Billups' Injury

The Detroit Pistons are not one-dimensional, unlike the Dwight Howard Magic. Any team missing its leader will have to raise its game from the remaining players.  But if any team can rise above this type of adversity, it is the Detroit Pistons.  Let the Orlando Magic and any of their fans, the ones showing their lack of class by cheering for injuries to Piston playes, beware.  The Pistons when backed in the corner by obstacles and challenges, will show their lockdown defense and show why we are the best "team" in the NBA.  We don't have ball hogs or self-center egoists on the Detroit Pistons.  We don't need the opposition to get injured to get a victory, unlike the current opposition.  Dwight Howard will be a Hall of Fame player, and he will eventually get some NBA championship.  But it isn't his time quite yet.  Joe Dumars keeps the Deroit Pistions competitive and transitioning with new blood for future years of playoff competition.

My first thought was that the Pistons should rest Chauncey for game four even if he is able to play.  However, after reading comments in the Detroit Free Press from Arnie Kander the guru of Strength and Conditioning coaches, I believe that this is not a serious hamstring strain and he'll have Chauncey ready to go come Saturday.  If he is not quite 100% but does not risk furthur injury let him play.  Chauncey at 85% is still better than Jameer Nelson at 100%.  His presence on the court will make a difference. 

The word from Pistons trainer Arnie Kander is that he is optomistic that Chauncey will recover quickly. If the Pistons win this round without him playing he is expected to be back at possibly full health by the next round. Here is the link from pistons.com

MiamiFins...

you stated the following..."Why do all you Pistons fans think Stuckey is the best bench palyer in the world. Keyon Dooling is way better then Stuckey and he does not get any credit because he plays for the Magic. "

let me ask you this...When is the last time that KENYON DOOLING was compared to DWANE WADE?  I am almost certain that most people with any sense will argue that Dwade is in the top 5 of the NBA when fully healthy.  well, let me answer my own q, NOT ONCE. 

Now, do a little research and you will see that Stuckey has been compared to Dwade about a dozen times since about 2 weeks before the draft, during summer play, and at the beg of the season.  that is why we Pistons fans think so highly of him.  because we got a steal during the draft, and everyone else got robbed.  One day, Stuckey will be the NBA's version of Tom Brady!

Dooling better than Stuckey?  please. you got high hopes man. i will give you that. 

Hey piston fans do u want me to throw out some comparisons?

Dwight =a young shaq,moses malone,kareem,wilt.Id rather our star be referred to those names then wade anyways.And i dont think nelson sucks considering he is scoring over 20 a game.Its just that billups is faster.

Im tired of hearing about stuckey let him start for a year before u compare him to someone.Dwight started a year then got the comparisons.And i think the score was 16-2 when chauncey got hurt so he wasnt doing much to help at the time.NOW WAS HE?
