ClutchFans Game Thread: Pistons @ Rockets 12/15/2009

No Ariza. Maybe a TMAC sighting?

 

Go git em. Need a huge performance from Scola and Brooks since there's no Ariza. I don't think we need to question Landry, he's a beast, I'm sure he'll get his. We also need Budinger to get at least 10-15, along with Shane. I think we can get it done, I mean we're playing at home.

 

Cbud report to the starting lineup...STAT !!!

First page! I'd like to see Air Bud start and the Rockets winning easily. Give Cook and Taylor some garbage minutes!

 

Budinger shows the Pistons why they shouldn't have traded him (if I remember correctly)

 

Tracy being activated and get some PT perhaps?

No Ariza, another first game of the back-to-back, wish them luck and get some fresh legs to run the offense, they looked terribly lackadaisical the other day in Toronto. Good news is this one is at home, bring it on Pistons.

If they win, I'll enjoy the rest of the night with glee, if they lose, no biggie, with no Ariza and Tracy, at least they fight through all 48 mins, that won't bother me.

 

Cbud starting and JT to get 15min. of playing time!!!

 

I'd like to see Lowry get the start tomorrow.

Gordon and Hamilton are going to be tough to stop. Great shooters.

 

I think that Lowry will start instead of Chase. It would be unfair to Landry if Chase started. Just a thought...

 

Possibly move Battier to the 2 and put Landry at the 3? Or move Brooks to SG and play Lowry at the point?

 

this.

 

Landry + Scola + Hayes is a logjam in the paint. It would never work offensively. You can only have 2 of the 3 in at the same time. This holds true even if you tossed Yao in the mix: only 2 max.

So, Landry cannot get the start unless Scola's moved to the 5 and Hayes goes to the bench. That would still leave Ariza's spot open anyway, so that won't happen.

The two best fits on Lowry and Budinger. Battier will most likely be defending Hamilton, Brooks on Stuckey. Lowry is just not big enough to guard whoever else is starting (probably this Jerebko guy who is a 6'10" SF).

In other words, deductive reasoning shows: Chase Budinger.

The wildcard here, as always, is BRIAN COOK.

just kidding

 

everyone have to step up, but most of all, Cbud and Batman........

 

Start Budinger.

 

T-Mac puts his jersey on and activates himself, comes into the game without Adelman knowing and dunks on Kwame Brown. Book it.

 

JT time for now or never!

 

Fixed for ya. =)

 

PLEASE....LET A NEEGA PLAY.

 

i agree with you on that luandry won't start unless hayes is moved to the bench. I would actually do that cause without ariza with need another scorer on the court.

I feel that lowry would start with brooks.

But we need this win. Coming off a bad lose yesterday, we need this win to boost our confidence. Also with ariza sidelined, if we win, we can show him that he is no the only reason we win games. Maybe it will settle him down a bit both emotionally and shot selection.
