What has happened to our beloved Detroit Pistons. Once one of the more prominent teams in the NBA, now their are fighting to keep a playoff spot. Trading for Allen Iverson was suppose to make us a better team, but obviously that has not worked out. I can't Blame Joe D for pulling that move, because with the team we had going into the regular season, nothing was going to be accomplished. However there is a few things that catch my eye when I watch the Pistons.
We have no low post presence, do not say Rasheed Wallace, because we all know that he lives by the 3 point line, if he would make his presence felt down low, we will be a much better team. I am not asking for him to do it all the time, but do it in spurts! Show me something Sheed, SHOW ME SOMETHING!!!! (The trade rumor, sheed for Elton Brand would be a good deal for the Pistons.)
AI and Rip Hamilton do NOT get along. It is obvious when you see them play together, they have no chemistry whatsoever, and when AI is on the line, RIP never acknowledge his presence. I can't say I blame Rip, he lost is starting job to AI, and his numbers are down, but its no excuse, they are two great players, and they should make each other better, and they are not!
Michael Curry is a horrible head coach. How can he keep a superstar like Iverson on the bench the whole 4th quarter in a game that was close?!?! I can't remember the game but it was last week, yes we lost that game too. Anyway, Curry is way to inconsistent, and he needs to stop changing the starting lineup every other game. Let the players get some chemistry together, and then hopefully results will start to show.
Either way the Pistons are in a lot of trouble. To me this season is a lost cause. Hopefully they will draft a legit big man, and/or get a good player off free agency.
