Where art tho Pistons?

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.

Pistons Head Man

Good Ole Michael Curry. He did exactly what Flip Saunders did, but faster, he lost the team. The Detroit Pistons lost 5 in a row, before their victory to a bad Memphis team, which was not an easy win for them either. You guys can complain about Allen Iverson, and how you wish we didn't make this trade, but it comes down to coaching. Curry can't cut it. He was a solid NBA player, and a good Assistant coach, to whom players could run to him for comfort. However, for being a head coach, he is lousy. I would take Flip back any day!

Curry is scared to step up to the big boys, and tell them they are coming off the bench. I bet Curry wish he could take back that statement when he said Rip Hamilton or AI is coming off the bench when Rip gets healthy. Well both of them said they were not coming off the bench, and instead of Curry stepping up like a head coach is suppose to be, he backed down like a coward. Now the players will do whatever they want whenever they want, just like the Saunders era.

I am sick of the pistons horrible play, and Curry needs to step up if this team is going anywhere. If I were him I'd make Rip come off the bench, because AI and Rodney Stuckey have good chemistry playing together. Then I'd tell Sheed to stop shooting all these 3's and play down in the post like a good big man is suppose to. However, I realize that this will never happen, and I will predict that the Pistons will be knocked out early in the post-season. Oh well I can dream like my fellow Piston fans. Good night Detroit.
