: 0 For This Post 3 Total | Pistons' Will Bynum will not play in home opener; John Kuester 'not sure' when Greg Monroe will play Published: Friday, October 29, 2010, 7:05 PM Updated: Friday, October 29, 2010, 9:56 PM Chris Iott Follow Share this story Story tools AUBURN HILLS -- The sore hamstring that limited point guard Will Bynum during the preseason is now keeping him out of regular-season games. Bynum will miss the home opener tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder with a sore right hamstring after tweaking the injury late in the game Wednesday at New Jersey. 0Share 15 Comments “I think on one of those moves at the end of the game out in Jersey, I kind of re-injured it,” Bynum said. “I really can't run right now, but hopefully in a couple days.” Bynum, a Chicago native, did not want to rule himself out of the game today against the Bulls, but he said he would probably not be able to play. Bynum did not play in the final two preseason games due to the injury. What about Greg Monroe? Pistons coach John Kuester was asked whether Greg Monroe is likely to play tonight. "I've got a lot of confidence in him," Kuester said. "I'm excited about getting him in. But I'm not sure when it will happen."

: 0 For This Post 3 Total | On Thursday, Kuester explained why: "What happen is that you have four bigs, and Greg is going to be a big key to this situation. I have a tremendous amount of confidence in him. Max had played with more energy than I had seen in Greg at times, and yet Greg is going to be someone that is going to continually work hard. His chance is going to come. See, it's all about the effort.   |

1. Dumars drafted Cleaves then brought up how hard he was pushing himself with the pushups during the workout. 2. Dumars drafted Monroe and said that despite not working him out, he wasn't worried about his toughness ... cuz his college coach said he was tough. 3. I wasn't a big fan of drafting Monroe (although I admit it was the seemingly clear choice, so you won't really hear me bitch too hard at Dumars) ... because drafting widely-noted-to-be-soft big men is never a good idea (although Pau Gasol who might have had a soft label at draft time has proven franchise-caliber). | |

It's that he simply seems to lack desire. That's it in a nutshell ... dude simply doesn't seem to play hard out there. |

: 0 For This Post 3 Total | There is a truth to every rumor. I think Daye is good enough to start at small forward...I really do. Getting rid of Prince for Cousins and a number 7 is worth it to me. Which is why I made this thread in the first place. I'm sick of these passive ass PF. We need a beast for a change. Are rumors are full of lies? I believe if Dumars really wanted Cousins, he could of had him..not settle. Because of Dumars unwilling to trade Prince..We are stuck with full of Sg and Sf on our roster. Could have got rid of Prince and started Daye..shit even Kstat would of for that to happen. Stop with all this BS about how good Monroe is. Dude is ok. He will not be a superstar, he's soft and he don't fit the Pistons DNA. The more I talk about his the more angry I get. Even more pissed the game is not on television today and the Spartan are getting their asses kicked. |

: 0 For This Post 0 Total | Maxiell and Hamilton are most responsible for our losses thus far. Blaming Joe for not making a phantom trade is pointless, as is blaming Monroe for not having the pick that resulted in him becomming a Piston traded away. Yes, everyone agrees that we would have rather had Cousins, but I'd say the odds favor a scenario where Sacramento told us to fuck off when offered Prince and the #7. |

: 0 For This Post 0 Total | Mob, actually I think K stat is in compliance with Pacers Digest rules. Article 4, verse 12 says that you can't use namecalling, yes. BUT, verse 13 if I'm not mistaken allows an epithet aimed at a specific person (not a group), and only once in the discussion. And, once a week. So that's K stat's for this one. |

: 0 For This Post 0 Total | It is true that patience is a virtue when making trades, but I am afraid that Joe might be constitutionally incapble of trading Rip or Tay for less than what he considers to be their true baasketball value to a team. Joe has to confront the fact that sometimes you have to do addition by subtraction. |
