Detroit Pistons vs LA Clippers Friday November 27 8:00 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Nat'l TV: Radio: 950 WWJ
So the starting 5 will probably be this one: Stuck Daye JJ CV Ben Look for Stuckey to play 40 min and go 5 of 40. Go Pistons!?
Look at the Spurs. When your best players are injured, you just can't compete. It will really sink it when we get Rip and Tay back and we are still losing!
I had low expectations this year. If they play hard and lose by 20 points every night, I am ok with it. With Rip and Tay out, Sheed and Dice gone, this is like a completely new team.
Got a few posts up on my blog Ben Gordon officially out, Daye to start The Oakland Press Blogs: Pistons' Point: Gordon out for Friday Tayshaun Prince update The Oakland Press Blogs: Pistons' Point: Prince making progress And the normal game preview for the Clippers The Oakland Press Blogs: Pistons' Point: Clippers at Pistons preview
He has played shooting guard this season. Not a lot though. Even when it seems the most logical thing to do, coach finds a way to move him back to small forward. In the last few games, coach has saw fit to go big more, and now of course, he is almost forced to. But this is a rookie coach with no clue. Look for Atkins to play major minutes, rather than develop Daye at shooting guard. Yes, I do hope I am wrong. I hope I'm wrong. Please let me be wrong.
Why would you think Atkins would get major minutes? He hasn't been playing at all. Daye has played 149 minutes this season, Atkins 16.
That was a decent game until the coverage cut out. Jerebko and Daye were looking very nice. Bynum with 9 assists, but another terrible night shooting with 4-17. Stuck hitting his jumper for 3 quarters and also getting to the rim a bunch. Special K called him out on forcing it when he could be passing though. "At some point he has to realize that the whole team is guarding him and someone has to be open." And vintage Ben Wallace scooping up any rebound in his vicinity.
Stuckey simply feels an obligation to "save my motherland". I guess, he calms down once Rip and Tay are back: instead of forcing things there will be rip and tay for plays.
We took 29 more shots than they did. We should at least get a one-half victory for that. 96 points on 91 shots...sounds good to me...
I'm getting tired of the "Gun & Run" style of play. I'm really happy becouse we could saw what Daye and JErebko can do.. I'm extremelly proud of having Big Ben in this team who steals 10 offensive rebounds against Kaman and Camby. (Finished with 16 rebounds) But i'm really sad becouse the 3-17 from Bynum.. Charlie VIllanueva shooting 1-6 from 3p And the 58.7% from FG of the CLippers (That SHOWS our lack of defense) We got NO CHANCE Against Atlanta this Sunday.. :(
