He went without it for a month or so late in the season during which he broke his nose most recently. He played absolutely horrible basketball, was very timid with the ball and going through screens. He just wasn't himself because he was afraid of breaking the nose again. He went back to it and his game picked right up. So as far as I can tell, he's going to continue wearing it for the remainder of his career.

Stuckey has the potential to be a great player. His shot needs work but he has very good slashing skills and can get to the rim with ease. He just doesn't get alot of calls in his favor because hes a rookie. Also to be fair its his first post season, can't judge him just on that.

We need a big man, but they just aren't easy to come by.
So I guess what I am trying to say is... We need more penetrating and less watching Rip drop one into the net off of a screen. It's getting too easy to guard, people are starting to catch up to Rip. It's getting very predictable.
Maybe something along the lines of Rip to New York for their pick and David Lee?

Please tell me that the last line wasn't for real? There's no way Rip is worth David and a pick. As much of love as I have for Rip, he's not even worth David straight up. I don't think he needs to go, I don't even see him as a problem. However, I do see Stuckey molding real well into Billup's heir. I believe that in a few years, Stuckey will be a Billups v.2.0. I like Stuckey's game, but it's not good enough to replace Rips... yet.

Re: I want to trade Rip.
Rip is the last guy I would trade from this team. He's the only one showing up constantly in the playoffs. He doesn't hold the ball too much compared to other top shooting guards and he has maybe the best mid-range jumper in the league. He's very effective coming off the screens. If we had a better coach we would get more out of him.
I don't see Stuckey ever getting to the same level of Rip. He can't hit a jumpshot and he's easy to guard when teams pay more attention to him and scouting overall, like now in the playoffs. He shouldn't be even getting any minutes right now because he's been absolutely terrible. Put Lindsey to Chaunceys backup and Dixon to Hamiltons...

Tayshaun has showed up every game defensively and offensively. To be fair hes a rookie, but this Stuckey kid still has mad game and to discredit it just because he hasn't played well in this series is stupid imo.

I heard from a buddy that their is a minor league team project that allows your average fan to be a part owner. Basically you buy a share and you get to vote on basketball operations. I guess this includes the coach, players and all the other stuff. The website is currently guaging interest in the IBL. It isn't the pros but it still is basketball. Sounds better than running some pointless fantasy team.

I knew this would happen...
I didn't mean to discredit him because of this series, but I don't think he can help this team right now. I hope he just have had a couple of bad games and proves me wrong and I also hope he continues to develop and proves me wrong about not reaching Rips level.. But as of now, I would like to see more Lindsey and Dixon.. I didn't mean to be so negative towards him. I think this team could use him a lot more if we had more movement on offense. That would make it easier to him to penetrate when catching defenders out of position.
If I remember right Tayshaun was struggling big time againts Cavs last year..

Lindsey and Dixon should see more time but I think Stuckey has played better then Jarvis so what I would do is cut Jarvis out of the rotation until he gets his head out of his ***. And in regards to Tayshaun yeah he sucked last year but this year he is playing well.

Re: I want to trade Rip.
rodney stuckey is the most overrated rookie in the nba. some people saying hes the next dwade....
he can attack the paint decent but thats where his talent ends. hes supposed to be a pg but his passing skills are average. hes one of the most inefficient players in the nba. his jump shot isnt much better then mine and he cant rebound for **** for someone 6,5 playing pg. and his defense is mediocre.
he could be good but hes got ALOT of work to do. hes the rawest player in the nba.

Re: I want to trade Rip.
Well he's not that bad, even though I wanted to see more from him in the playoffs.. I think it's mostly because these are his first playoffs games. Though not everybody suck in their playoffs debuts. I think he need to calm down a little bit, he's trying to do everything a little bit too fast like driving to the basket and getting blocked numerous times. He's probably forcing the issue a bit too much right now.
I disagree with you Zeke about his rebounding. I think he catches some harder ones too which many point guards wouldn't get.
I hope he'll play better againts Orlando, because right now the bench isn't producing too much. I hope Jarvis Hayes gets also more minutes so he can contribute. He can get really hot on offense and be an x-factor out there...
