sorry for offending you with my iphone dictation mistakes... ok genius here's your link from left field, why Greg Monroe should never play a minute on the court with the exact player he requested to play with: http://www.nba.com/pistons/features/truebluepistons_120629.html David said. “We wanted him to know how much he’s wanted by the team at nine, not only from Joe and myself, but from numerous players. Greg Monroe asked me about him back in February about getting the chance to play with him and some of our younger players had asked about him.

Exactly and if it means being the ginobli, Gordon, or Harden role fine hell all of them guys were sucessful in their 6th man role let him try it on this west coast trip let him earn his spot back by having him come off the bench.

Yeah, but this is Prince and Stuckey we’re talking about here. Mr. Buffoonery and Sir Mutiny. I’d hate to think this is the case, but Stuck does tend to pout when he doesn’t get his way. Stuck’s quote may be more diplomatic, but they’re both saying the same thing at the heart of it. I don’t want to watch this team go back to same old, same old. We’ve tried that and failed.

Also, this is simply continuing a trend from the end of last season for Stuckey. No effort on D, passive on O.

I’d rather to see BK/English/JJ/Monroe/Drummond line up.

i i wish the fox sports had ran more of the interview. in the above-linked video, they edited it just before someone asked about stuckey and what was going on with him. imho, that was much more interesting than the part they decided to go with.
i am almost certain that he said “coaches” and not “staff” when he made the original statement. not sure if he said something else to goodwill when he used “staff”, but my ears perked up when i heard the original statement right after the game. considering prince’s history, i don’t think it is at all inconsistent with what he’s done and said in the past.

Rodney Stucket doesn’t need more touches because he is shooting 1-22 and he has a migraine

you’re missing my point…. Knight doesn’t look free or comfortable in this offense…. and when Bynum comes in he looks more free….

I recall reading that as well. It was in either a Detroit News of Free Press article like the day after Drummond was drafted, part of an interview with Dumars on how the last minute workout with Drummond pre-draft had gone. It was, reportedly, one of the reasons Drummond was so pleased to go to Detroit rather than Toronto (he started crying after Toronto passed on him, knowing he was going to a team where both the players and front office wanted him there).

I know a lot of people talked about Singler as a stretch four, I wonder if he has the chops to play shooting guard? He couldn’t possibly do any worse at it than Stuckey has been.

Knight/Singler/Jerebko/Monroe/Drummond might not win any championships, but they couldn’t be a less competitive lineup than what we’ve been fielding.
