Phillyburbs.com is reporting Elton Brand will miss at least Friday night's game at Detroit, maybe Saturday against the Nets as well.
The article proposes either Speights or Theo as his replacement in the starting lineup, I think it has to be Speights if they're going to stay big. A lineup of Dalembert and Theo on the the floor would be far too offensively challenged. A dark horse lineup would be Dalembert, Thad, Iggy, Green and Miller. I wouldn't put that past Mo.
I already picked up Speights for my fantasy team, my money goes on that lineup against the Pistons. The live blog will go on as planned.
Theo starting WITH Dalembert... I think I would lose all remaining patience with Mo at that exact moment.
Remember the fits Reggie caused in a couple games against the Pistons last year? I think Reggie starting would be a darkhorse lineup. Thad would have some problems with Maxiell and Amir I would think.
Good call, honestly I forgot Reggie was even on the team.
Yeah why haven't we been playing Reggie more? Obviously Speights is the first big man off the bench but then I think it should be split between Reggie and Ratliff.
I have an odd feeling about this one, either we will get blown out of town or we could sneak up on the Pistons.
I'm predicting a win. I'll have a pretty lengthy preview up tomorrow.
I vote Speights. Of course, a Theo / Reggie bench experience would be awful offensively. Thoughts on a small lineup off the bench - Reggie (or Theo) w/ Marshall/Rush/Green/Lou? The darkhorse lineup would leave a more offensive-minded bench, but do you really sacrifice the starters for the bench?
