Pistons fire Michael Curry
After just one year as the Detroit Pistons head coach, Joe Dumars has kindly asked Michael Curry to get the hell out and never come back.
Curry only managed to squeeze out 39 wins for the Pistons this year, including a first round playoff loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The last-year Pistons led by Flip Saunders finished 2nd in the Eastern Conference with 59 wins, eventually getting eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Boston Celtics.

When dissecting what really happened to the Pistons this year, it’s quite easy to understand why the 20 game drop in wins. Allen Iverson. When Joe Dumars decided to trade team-first guard Chauncey Billups for me-first guard Allen Iverson, the Pistons quickly became a horrible team. Iverson screwed up all team chemistry, couldn’t make his teammates better, and stunted the growth of Rodney Stuckey. The good news is Allen Iverson won’t be back as a Piston and that alone should swing back 10 more wins for Detroit.
Have you seen a single Pistons game this season?
Richard Hamilton was the main player who got Curry fired. He was mad that his boyfriend Chauncey Billups left and he was mad that he got benched and etc. Rip and Curry been at it since Curry became coach.
If the Pistons are so much better without A.I., they would have won the majority of the games they played without him.
Is it A.I.’s fault that the Pistons were swept by Cleveland in the playoffs?
Is it his fault that even after he was out for the rest of the season that they continued to play under .500?
It’s funny that you try to bring down A.I. but in reality you make yourself look stupid. Do some research.
