vs Denver Nuggets Wednesday January 26 7:30 pm

Chauncey's only trip to the Palace this year. Hope he gives Rip some pep talk.

Detroit by 5.

Or beat some sense into him, whichever works. Going forward, especially in the playoffs, we are going to need Rip playing at the top of his game.

I agree with you Lee. I think Q needs to find a way to work Rip back into the rotation. I say start TMac/Rip with Stuckey/Gordon coming off the bench.

I'm not to fond of breaking up what we got now but I agree this is a big problem. Atleast give him some spot minutes until we start losing with the current rotations. We cannot have a $12M player whining on the bench/in the stands for years to come.

Actually, lately Rip's been looking more like a lost puppy.

I think Coach had found a lineup that works. We were begging him to switch things up...why would we want Rip back in the lineup? Just to make sure his feelings don't get hurt? Coach Q went out of his way to communicate with Rip about the situation...I mean he sent the head of security over to talk to him.


Let's hope the team keeps playing well tonight against Denver.

I couldn't agree more. I'd like to see Kuester start using the head of security to sub guys into the game and give the halftime interview instead of the assistant coaches.

Or takes him with him...

You guys are a trip! But if we could win this one ......... boy oh boy what a treat that would be, our second 3 game win streak and against 3 pretty good teams ta boot!

If the Nuggets win today, they'll have accomplished a feat that eluded them for 16 years.

Nuggets by 12.

I have to admit, I didn't see this recent streak of decent play coming. It's very refreshing. I don't think the Pistons Security guy gets enough credit.

Yeah Ok
Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton has flu, won't play vs. Denver Nuggets - ESPN

Oh no! Not the flu!! That will really mess up the rotations....

Q could actually use the popcorn vendor to relay messages to Rip.
...If he's not busy making deliveries to the GM/Pres. private box.

Pistons open up with a 9-0 lead. We need to milk the clock the rest of the game.

When I looked...10-10...ugggggh.

Guess he couldn't bare to see his BFF without crying or embarrassed that he can't play on the floor with him.....

Stuckey down now, so if he can't come back we will get an over use of Bynum...
