If the Pistons plan on playing Zone, look for Wallace and Richardson to make back door cuts to the basket for 48 minutes.

Image

Wallace & Billups: Well, Rasheed is having monster games as of late. Plus he always seems to get open for 3's. Billups will kills us because McInnis can't defend his post up. Plus with Felton heath a maybe, look for him to explode.

I hope they get warm responses from the crowd.

Grant Hill was treated like crap when he returned to Orlando. A fan yelled " F@#$ You Grant during the National Anthem.

But then again Charlotte is a nicer city than Orlando.

I think with the financial contribution that Orlando made to Hill, only for him to constantly be injured, essentially nullifying any possible success Orlando could have during his tenure, makes it much more reasonable for an Orlandinian to heckle Hill.

Charlotte folks maybe felt like they wasted their time with Brezec, but Herrmann at least ought to be in the clear.

which is why i will NEVER buy a wallace jersey.

i'm thinking my next purchase will be a mcinnis jersey. except it will say McMINUS on the back. i wonder if the curse works when you are making fun of a player?

definitely not. He'll probably play well enough in the 2nd half to convince mngmnt to resign him!

Missed whatever Stephanie Ready was saying, Dudley, Carroll, Richardson, Wallace, Okafor starting, did she say anything else important?

Okay, Felton and McInnis in street clothes, did you guys see McInnis? Ammo looks pretty lonely these days, like a prebreakout Herrmann.

We have NO PGs for tonight?

That should be interesting. Maybe a good thing in the long-run, if it ends up forcing management to bring in another PG. I guess Anderson isn't even available?

5 of our 14 players sitting out, another good Detroit game where we get to evaluate talent.

So Wallace was the only player allowed to dribble for the entire quarter. I'd say we have a glaring team weakness
