I understand he went becuz of Flip, but i also realize that he let down a lot of fans and we pretty much made his career here, not cleveland or chicago, us...

Too many for me to read, so I doubt too many people will read mine, but I have to agree with CHAD. There is too much talent on this team for us to lose to Washington and then Boston stomps them by 34. Ridiculous. I subscribed to the growing pains shit for a while, but the only rookie we really have affecting us is Curry. Gotta toss him. And I REALLY agree with CHAD in that I think Avery Johnson would be a great coach for this team. He was a great coach for Dallas (minus the meltdown to the Heat,) but we melted down to the Heat before that. Too much talent on the court and a coach that isn't making it work...

I mean look at them. The Pistons formula has to be recreated in the middle of the season and Im talking about big changes in the way they run almost everything, the good thing is that we have an experienced coach. NOT! As of now this is a rude awakening, it appears Chauncey was More than a great point guard, he was underestimated by many of us at the time of the trade. Allen is a great player, but Im losing my hopes of him playing Detroit Basketball with the guys. I like the cap space for the future, but since the trade they went from #1 in offensive efficiency, a 4-0 record, and a margin of victory of 10 ppg to a 7-9 team with a margin of loses of -0.6.

Could someone explain the logic in letting a small lineup play most of the game with a lead, while blowing it and staying in and eventually getting exhausted. what happened to the bench? and it seemed like curry didn't draw up any defensive plays at all second half, and not much offensive either, there was a point when the Pistons were losing their lead and a player, i forgot who, took a quick shot, bricked it, someone else got the long rebound, turned around and shot before they could even see the basket, then iverson gets another long board and puts it up before the ball crosses below his chest. i dont even know what is happening to this team, but when they play the terrible teams in the league, its like watching a jv high school team It seemed like Rasheed and Tayshaun played the entire second half and rip, iverson, and stuckey got short rests but not too significant, only for McDyess to play while johnson and maxiell rode the bench for some reason.

He left because he knew that from that point on DEFENSE wouldn't be a priority anymore because of Flip Saunders, and that's where he hangs his hat. And as for the statement that he's garbage, I'd say he's playing his role pretty well in Cleveland. I was pissed when he left too, but man do we sure miss him. And just think, there's a good possibility that he wins a title this year. I'm not saying this because I'm at all a Cleveland fan, but him leaving marked a downturn for the Pistons.

Other than having a record of 11-9 I really haven’t noticed a difference. Steve, maybe you could explain it? Because last I checked, it’s still the same team that comes out with a big lead, and blows it. The same team that plays only when they want too, they’re the same inconsistent team. We weren’t going to win with Chauncey anymore, this was the best trade we could have done because we can finally rebuild." It was too predictable. Let's face it did Chauncey really do that much as of recent 2 seasons? Love the guy (he was my fav player), but i didn't see the drive out of him like I did when we used to dominate the east. I see it rekindled in Denver a bit, but i think Denver needed a confidence booster and they got it. As far a Big Ben goes...SCREW HIM! Remember he left us! Not the other way around...I was so mad at him for being so selfish like that and he was at the peak of his career when he went with us, now he's garbage. I did think that Billups would of finished his career here but now that we made the change it doesn't really matter anymore. I think we can turn this little mishap around. People are always so quick to blame AI for this...I guess that's what gave him the drive he's had his whole career is people like you who hate on him constantly...Even if we don't end up having a fairy tale season and don't resign AI, I respect the little guy and the things he's accomlished in this league of giants. Hand's down one of the greatest to ever walk the hardwood...face it champion or not... With a further note I have to agree with Mark with this one: “Now Joe turned this team into shit?

They need to start playing right defensively...it's ridiculous how teams just run right through a lane or can get open shots when they want now. I don't think that just blaming iverson would be the solution, i think it would happen even if we had chauncey still. It just is upsetting to everyone to see there beloved pistons go down like they are, but we still have 62 more games to go, let's not just give up on 'em becuz of a bad skid in the road. We have to stay positive. ok let’s not blame one individual(even though i would like to have curry fired, cuz i knew from the start he would be bad). i would have to say it’s the entire team.
