Bad teams tend to inflate the stats of average players, making them look like the real deal. Name one playoff team Stuckey would be starting for right now? His skills might be superior to Derek Fisher, but he wouldn't get the starting job over him, due to to Fish's supreme leadership. And that's about it. You really think a player like that is the corner stone of the franchise? He seems to blame everybody but himself. I don't hate on Stuckey, he could very well be one of the best PGs in the game and I've often written he had all the tools, but just seldomly uses them. In regard to your second definitions. I'm really flattered that you know me well enough to know my private life opinions. I can't recall us ever talking privately about the Pistons, so, yeah ... I basically agree with Patrick.

Of course I will try to get clearer pictures! Unfortunately the quality largely depends on the internet connection and sometimes League Pass decides to give me bad quality. I will upgrade to the the Premium version next season. Thanks for the kind words though, I'm always open for criticism! Hi Jeremy! Of course I will try to get clearer pictures!
