Interesting comments, but just an opinion from another casual Internet fan like you or I.

Krista Jahnke has good news about Amir Johnson in her Free Press blog:

“I think I feel pretty good,” Johnson said. “I think I’m about 95 percent. I’m getting up and down the floor, my jumping is not quite back but I’m able to work and work hard.”
Johnson said the pain in the ankle – which spread to the Achilles tendon and his bone – is nearly gone.
“Today was probably the first day you couldn’t tell if he was hurt or not,” small forward Tayshaun Prince said. “I think in the other practices you could tell he was hurt, limping up and down but trying to practice. This is the first day he looked in good shape.”

Flip Saunders agreed, noting that Wednesday was Johnson’s best practice since suffering the injury. It’s still unclear how quickly Johnson will crack the regular rotation — as previously noted, it may be awhile with Jason Maxiell playing so well — but count me among those fans eager to see Johnson square up against Tyrus Thomas, even if it’s for just a few minutes.

Well, if Flip gives Amir about 10 minutes I wouldn't mind.

Each half.

Each quarter.

Ideally, I'd like to see Amir just check himself into the game and then watch Flip accept it.

What about the guy that has to check out? Do you want him to just accept it also, or go down fighting in true Pistons tradition?

Dyess will subordinate himself to the new pack leader.

There’s a chance Saunders could throw Johnson in for a short spurt or two today in Chicago. But the team really eyes the upcoming trip out West – where playing style is a bit more open -- as perhaps the best initiation for Johnson.

“He continues to get a little bit better,” Saunders said. “We’d like to get him some minutes, but we’ll have to wait and see.”

KRISTA JAHNKE'S BLOG: Johnson '95%,' could play against Bulls

How about a short spurt of 10 mins per quarter?

I like Sherrod Blakely's comment on AJ's most recent progress.

Odds and ends: Amir Johnson looked like his old, high-flying, above-the-rim playing self during Tuesday's practice.
