Greg Monroe tweeted it best, “smh#.”

That simple texting phrase sums up how I feel about the Pistons Protest.

No one in the world can convince me only 6 players played against Philly for no good reason.

I don’t buy sizzle, I sell it.

Blame Rip, all of the other veterans and Joe D.

We all know Coach Kuester is not the right guy for this job.

However, you must respect him because he is the Head Coach.

No excuses.

We will see how the rest of this year turns out but I’m looking forward to getting lucky in the Lottery!

My 2011 Draft Wish List:

1. Jared Sullinger
2. Kyrie Irving
3. Perry Jones

Other than that, who cares about this draft or these boycotting Pistons!

Richard Hamilton has become a distraction for the Pistons, according to a team source.

He missed Sunday’s game and complaints about his diminished role have led some in the organization to wonder if Hamilton has quit on the Pistons.

“He quit on us,” one team source said. Another team source said Hamilton is acting out of emotion and should adjust.

“If I need to have a long talk with him, I will,” team president Joe Dumars said Monday on WDFN.

“I’ll see how Rip is doing tomorrow when he gets in here. Rip’s been good for me.”

——————-

Ummm… Richard Hamilton had already been a distraction.

I’m glad the Detroit News has confirmed this through team sources but die-hard Pistons fans (even super Rip fan Mike W.) already knew this.

I can’t believe that it has come to Rip having an “upset stomach” and missing the New Orleans Hornets game for people to finally question his heart.

Seriously, I just don’t get the infatuation with Rip.

I understand he was a key piece of our championship run but the day Chauncey was traded, the day Lebron James torched the Pistons for 48 points — including his team’s final 25 and 29 of its final 30, the Pistons dynasty was over.

It was just a matter of time a guy like Rip would quit.

I’ve said and type it numerous time, we need to trade Rip at all cost.

I’LL TAKE A SECOND ROUND PICK!

Just give my minutes for Gordon, McGrady, and Daye and some cap relief.

Maybe we don’t even need the cap relief…

Go Coach John Kuester for finally considering setting a rotation!

Remember this is not elementary school, every player does not have to play in every game.

I still don’t like his game by game assessment mindset.

Be Bold Coach! You know Stuckey, Gordon, Prince, Villy and Ben Wa Wa need to close out games.

Use your weapons!

Pistons May Shorten Rotation

Pistons coach John Kuester is flirting with the idea of shortening the team’s rotation.

Kuester uses a first and second team, going nine deep at times.

“When you are talking about roles, it is real simple,” Kuester said. “We have to make sure guys know their roles. We have spoken to them a lot about their roles defensively. We have offensive explosion, but we have to make sure we take care of the basketball.”

The coach plans to evaluate the team’s rotation on a game-by-game basis in order to decide who will be on the floor late in games.

Some Detroit Pistons fans think Rodney Stuckey is our savior… (cough cough DEVEN! cough cough)

Others think it’s time for him to be traded along with or instead of Rip and Tay.

“I think we should trade Stuckey,” typed Pistonscast Listener Dre.

“Sorry, losing weight isn’t impressive and weight wasn’t the problem. Stuckey doesn’t fit with anyone. I wouldn’t mind getting rid of Rip, but I feel the problem is with Stuck. There are plenty of guards ( starters and backups) that can do what Rodney does but better,” continued Dre.

————-

I never thought I would see the day when Pistonscast listeners started writing in that Rodney Stuckey should be traded.

However, Dre makes some valid points.

Is a slimmer Stuckey that much better than a bulky Stuckey?

Also, does Stuckey fit with our other core players?

Both are valid points that I’m opening up for debate.
