Chauncey Billups out for Game 4 | Freep.com | Detroit Free Press

It is official: billups out, stuckey starts

Best news I've heard all day. Since I'd eliminated the possibility of him being healthy enough to be effective from my mind already.

Go home 2-2 at worst or a back breaking 3-1 lead with a healthier C$ ready to go for game 5.

It's pretty moot since we won, but Stuckey wasn't completely terrible. Although he did have 5 fouls, he didn't have any turnovers, and had a few assists and 6 points.

The fouls will go down with experience. If we need to, we can start him again on Tuesday.

Solid non implosive minutes are a big contribution from a Rookie on the road.

Think about how much more we are going to get out of he and Max at the palace.


See that girl at 31 flavors knew what she was talking about.

The things i noticed about Stuckey is that they play off him when he doesn't have the ball and that changes the defensive spacing but he had generally good open floor decisions and crisp swing passes. He kept getting called for the whistle but i am not sure if it was because of the matchup zone thing, bad calls or bad feet.

I think he got a lot of Rookie fouls. A few of those he was just following his man to the hoop and still got called. No respect.

Do we start him at home and give CB another night off? Seems like the smart thing to do if we can win without him?

he shows tons of potential to be a tremendous defender.

Reminds me a lot of how Charlie Bell was @ MSU, so strong.

Plus his J has been a very pleasant surprise with it's range and consistency.

Next year he could be very special, and we might actually get the full 4 years of value out of Chauncey if we can limit his mins.
