Pistons vs Knicks 7:30pm; Tank Without Frank

Goldtop · Post #1 » by **Goldtop** » Wed Mar 6, 2013 6:47 pm

Frank is out tonight, Hill replacing him on the bench. No Frank, but the Tank rolls on, as Monroe and CV may both sit out too. No way we win if Maxiell/Jerebko is our starting frontcourt. :lol:

L. Frank (personal matter) out. Brian Hill coaching tonight. Monroe tweaked ankle, gametime decision. CV (sore left hamstring) gametime

Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill
If Monroe is out, Maxiell will start at Center and Jerebko at power forward. #Pistons

We need to lose this game...

There was drama after our last game with Monroe....I wonder if this "injury" is a P.R. spin on him being asked to sit this game -- ie an in-house suspension.

Can any of the older posters here tell me anything about coach Hill? Was he an elite coach in his time with the Magic or was his Finals trip more so due to having two incredible players and a good supporting cast?

Just out of curiosity.

Lets play a competitive game Pistons...I'm looking for a big time game from Knight...Hopefully Monroe and Drummond play tonight...

Just out of curiosity.

hes a master salesman and very liked. He was never an elite coach. In many ways he underachieved only reaching the Finals once with 3 allstars and 2 borderline allstars.

No Drummond or Monroe. No point in watching this one.

Only thing that could make this more unwatchable is if I cant find any Blaha/Kelser streams, and have to listen to Clyde Frazier and Mike Breen for a 4th time this year.

Agree. Tonight's feature: Knight and the D-Leaguers.

Knicks by 25

wtf why does Knicks coverage always dominate all the streams? Every game this year, there hasn't been 1 Pistons feed, but like a dozen Knicks ones. They dominate us in everything, on the court and in illegal online streams lol

“(Frank) has to take care of some family matters, and we wish him well and whatnot,” guard Rodney Stuckey said. “B. Hill will step up and take his role, and we’ll see what we can do.”

locker room issues?

Well and whatnot. sounds like he's saying wish him well but not really

Eek, could just be he's not especially eloquent...but usually Rodney handles the media better than that. Doesn't sound good at all.

Does Knight split every time he goes to the line? My goodness...
