The Pre Pre-Game Open Thread - 11/2


I probably can't put enough pre's in front of "Game Open Thread" as I'm not one to steal thunder (that's Clay Bennett's MO...that one is for you Shinons) and like to leave the dirty work to the men in charge. I'm sure they'll have their Game Thread up later today but for those of us who are impatient, bored, or a little bit of both, I figured an open thread for the day might be nice and per MFMP's advice, if it ain't up, post it yerself.

I think we all remember last year's win over the Celtics as probably the single biggest highlight of the year. It was like an homage to the Pistons of old holding the Celtics to just 86 points while outrebounding them by 10 and posting 9 steals and 7 blocked shots during the game.

This game marked what was probably Stuckey's single best showing of the year with 27 points, 11 boards, 6 dimes, 2 steals, and a blocked shot all while shooting 46% from the field and 83% from the line.

While Stuck has played against 3 solid point guards in the first 3 games, Harris, Westbrook and Rose are not really known for their defensive prowess and Stuckey was able to have his way with them showing impressive crossovers and an ability to distribute while keeping a low turnover rate. So with that said, 3 questions I have for today's game:

1) How will Stuck fare against one of the premier defenders at his position and easily the best distirbutor of this very young season in Rondo? If there is any game to measure Stuckey's relative improvement since last year in this young season, this may be it.

2) With injuries to CV, Bynum, and Hamilton, will Koostis set loose the Moose?

3) Can we take advantage of Boston's aging and injury-riddled frontcourt or will Garnett be posterizing Daye on a consistent basis?

Bonus Question: How many basketballs will Tracy McGrady kick today? Prediction: 1 more than he puts through the hoop.

What questions do all of y'all have coming into this game?
