    From what I understand, Rip Hamilton is questionable for tomorrow as well. He didnt play tonight because of his groin. So that's Wallace, Iverson and Rip possibly being out tomorrow.

    If Deke do not start, who will be the starting PF, Chuck or Ron?

    Rip did not play either. They have a good fight against the Mavs 103-101.
    I expect a tough game. Detroit has depth even without Rip,Rasheed and AI.
    Anyone can win tomorrow.
    Edit: Sorry for not seeing post#41,cato13.

    If three of their main players are out, Yao should sit out the next game as well... the roster that played last night can handle the Pistons as they are tomorrow.

    Umm I think we need Yao with Landry out, unless we want to a chance with James White

    Not really especially with Sheed, Rip, and AI out. Our backcourt overpowers theirs and our frontcourts are around the same. We can shift Scola to the C, have Mutumbo backup Scola for 15 mins, and have Hayes /Artest / Cook play PF.

    He was replying to this:

    I think that what seandenliu was saying was: If Yao is still out tomorrow and Adelman decides to start Scola at C instead of Deke (very possible with Sheed out), then who starts at PF?

    IMO, if Yao is out, Deke will start. If Landry was playing, I could see them rotating Scola, Chuck, and Landry at PF and C. But with Landry out of comission, I think it forces our hand to start Deke if Yao is out. Even if Yao plays, Deke might get minutes off the bench.

    I hope Yao can play now that Landry is out for a bit.

    NO EXCUSES, WITH WALLACE OUT, YAO SHOULD DOMINATE THE PAINT. GIVE THE BALL TO HIM 70% OF THE TIME, IF NOT THERE, LET HIM DISH IT TO RON ON THE ELBOW.

    Don't forget to move the ball around to get the others involved and get high percentage shots as well. That along with solid defense and rebounding should get the job done. Otherwise things might get stagnant and make it a bit easier for the Pistons.
