Pistons vs Mavericks 7:30pm

[Q00]

The beatwriters are hinting at possible lineup changes tonight

David Mayo ‏@David_Mayo 2h
Cheeks: Considering starting lineup change(s) more lately. Wouldn't say if that will come tonight.

Vincent Goodwill ‏@vgoodwill 1h
From Mo Cheeks comments, wouldn't be surprised if lineup changes are in store...maybe even tonight vs Dallas #Pistons

Lineup changes? Finally josh smith will play his natural position... At point guard

[princeofpalace]

Knowing Cheeks, we will see Monroe playing 25 mins off the bench while Smith plays 40 minutes and shoots 8-24.

Based on some of the comments lately, I think its going to be a KCP for Stuckey swap in the starting lineup. Goodwill is betting on this move too according to his twitter account. IMO, if he makes this move first he is in denial that he doesn't need to break up the three bigs.

This would be a laughable move. Why make our spacing worse?

[DETermination]

Yes because kcp is the one player who needs to be taken out of the starting lineup. His defense hasn't helped us at all anyways..

[paQo the BAWSER]

HAHAHAHAHAHA coming from Cheeks I wouldn't surprise, but KCP is the only who can prevent Monta Ellis f**ks to us tonight.

RIP team defense if lineup changes is true with Stuck being a starter.

If all Cheeks does is change KCP for Stuckey then I might be done with this team.

Not only would it make us even worse defensively, which is the biggest issue here, but it would turn us into even more of a 1 on 1 offense with even less ball movement.

Stuckey needs to be starting, but in place of Monroe, not KCP.

Stuckey is not a bad defender,hes actually pretty good.My problem with stuck starting is because kcp seems to be getting better every game on the offensive side and I would hate to kill his momentum.Cheeks needs to grow a pair and move moose to the bench and start singler at the 3 at least for now until we can replace him for a starting quality sf so he can move back to the bench.

[Spider156]

Bench Drummond! If he does this, it's he right move. He has my support. We all know Drummond plays better with Bynum and there floor stretchers.

I agree Stuckey's not a bad defender, but I think KCP might be better right now. Its a lateral move at best defensively, but offensively it turns us into even more of a one on one team with even less room to operate. Above all though is it ignores the main issue which is Monroe/Smith defensively being out of position.

Stuckey starting would put Cheeks right there with Patton and Rommel as a great tank commander

I can't like this post enough. Maybe he really is trying to tank? I mean, what's it to him if he's paid to make the team suck, right?

[dVs33]

If either KCP or Monroe are heading to the bench i'm not sure i can watch anymore

[Q00]

Mayo says no lineup change tonight.

It should either be

Jennings
Stuckey
Caldwell-Pope
Smith/Monroe
Drummond/Monroe

or

Stuckey
Caldwell-Pope
Singler
Smith/Monroe
Drummond/Monroe

Defense needs to come first and putting KCP on the bench is clearly not the answer. Putting our poor defenders on the bench might be.

Exactly

Are people going to speculate on lineup changes before every game? Save yourself time and know it ain't happening until you see a different 5 on the court for the tip.

If we bench Drummond I will be so pissed.
