as for Laimbeer, he’s proven. He may not be the best choice, but he’s legit, and a definate upgrade over the chump we have now. Laimbeer has won more championships as a coach than Chuck Daly and Larry Brown combined.

I agree. Said it the other day, firing a head coach mid-season is giving up on the season. Can’t do that while you are still playoff bound. However, I’d have no problem if there was a coaching change in the off season.

Eddie agree with the first part of your post, up until the Tay is the best point guard, he can fill in fine, but relying on him to do it all the time is not a good idea.

And why have Iverson at the point, you just said Stuckey shoots too much to be the point, so instead you think Iverson should still be running the point? We don’t have a point guard because “Coach” (yeah I put it in quotation marks big whoop wanna fight about it) Curry supposedly wanted more players to make decisions with the ball so he thought he wouldn’t need a true point guard.

he needs to stop coaching in the way that makes me think he is living vicariously through the team.

And Max ain’t getting traded, unless it is a really good deal. Plus he plays so hard he burns out, I doubt he can be a consistent starter in his career. But I definitely look forward to finding out

aaron, I’ll give you a good reason to axe Curry. He lacks leadership, experiance, and balls. His play calling is weak, rotations are inconsistant, and anyone who tries to tell me Stuck is a point guard is an idiot. Stuck wants to shoot just as much as AI and Rip. Hell Tay is the best pg in that line up. And if we we’re going to run a small lineup, I would have Bynum in. He can direct a team, set up plays, and doesn’t feel he has to score to validate his playing time.
Why did Curry give up on having Iverson run the point? We all knew it would take some time for them to gel, but durint that time everyone was having fun and trying to win. And all the players we’re just getting used to something new. FIRE CURRY, PLAY MAX, BENCH STUCKEY

does anyone think maybe these few DNP-CD’s are possibly a sign that Max might get traded? I was thinking that.

I really hope he does, Pistons team have been holding him back from first time he stepped on the court.

Id love to see him traded and then be a starting PF on a team and come back to play Detroit and just dunk all over Sheed and McDyess and heck the whole team.

This is just getting insanely out of hand here!

Pleaseee Curry, observe how Poplovich handles Spurs rotations….We’re similar in many ways to the build of that team with the exception of more young talent. Observe and learn Curry. Demand more veteran leadership and veteran bench roles (certain starters coming off the bench). When the team is playing ilke crap, aka last night, let the veterans coach the time out. Force them to become active leaders over the young talent and maybe then they’ll step their game up.

what will a head coach firing do… honestly, tell me cause i really dont know… all i hear is fire curry, but i havent read a legitimate reason why??? (if they are even supported with a reason)… will it better the team… i dont think so, just because we change personnel doesnt mean the chemistry and the way the team performs will change

Agree Amber, Rip has not gotten a fair shake.

And guys you can’t call someone a bandwagoner if they are still watching the Pistons and commenting on the games. That means they are still here, if they give up on everything Pistons (watching, commenting, etc) then you can call them that.

Instead of a negative Fire Curry campaign (while accurate) Let’s try to lobby for something postitive. The negative attention has to be affecting the team.

I propose the campaign to put either Kwame Brown, or possibly Dyess back in the starting lineup.

And I hear Edjuardo Najera might be available from the Nets. Have you guys ever seen him and sheed on the court? Always talking and laughing with each other. Then you get Najera and Herrmann. Plus I’m a little biased because I’m part Mexican.
