Stuckey: "Feeling is different"

[Pugz]

Rodney Stuckey says that the feeling around the Pistons as they enter training camp is a lot different than it was last year.

"Things are just different around the practice facility," said Stuckey. "Having a new coaching staff in here and spending more time around Michael Curry ... things are just a lot different.

"The vibe is different. It's been good, though. I think we're all ready to get started and get back to the grind."

Stuckey averaged 7.6 points and 2.8 assists during the regular season, but broke out in the playoffs last spring.

"I'm ready for any challenge that comes up," Stuckey said. "I'm always ready. You're always going to hear that from me. I know they are going to be expecting a lot more out of me, but it's a challenge."

So Stuckey is the official spokesman for the Detriot Pistons now? :lol:

I like what I'm hearing from Stuckey this off-season. He has shown to me IMO that he is going to be a great leader for this team.


I'm getting really pumped up for this season man, let's go.

Of course the vibe is going to be different. New coach, new vibe.

Can't wait for the season to start though. I wish Stuckey was starting.

 

[RipCity32]

He is most likely going to see starter minutes, just not starting lol.

Meh who's minutes are they going to cut? Prince or just go with a smaller line-up?

Billups-Stuckey-Rip-Prince-Rasheed

That wouldn't be bad in the 4th.

 

[RipCity32]

Well, most likely going to see Billups and Rip's load cut a little bit, and I heard something about what you said with the small man line-up.

Something like Billups-Stuckey-Rip and whoever else.

Billups and Rips will go down. Smae with Tay and Sheed.
This is what it will be from what Ive read.

Stuckey will se around 24-26 mins a game.
So..

Stuckey will play the PG and the SG
Bill/Stuck OR Stuck/Rip OR Bill/Stuck/Rip OR Bill/Stuck/Rip/Tay/Sheed

At times we will be playing small, with a lineup or Bill/Stuck/Rip/Tay/Sheed OR Bill/Stuck/Rip/Max(or Amir)/Sheed(or Kwame or Dyess).

i think this is the year the Pistons don't make the ECF
Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, possibly Philly will be better IMO

If a team beats us I hope it's orlando or Philly.
But I think we'll still get to the ECF's in a tough battle though.
