Such a simple explanation. Thank goodness Flip isn't going off the deep end like we feared.

Of course he wouldn't announce it, becuase it would give the other team an advantage in their preparation (not that they needed it).

Re: Amir Johnson - Detroit Piston Tracker

Let the conspiracy theories fly...they're covering for the coach! Flip spiked Amir's food!

If a simple head cold is indeed the explanation, I hope people will chill out a bit about Flip reverting to form or whatever. But I would still agree that there wouldn't have been any harm in actually informing the fans after the game about Amir having been too sick to play.

Flip was merely testing us to see how loyal we are. We failed miserably. Now, we have lost his respect and have to earn it back.

Speak for yourself. My confidence in the Flipster never wavered.

Oh really?

I asked "Will Flip Saunders win Coach of the Year?" and the Magic 8-ball said "My sources say no."
I guess that was more the 8-ball's sources wavering and not you?

They really need to. McCosky (sp?) just wrote "no reason was given", and since he is the Piston's mouthpiece you would assume he would be "in the know".

If that was the case, i take back all the not so nice words i said about Flip regarding Amir. Now i can go back to only being annoyed about his coaching (choking) tactics in the 4th

That was all the Magic 8-Ball. I am rarely on the same wavelength with the 8-Ball. I just posted that strictly for the amusement of all the Flip haters.

Nice research by you, though.

"I'm looking to be the garbage man," Johnson said. "Sort of like what Ben Wallace did when he was here. I'm looking to get all the rebounds blocked shots, loose balls. Everything."
That's what I like to hear.
