two games the bench has done well. During the second half of last nights game we had 4 bench players and Sheed in the game they actually took the lead. FlipM (Mr Turnover) actually did well for us, except the 4 bricked FT's. This team went downhill when Mobley Rip came back into the game. Talk about the backcourt from hell, an over agressive Mobley Rip and Murray. The bench did well against Memphis but could not even get in during the 2nd half .....BULL!!!!!!

We had not lost to a team with a "legit" center all season until last night. For the record there was no center available that was better than Nazr, no way do I see guys like Raef LeFrentz or Etan Thomas as upgrades over Nazr.

Amir is being paid asif he was the 4th pick in the draft. He makes a lil less than Horford, and more than Yi and Noah. I just wish we played him as much as the Bulls play Noah. There is nobody that can convince me that AJ can't hold his own against Yi and Noah.
