The...Allen Iverson does not make the Pistons worse. The reason why the Pistons record is so bad is because they have a rookie coach who can't make the players play the way that their suppose to.<BR/><BR/>Like I said before, the Pistons won seven straight when Rip Hamilton was on the bench due to inury and Allen Iverson and Rodney Stuckey was in the starting line-up. However, as soon as Coach Curry announced that Rip Hamilton would be coming off the bench, all of sudden, Rodney Stuckey gets amnesia and doesn't know how to play. The only explanation for why he all of suddenly acted like he couldn't play alongside Allen Iverson, is that he felt bad about taking Rip Hamiltons place in the starting line-up. <BR/><BR/>Like I said before, Coach Curry did not allow Rip Hamilton to play alongside Allen Iverson because he had this silly notion that Rip and A.I. couldn't play alongside each other, because their style of play is different. However from what I've seen, the two play great together ever time they have the opportunity to be on the floor at the same time. You can't judge Allen Iverson by how he played when he first came to the team. Of course when he first came to the team he was new, he was nervous and wasn't use to anyone yet. Unfortunately Rip Hamilton got injured, just as Allen Iverson was beginning to get used to his team. Then when Rip got better, instead of sitting Rodney Stuckey and allowing Rip Hamilton and A.I.to continue to build some chemistry with one another, he went with a three gaurd line-up. Something else the new guy had to try to adjust to. I think A.I. has done pretty well considering all of the changes that coach Curry put this team through. <BR/><BR/>Of course Rodney Stuckey is going to be happy, running up and down the court and playing with a lot of spirit, now that his buddy Rip Hamilton is back in the starting line-up. Like I said before, I sense that he felt bad for sending Rip to the bench.<BR/><BR/>I would have loved to see Rip and A.I. play together, I think they would have been very fun duo to watch. unfortunately coach Curry just wouldn't give them a chance.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100701855754935046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1968441049106477911.post-57607138694139236322009-02-28T12:19:00.000-05:002009-02-28T12:19:00.000-05:00I'll never understand when Pistons fans don't see ...I'll never understand when Pistons fans don't see that Iverson makes the team worse. <BR/><BR/>Not that he's a bad player, he just is a polar opposite from how the team is built.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
