Rodney Stuckey 2. Richard Hamilton/Ben Gordon 3. Tayshaun Prince 4. Greg Monroe 5. Ben Wallace Bench 1. Will Bynum 2. BG/Austin Daye 3. T-mac/A.Daye 4. Charlie V 5. J. Max/C. Wilcox (when back from injury) As a result we have 3 guys who can back Ben Wallace and Monroe..Charlie, Max, and Wilcox...and DAye can play the 4 if the coach wants on the second unit if they wanted to do: Bynum,BG,T-mac, Daye, Charlie. But not on the first unit. The first unit needs to set the defensive tone right from the beginning of the game. We are allowing teams to score almost 100 points a game on us..every night. Thats ridic. This is how dynamic our line-up can be by making the simple move of Daye coming off the bench and Monroe starting alongside Ben Wallace.

Starting Austin Daye..puts us at a disadvantage every single night..and allows teams to run..as we cannot get rebounds. Yes we are winning now, but this 4-game road trip will really determine how we stand for the rest of the season. You state why Ben Wallace is out during the fourth quarter every game. Because he is working his butt out there in the first quarter..bcuz he gets no help. Austin Daye is a good player..but I'm not convinced that he is a 4..he can definitely be a lot better at 2 or 3..taking advantage of his height. I've said this before..and will again..we need to start Greg Monroe at the 4 along Ben Wallace. Yes he's young and only 20. But he's been right behind Ben W. in terms of rebounds, and he can score. When he is starting...both ben and monroe can set screens for rip, in order to get open, stuckey can feed the ball to monroe in the post, who can finish..with a jumper.. or use his passing skills to find an open man. This will also allow Ben Wallace to get more free..and save up his energy for offensive rebounds..as was the case..when Rasheed Wallace took care of the offense in the post. With Daye..we have four outside shooters and a center who is the only one who crashes the paint for rebounds..and is too slow to get back on defense..so we get burned by every team we play..in the transition. Kuester wants Monroe to come off the bench and replace Ben W....where the hell has Jason Max been then..start him w/ Ben W. We use to start him with Rasheed when Ben left. But Monroe's offensive game exceeds Maxiell's. We could start Charlie, but then who scores for us off the bench with Gordon. As much as last year was a big disappointment with injuries. Injuries to Chris Wilcox and JJ has really messed up our defensive hopes. This Piston team can easily be winning the Central Division right now..with the Cavs leading at 3-3, just look at the way we lost to NJ, OKL, and Chicago. We can still do it..but not by playing small every single game. It has to be done DIFFERENTLy. I don't know when Kuester will realize this. Maybe when we are out of the playoffs again. Really frustrating to be a Piston fan right now..I really wanted the Pistons to start strong and not have to chase back to .500 every two or three games..but again they have put themselves in that position. Stuckey and Gordon have been the scoring MVPs in late stretches right now..and should be the backcourt for the Pistons. And Rip should be traded for a good scoring rebounding center....but sadly that isn't available right now. What did Utah do when they lost Carlos Boozer they added Al Jefferson. What did we do when we lost Rasheed..brought Ben Wallace back..and played bad enough to get a 7th draft pick..that we haven't even developed in training camp or preseason..to make sure he is ready to start in the NBA like Favors in NJ.

He actually has a decent stroke.   and let me point out that Austin Daye hit key baskets at the start of the game and in the third quarter to prevent Golden State runs. Those baskets were clutch. i guess you cannot argue with Q after Rip plays like that but i still prefer the Stuckey/Gordon Will/Rip bakcourt pairings. But everybody moved the ball tonight. Nobody, except maybe Prince who is a little bit of a black hole, was selfish. I expect Monroe to get better at the line. He actually has a decent stroke.
