Sure, it's fair to say Amir gets worse treatment, strictly in terms of on court burn, than Maxiell got last year, but Amir, while being drafted the same year as Baby Eater, is more than 4 years younger. That makes a HUGE difference in my book when you're talking 24 versus 20. I see where you're coming from though and of course there should be more time for Amir to get in outside of garbage time. It does seem a little suspect or counterintuitive, I will grant you. I'm just coming from the perspective of, it's not worth my time worrying about it since we have him locked up through 2010 and we're 28-10 right now. Next year, I think he needs to get the treatment not unlike Maxiell is getting this year, and hopefully he'll shine in that role. Besides, if we keep playing like we did today, he'll be starting in no time. Nothing against Amir, but I think we can all agree that we don't want that happening.

I was one of the biggest Carlos Delfino guys and I still think Acker can do something as odd as that sounds since he doesn't know what a crossover is. I just dont whats wrong with playing Amir. I dont think he'll cost the pistons any games, and he has "potential". My thinking is just get him some minutes, like Max got last year, so he can develop and be more ready for next season. I just see more pluses for Amir getting pt then Brezec but I admit that I'm probably being biased. I guess I just always root for that young bench player that doesn’t play.

Wait, we played less inspired than we did during that quarter for the rest of the game, wha? Oh well, no starter played more than 31:50, w00t w00t. This is about the time I would love to see the re-emergence of PG4L going into cardiac arrest about how we let Nate Robinson hang 13 on us. Other than that, I agree with those DBBers who are ready to forget about this game and move on to the next one. Brad: Another poor choice of timing for any DBBer to hate on Flip is how I see it. It's not like he failed to make an adjustment. He can't exhort his guys into getting their legs back. Not his fault when you get stomped like this. Matt G: Brezec is a seasoned vet who isn't still growing into his body, that's what makes him get PT. He also works his ass off out there, not at all to say Amir wouldn't, but this is such a moot point to me (ie: a good problem to have) seeing that Amir is TWENTY and never played college ball, I don't know what else to say. Stuckey is 21 and played two college seasons, even if they were at Eastern Washington. If Amir gets no burn next year, then I'll hop aboard the "No PT for Amir freakout" bandwagon, but I can't see any reason why I should hop on during this season.

A veritable experience. Although I have to say, the most thrilling moment for either team the entire night was when the arena crew turned on the final drive of the football game - humorously (and predictably), the new york fans definitely cared a bit more about that one than about their anomalously dominant hoops club.

Hey Amir got pt! I guess thats a positive. Why doesn't he play. What has Brezec done to reward him with time over Amir? It seems odd the Flip lets Stuckey play through mistakes and yet he doesn't for Amir. We need to start a petition for him to get playing time. I know Natalie from Need4sheed would be in wow… um.

After last season, Joe D. said he wasn't going to tolerate complacency any longer. Losing to New York in this type of fashion can't make him very happy. I just wish the Pistons that show up against the Spurs, could be present during the rest of their schedule. I understand that they go in swings, but to know that they can appear this beatable against such a weak team is pretty unnerving.
