Denver Oct 17 7PM

These guys again. This one is going to be played in Grand Rapids.

Rip is not expected to play due to an ankle sprain.

Saunders, who declined to say which games his starters will sit, understands the disappointment some fans might feel if their favorite player comes to town and doesn't play.
"That's why we've always gone where we don't just shut down a bunch of guys," Saunders said.
However, keeping players healthy throughout the preseason is a greater priority.
"You don't want to put yourself in harm's way," Saunders said. "So it's a fine line that you have to watch."

WTH?!

Rip's already injured. Hopefully ppl will sit or play Lim min.

Also Flip Murray is starting not Stuckey in place of Rip.

This move, starting Murray, is just going to seriously dampen fan enthusiasm. Just puts more fuel to the argument that many put forward that they don't believe Stuckey will actually get to play. Very bad PR move. Instead, they should be starting Stuckey, and thereby put a serious shout out to the world that this guy is worth coming to see play. I tell you, it was just one drive, but that one drive Stuckey did was a show in itself. (And he did several more in the previous games.) Advertise Stuckey if you want fans to actually show up for the games.

Maybe Saunders will try to implement his North Coast Offense and we'll finally get the dream starting lineup of:

1) Fitch
2) Hunter
3) Flip
4) Dupree
5) Nazr

I'm fine with Flip starting if it means we are leading up to his being traded.

I'm fine with ANYONE playing if they are pressuring other player's minutes.

Not directly related to the game, but NBA TV is showing an hour-long special on the 1990 Pistons title team just before it, from 6-7 Eastern time. I'm setting my DVR for that.
