Besides Gordon, I've really not been impressed with any thing about this team since the season has started. Now I did not see the Memphis game but still...not impressed at all.

If you saw the Memphis game you'd realize just how important Rip is to this team. He's our best defender at the guard position.

we gave up a 16 point lead
we subbed out CV when he FINALLY got hot for freaking ball-hog chucker bynum.
we played keep away from Ben Gordon, mr. clutch, because stuckey and bynum thought they didn't need him.
we let a near failed franchise get pumped up because their rookie point guard and some ilyasova guy just destroyed us.
Our "deep bench" got outscored by 20 or so points.
Our great offense couldn't register anything in the clutch.
Couldn't agree more. Q is displaying some puzzling sub decisions. He also needs to play Wilcox. We aren't displaying any low post threat at all. It was difficult to watch the 2nd half. Bynum had more fga than CV and Stuckey has no conscience, it's the coach's job to correct this and the GM's job to find us a low post threat. Give Daye some minutes. Hakim Warrick displayed more aggressiveness than our entire front line, 15 fta!
I dont know where all this trade rip talk is coming from. He gets hurt for 2 games and now everyone says trade him. I would only agree to trade rip if someone has a spectacular deal. Rip is a proven all-star SG. There is only a few guys in the league who are better than him at the Sg position. He showed us what he can do against Memphis and why we need him on our team. Another thing that has been bothering me is how Chris Wilcox has only played 6 minutes in three games. If Rip was injured why didn't we play him???? He is better than many believe. We need him on the floor playing at least 20-25 minutes a night at the center or power forward position.

Was that trade Rip comment because of previous posts in this topic or because you agree with previous posts about how valuable he is and hate the other topics created? It should be the latter, because if it's not it doesn't make sense in this topic. No one said anything about trading Rip.
I can't wait till he gets back. He kind of proved (because it was only one game) that he could be the Billups to this year's team. The kind of glue that makes everything work together. I'm not going to judge the last two games, and the next few, because I want to see this team with Rip and how well they do with him in the lineup consistently.
