I think everything will be fine, but hopefully if its not falling for Stuckey then Frank will have the guts to give whoever comes of the bench (singler) extended time if they are playing well. The 2 guard spot is too important for how the offense runs to have a bad night. We have a 1 game sample size but that position(SG) having a good night leads to the Pistons having a much greater chance of winning the game. You could say that about every position, but we dont have talent at the other positions other than Monroe that could have a monster game that could lead to an easy victory.

Gay scoring or straight scoring is irrelevant to the Stuckey argument. ;)

When Rudy Gay hits at least half his shots and attempts more than 2 free throws, the Grizz are 0-1. When he doesn’t, they are 6-0. Does that mean that Gay scoring efficiently hurts the team? No.

There is some merit to what you are saying, but it is not an open and shut case as you would like to present it.

With Singler starting- undefeated Pistons

With Sluggy starting- 0% winning percentage.

Am I missing something here?

Right dude, he’s gonna pretend to be sick after playing his best game of the season, I don’t think so. Frank is doing the right thing, you miss a game because you have “flu like symptons”, nobody said he had the flu, you come back to your same role, every coach in the league would have done the same thing.

I will add another point:
5. Stuckey coming off the bench might actually get him playing decent again. As a 6th man he will more than likely be coming on when there are 4 or 5 team fouls on the board so with the way he plays he will more than likely be shooting free throws by the time he draws a foul.

I agree what kind of flu was this to miss one day, and come back?? something is up, its just like me calling in sick one day for work, because it was inventory, but I am back the next day; this is straight BS! bench stuckey period…. hell if Micheal Jordan can play dam near exhaustion and about to pass out from the flu, because of the competitor in him, not to say stuckey is like jordan, but to play sick for 1 day, L Frank should be fired if does not change this right away; stuckey is struggling and he knows it, he just took a day off to get his mind right so to speak, he was never sick. Tom Gores I think a meeting is in order..

You’re probably right, considering he always shows up big when ppl start to doubt him, and esp against a team like ORL. The problem is once ppl stop doubting him he goes back to average at best Stuckey for the next 8 games after, until ppl start doubting him again. We can’t have a player who only plays good when he wants to.

This is a joke. Frank can never just leave well enough alone. He always has to overthink eveyrthing.

If they don’t win tomorrow with Stuckey, Frank is going to look like a complete fool.

Odds are they can beat ORL at home with Stuckey or Singler, but for the longterm its obvious who is the more consistent player and will help us win the most games over time.

This dedication to players based on salary needs to stop.

Stuckey will prove you all wrong tomorrow…
