Wallace, who scored 17 points and grabbed 10 boards, will miss the Pistons' game Sunday at the Los Angeles Clippers. He thinks the team can do just fine without him for a game.
"We're still going to go out there and play Pistons basketball," he said. "We still got guys who can play. I ain't worried about (missing the game)." |
Yeah he still doesn't get it though. I know he was upset about Hunter's suspension, but now to shoot his mouth off
and draw a suspension tech over some questionable calls when you are already a man down on a critical road trip is not what a veteran team player does.
I mean didn't he notice that the team struggled earlier this month when he sat out mending his ankle?? It is not about missing money out of his pocket. Its about the fans who want to see their whole team playing when they shell mucho $$$ out of their pocket only to find out that a key player is sitting at the hotel bar watching it due to uncontrolled anger.
