PING: MrBug and Chief Rum - Aaron Affalo makes his first NBA Start

[DeToxRox]

Aaron Afflalo makes a surprise start at SG tonight for the Pistons with Rip Hamilton out due to a family emergency and Rodney Stuckey out with a broken hand.

He had a solid Pre, but would be looking at limited minutes, but now, he gets the call over Flip Murray, so good for him, excited to see him get real minutes as I like his game.

Yeah, good opportunity for him. I think he couldn't have landed in a better spot than Detroit in the draft. His style of play fits a winning team a lot better than on a non-playoff team, where he as zero expectations and can just check in and play his smart brand of team basketball.

I'd be pissed if I was Flip To My Lou Murray right now

Flip's way too inconsistant. He doesn't deserve the start.

[Chief Rum]

I knew I should have picked him up in my fantasy league! :)

I'll have to see if I can catch any of the action.

Charles Barkley just said that he reminds him of a young Joe Dumars. That would be awesome if it came true.
