Pistons went from down 4 to down 18 in the blink of an eye when he went out... Chad Ford: (1:03 PM ET ) No ... that's the story. Billups is the most important player on the Pistons. If he's out ... the team will struggle to beat Orlando. Rodney Stuckey is going to be good, but you never want a rookie guard running the show in the playoffs. With a healthy Billups, I think the Pistons pull this out. Without him, I think Orlando probably advances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NotByChoice 2 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Everyone remain calm...... TCO (Riverside, CA): Reddick and Morrison have not exactly gotten extended playing time. I would not count out atleast one of those two yet. Chad Ford: (1:44 PM ET ) Morrison got a ton of playing time his rookie year and was horrible. Injuries kept him out all year. There's a reason Reddick isn't getting minutes over Mo Evans. He's a bust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marc Acres 3:16 418 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Ford's head just exploded. Aaron (West Laf): So Darko is officially a bust now? I think many other GMs would have picked him #2 in that draft. That question went up and he still hasn't replied. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KillingInTheNameOf 63 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 No secret I like Darko, but I always thought Dumars was an idiot for not taking Melo. Det was a great defensive team that lacked scoring, Melo instantly gave it to them. That would look even worse if Prince hadn't developed into a solid all around player & they hadn't landed Sheed for nothing. Morrison always looked too slow in college and he didn't even do anything well in college outside put the ball in the basket. I'd be surprised if Larry Brown had him on the roster for training camp.
