hes not refusing to play. dantonis asking him if he wants to play and hes saying no. refusing would be dantoni telling steph to play and him saying no. hes declining an oppurtunity. think of it this way. your boss gives you the option of sitting at home or going to work, and wither way your making full salary... whats you choice gonna be?
D'antoni and Gundy are complete opposites when it comes to coaching style. D'antoni is an offensive genius, and likes to shoot the ball early in the clock. Gundy is a defensive mastermind, but his offense is as slow as hell. I personally think D'antoni is a superior coach, because his defensive coaching is better than Gundy's offensive coaching.
Chandler just scared the crap out of me when he fell. Luckily he looks alright. Classy of the Piston crowd to cheer when he got up, nice to see.
Al Harrington's numbers for today: 22 points, 7 rebounds, 7-23 FG, 1-6 3 PT
ILL, those numbers are DISGUSTING!
Tim Thomas played good, though. So did David Lee and Wilson Chandler.
Kidd and Nash are 2 more guards on the decline as well. It's painfully obvious who got the better deal from the Nuggets-Pistons trade. Not because Billups is any better but his game will instantly complement a team. AI needs to be a star and we can see him drying up with age. Shame. He was one of the best. He won't be a Piston next year.I hate to say...AI has always been one of my favorites but i think hes on the decline. I cant think of many players who are still it their best when they hit 33. I hope he proves me wrong though...just not tonight.
I dont understand why Mobleys not playin, he should be.
man i hate tim thomas, dude makes it looks so easy but yet this dude doesnt play hard....one particular play was a rebound amir johnson out ran em, i dont even kno what tim thomas was doing but it looked like he was tryin to box em out to the ball....smh

Wilson Chandler plays hard, he is going to get better, that ejection was weak. I would have given him a technical foul not an ejection-
