Great job! I was really looking forward to your recap and it did not disappoint in the least. I got a lot out of it. I'm not an x and o person but I can appreciate that others are. We need a "color person" around here.
C'mon 2Tough, I made a point to post at halftime that he was playing an excellent game, I put in bold that I WAS IMPRESSED! That said he did indeed irk me in the 4th when all of a sudden he stopped doing the things that he did so well in the first 3 qtrs of the game. In the 4th qtr he froze up, that's not me picking on him, he did what he always does when he starts thinking......he starts stinking. He's a legit NBA talent, he's above average in soooo many areas and I completly believe in him, but trust and believe I critique the hell out of the position I love so dearly, especially when you play it on the team I love so dearly. You don't want hear me going off while I watch Maurice Jones run the point for Arthur Hill High School, even though he's an all-american headed to USC in the fall....I'm convinced he's butchering the position I once ran flawlessly, even though I got ZERO D-1 offers out of highschool.
KGREG...you were a Lumberjack?...I live about a mile from AH. I like to hear you tell it like you see it when it comes to Rodney.
Lol, it's all good. I'm a massive Stuckey homer (if you hadn't noticed) so I will rush to his defense MOST of the time. ;) Truth be told, I was disappointed with the entire team in the 4th, but especially the the bench, whose poor play forced the starters back into a game they should not have had to come back into. That irked me more than anything. Rodney, Rip, Ben, etc. should have been able to rest up in the 4th, so they could be fresher for tonight's game. Anyway, the confusion sets in even more. A two game win streak... happy as hell with the two wins. BUT... we can't keep winning games. But I can't actually root for them to lose games. You know what I mean?
Aurora's Game Report As others have said great Kimmiecap You couldn't convince the usher that you were JJ's relative and you had to personally go down to the bench to check on him so you could text a message back to the rest of his [STRIKE]pistons forum[/STRIKE] family if he was OK or not??? Also where are those close-up pictures of you and Tay?? Obviously he saw you there and was inspired to put on a good show
Other teams have adjusted to Bynum. Now he needs to make the next move. He looks terrible out there. Cant believe this is the same player that provided so much excitment last year and at the beginning of this year.
and this is why coaches know more then the fan that thinks we'd be so much better off with the subs playing over the starters. I root for bynum to be our backup PG but honestly just don't see him ever having anymore upside then the backup.
Bynum isn't 100% - he doesn't have his feet or his rhythm or explosion. Give him time. I'm pretty confident he's a high quality backup - and one of the best guards going to the rim in the game.
Really nice recap, aurora. I did notice quite a few Piston jerseys in the crowd last night. I was wondering if I might have spotted you. lol
Awesome report. Nice to hear a real fan's perspective. I did see on TV a girl wearing a blue Ben jersey sitting next to a guy wearing a Rip jersey. Was that you?
No I was wearing a road red #3 Ben jersey and lodged among Sacramento fans! That was okay because I got to educate them about the Pistons. LOL. This guy behind me asked me why I was wearing the jersey of a thug! Seriously. He called Ben Wallace a thug. I said "Hello. You really don't know what you are talking about. Ben Wallace went to Virginia Union. He came into the NBA undrafted. He was the Defensive Player of the Year 4 times and he wants to go the law school when he retires." Harumph. I was outraged. Ben Wallace a thug. My Lord. He did apologize abjectly. He admitted he had no idea what he was talking about. He said he and his friend got free tickets and they weren't even NBA fans. I told him to be careful. Them's fighting words. Ben is my favoritest player along with Allen Iverson and I just won't stand for that kind of stuff.
