Stuckey is just an idiot. Maybe I should start calling him Sucky... Who in the hell told him he's a great shooter, all these dang jumpshot he's taking is ridiculous. You can't shoot, there's a reason defenders want you shooting jump shots. I'm also tired of seeing him dribble for 17 seconds and then throwing up a crappy jump shot to only miss. And the stupid defensive mistakes and fouls, just stupid.

But he's supposed to lead this team this season, ha...

Sucky is going to lead us to the first pick this year. Let's cheer him on.

i bet you clowns think stuckey is the reason the pistons lost the game, bottom line this team will struggle , until they get someone who score on the block, and start playing defense for more then one quarter!!!!

he's taking shots that normally a certain 3 time all star would take off screens for us. there's no denying he played a horrible game tonight from the field.

how could you honestly blame stuckey for the offense? if stuckey was running the offfense incorrectly, dont u think Q would bench his ***? obviously kuester thinks stuckey is LeBron, hey coach, ur in Detroit now, there's no king here.

I never once blamed this game on him, I'm talking about his play particularly. He sucks....once again. I thought this season was going to be so much different but so far, against bad teams he hasn't shown it.

Sure there's more to complain about. Princess hasn't been impressive at all, there's been almost no interior offense at all (cough lack of Wilcox pt), I'm not in love with JK's rotation...but bottom line, once again this big star Stuckey has sucked.

Agreed, Stuckey just flat out sucks right now. And wtf is up with no minutes for Wilcox? Atleast he'd D up unlike the Sheed wannabe.

Coming into tonight, 2.5apg from a starting point guard playing 32mpg....sad. Shooting 40% from the field even sadder....I mean at least if you're not going to distribute, score a lot and be efficient with it.

I have to agree, and i know i was one that was saying stuckey needed time. But after watching 3 games, times up. I dont like his game at ALL!. He cant shoot, he cant hit a layup, he cant run the offense. I too tought it was going to be different and wasnt rdy to throw him under the bus until now. He has shown no improvement. We need to trade him ASAP, because we do not have time to wait on him to develop and it looks like he needs 3 years.

Stats from a 2 game period otherwise 2% of the total regular season isn't a real sample size. I agree with your premise tho, Stuckey hasn't been making good decisions. Against OKC, I saw him jump up in the air twice without any real knowledge of where he was going to pass it. If he doesn't start playing better we should run Prince through the point.

stuckey had 8 assists and played well in the first half. you should have made this thread about bynum.

Both Bynum and Stuckey need to STOP SHOOTING JUMPERS!!!!

He does noeed to be more consistant that's for sure. He played great in the first half and was shooting a great %. Things fell apart for him in the 2nd half and had a lot of shots go in and out. But, he wasn't the only one that played bad in the 2nd half. None of our gaurds played well.

Amen.

God I wish we didn't have a PG who tried to make shots. Especially when everyone else is struggling. We need a pure PG who can get Ben Wallace and Kwame Brown in their preferred scoring positions.

If Stuckey has to take a lot of poor scoring opportunities, it's because everyone else is that much worse.

There is no question Rodney Stuckey will continue to work on his mid-range jump in the same way that Rondo for the Celtics will continue to work on his mid-range jumper.

After having a good first half, our team came out terrible in the second half. Stuckey simply tried to do too much in the second. You put somebody like Rondo in this situation, he would get exposed as well. Our front-court has to step up offensively if we want to win games. This meaning, Villanueva has to get out of his funk, and guys like Kwame Brown and Maxiell need to get involved.

Once Rip comes back, and other guys start hitting shots, I don't think we will see nearly as many complaints about our point guard. He isn't a star, but I still am glad we have him. Eights assists, six boards, and steal is overall a nice game for a point guard.

This team will get better over-time. Its a rebuilding year.

I never complained about him taking shots, I'm not one of the ones that think a point guard can't be a scorer. Problem is though, his shots are stupid and forced and doesn't help the team. And also as a point guard, he's not getting anyone else involved in games. 15ppg shooting 36% from the field, 4apg, 2.6tpg...just sucks all across the board.

And the saddest part is, he hasn't played anyone yet. He's gone up against Mike Conley, Russell Westbrook, and Brandon Jennings. But I'm supposed to believe he's one of the top point guards in this league? I think not.

I really wish people would stop trying to compare Stuckey to Rondo, there's pretty much no comparison there at all. The only thing they have in common is that they've both have been teammates of Sheed, that's about it. Rondo is a distributing point guard that distributes and plays defense. Not a great shooter but doesn't go out and take 19 jump shots a game either, he knows his limits.

Stuckey is a scoring guard...I refuse to even call him a point guard. He's always out there in the score first mentality which is fine except he doesn't score efficiently. Like I point out before, he's shooting 36% from the field and even lower than that from behind the arc but yet he's still throwing up 20 shots per night. He distributes only when he absolutely have to and his defense is nowhere near Rondo's. Unlike Stuckey, Rondo can actually get a team into their offense and control the tempo of games, Stuckey can't.

Rodney Stuckey doesn't go out everynight looking for twenty, or even fifteen shot attempts. These last two games, he was trying to step up his game to make up the loss for Richard Hamilton. He did fine in the first half, but fell apart with the rest of the team in the second.

You act like all he does is look for his shot, that isn't true at all. When other guys are able to hit shots, he looks to distribute. Last night wasn't the case. Villanueva struggled, than you are left with three other frontcourt players (Kwame Brown, Jason Maxiell, Ben Wallace) that aren't known for their offense. So what is Stuckey to do? Let Gordon/Tayshaun get 30 shot attempts each? No, he is going to try and help carry the scoring load. Which obviously didn't work. However, that's because all the defense has to worry about is our guards. They're going to close the lanes and make them shoot jumpers. The jumper is something Stuckey has been working on. Which is why I brought up Rondo (it wasn't because I was saying they were similar).

What would Rondo have done in that situation? People that say we should have traded for him are dumb. This guy isn't going to have a high assist total when there is no solid frontcourt scorers, and Tayshaun isn't Pierce. How is he going to get his team involved? How is he going to control the tempo? You put Rondo on this team, he is going to do the same thing Stuckey tried to do and look for his own shot. And as we know, he isn't any better at hitting the mid-range jumper which would have left him exposed.

I don't think it's just Stuckey. I agree with DTP. When you see us come down the floor the ball stays in a guards hand the entire time. there are no touches, no distribution, no ball movement at all! it's pretty easy to defend when the ball is in one persons hand the entire time. We need another solid big on the floor that can post up and more ball movement through our rotation when we come up the floor. this one on one to the basket is too predictable and way too easy to defend!
