So after years of "Stuckey is not a PG" suddenly he's the answer at the position? Please. Andre Drummond is the key to that second unit. Take him out and CV, Bynum, Daye and Stuckey will go right back to sucking.

Actually he still isn't a point guard, but he's most effective with the ball in his hands. and Drummound is the key to winning, however Bynum's chemistry with Drummond is the key to the second unit. When teams fall a sleep and help to much on either of the 2 ,Daye and CV's shooting ability makes them pay.

I think Stuckey did a good job replicating that chemistry on the second unit before he went down. As I recall, he was getting most of his assists feeding Dre. The starting lineup does need a jolt, but I'd prefer it not come in the same form as the one that started the season - a shooter who will actually shoot without needing a pump fake would do nicely.

Actually i agree Stuckey did a real nice job of replicating the chemistry on the 2nd unit. however, we also need a secondary ball handler in the 1st unit to help knight. Stuckey provides that. The nice thing about singler is that he can play both.

i think we are a better team having Knight play off ball initially and then as second unit comes in with singler, rotate him to PG. This way Knight plays with a SG that suits him more while playing the point, Stuckey remains effective longer having the ball in his hands and doesn't have to battle for touches with Bynum.

Bump

We're now 5.5 out, but Boston just lost Sullinger as well. I think they're on the verge of blowing it up.

I'm not sure if its good that we were able to stay about the same distance from the 8th seed for a whole month, or bad that in a whole month we couldn't make any progress to get closer to the 8th seed. :dontknow:

As for the poll, we ended up winning 6 games in Jan
