    I don't about you guys, but I found it EXTREMELY disturbing that Rudy put in BROWN AND MORRIS before they put in Griffin. This is ridiculous. We traded three ****ing first round picks for him, yet we barely play him and put in the other rooks before him.

    I think Rudy needs to go. Plain and simple.

    It's called 'he's 19 freaking years old' and when they got him there was considerable talk about taking it slow with him.

    Fine take it slow with him....when all your starters are healthy.

    But they're not, and now is the perfect time for him to get a taste of the NBA with more playing time.

    When all your starters our out, at least make the most of your losses by exposing your future star rook. Sheesh.

    At least stop running plays for him to shoot airball 3's over and over and over. I'd rather him just take no shots at all if RT is uncomfortable w/ his inside game.

    Would it really have made a difference?

    LOL You understand why you'd bring some one along slowly? Because to throw them in otherwise might hurt them long term. The idea, therefore, that you'd alter that strategy because some people are injured would be foolhardy.

    The reason Griffin came in after Brown and Norris is because Rudy substituted for Norris and Williams, who were struggling big time AND because the Pistons went big at the 3.

    Rocketkid I think you need to calm it down quite a bit. Griffin is a project. He doesn't have to play now. And by the way you hoona too much.
