McDyess Thrives Off Bench
Joanne C. Gerstner of THE DETROIT NEWS writes, "Pistons coach Flip Saunders never was tempted to put forward Antonio McDyess into Tuesday's starting lineup against the New Orleans Hornets. He had a slot, thanks to the suspension of Rasheed Wallace, but decided to go with Dale Davis. Saunders wanted to preserve McDyess' comfort level coming off the bench, and Saunders' intuition was correct."
"Thrives Off " "slot" "coming off " these word I really don't know
and I can hardlly tell apart "off" meaning when it was used in different conditions.

You're very welcome! It can be a bit confusing at first because there are so many forums to choose from. There are times when I'm not sure where to post something. You will find many kind and helpful people here so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Very Happy
