Wounded

The Pistons face the Bulls tonight, but the injury list continues to grow.

Players out for sure: Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince
Players questionable: Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva

My guess is that Gordon will not play, but Charlie V will. He had surgery on his nose after the Atlanta game, so Charlie was fitted with a Hamilton-esque mask. If he's comfortable in the mask, he'll play. They will need him.

The grit and determination that served the Pistons so well in the win against Atlanta can only carry the team so far. At some point, they'll need to supply some talent too. Chucky Atkins is a capable enough ball handler, but his shot is as rusty as our old '86 Chevy Suburban (not actually our car but close enough). Stuckey should keep pace with Derrick Rose, and Ben can clean off the boards. But who will score? They need some Gordon and Charlie V. Besides, how sweet would it be to see Gordon explode for 40 against his old team?
