LMAO - I don't carry "beefs" from one thread to the other and if I DID have a real problem with you GD I would PM you, cause that's the kind of dude I am.
Do you really think I care enough about the Bynum thing?

I guess the tone of your posts just seemed different, but it's all good. I don't know how much you care about the Bynum thing, but I can see that we disagree about him as a player, which is fine, of course. I'm going to keep banging that drum because I think he's that good. For all of the heat that I give Joe D, he sure hit a home run by finding Will.
Dude, it's words on a screen. Lesson for the future - don't take things so seriously - that's fucking hilarious coming from me!!!!Quote:

I (and others, I hope) want him coming off the bench. He is exceptional in that role. He has performed like a fucking champion in that role. He is the spark plug that lights up the team, the crowd, the fucking fans at home and I don't wanna change that.
It has nothing to do with Stuckey. NOTHING.
And a quick question for all you "Bynum should start" people - if Joe had drafted Chalmers (and still brought Bynum in) which one of them would be riding the pine?
That is where we disagree. Protecting Stuckey and his feelings is not my concern. If he's destined to be a 6th man, so be it. If he plays his way into more playing time, so be it. I've felt the same way going back to Darko. Make it impossible for the coach to keep you off the court and let the chips fall where they may. Bynum is doing just that right now.Quote:

I want more champion.Quote:

I'm ALL for playing productive dudes. You ALWAYS should ride the hot hand.
But you don't take a great bench player and put him in the starting line-up.
Doing so can cause all kinds of shit, not just with Stuckey. This has nothing to do with Stuckey (for me). It's all about using Bynum in the most effective manner and I believe that for him to keep doing what he's been doing you have to keep him in the role that he's got.
Some nights he's gonna play a lot of minutes. And other nights he's not.
What happens when Prince, Rip, Stuckey, Bynum and Gordon are all healthy? You ride the productive players.
If that means Stuckey sits then I'm sure he's man enough to handle it.
Which Pistons bench player scored roughly 18 ppg on 45% shooting in 29 mpg?
damn, you must be going really far back here.Quote:

The suspense is killing me, Mxy.
I'd say Dumars.
