P.S It seems Allen Iverson does not like coming off the bench for the Pistons. This is a big big problem.
The NBA playoffs is right around the corner (man the season has flew by) and this a problem for head coach Mike Currey. How is he going to handle this?
Does he continue to play Seattle area player Rodney Stuckey and “Rip” Hamilton? Will he go back to AI starting?
The Pistons are a veteren team so by playoff time, this problem may be smoothed over but I do not see it.
Iverson has started games since he first started playing sports as a little kid playing football or basketball.
A lot of you don’t know that AI was a outstanding QB in high school but he decided to go with basketball.
And he has been one of the greatest players of all time in the NBA. A fan favorite.
Yes he may have lost a step but in my mind, it is wrong to bring Iverson off the bench. He is still a very dangerous scorer.
Truth be told, this was a terrible trade. If you know how Iverson plays, he dominates the ball at times. On the Pistons, that is a no no. Why GM Joe Dumars made this trade and traded “Mr Big Shot” Chauncy Billips is beyond me.
Guess he wanted to change things up after winning the Eastern division for four years but not going to the finals. So Dumars decided to shake things up and bring in AI. It has been a terrible mix.
Having said that, again I think Curry should move AI back to the starting lineup in time for the playoffs. G.C.
