Allen Iverson Fakes Wrap Around Pass To Mcdyess

Did y'all see Allen Iverson Fake that wrap around pass to Mcdyess?

That was sweet! If you missed it I have the video below...

With A New Starting Line-up The Piston's Beat The Wizards

Coach Curry's new starting line-up seems to be a working out just fine. The Pistons have now won three in a row with Rodney Stuckey running the point. Allen Iverson is the Allen Iverson that were use to seeing. Tayshaun Prince is doing well at Power-foward, Rip Hamilton is doing great at small foward, and Rasheed Wallace doesn't seem to have any complaints about the starting line-up going small. So all is good. Once the Pistons get into a rhythm, especially with Antonio Mcdyess back on board, this team is going to be great.

The Pistons beat the Wizards 88 - 74.

Don't tell me the Wizards only won 4 games this season. Yikes !!!

Rodney Stuckey In Starting Lineup

After the Pistons suffered their fifth Sunday loss of the season against the Nicks early Tuesday, coach Curry decided to tinker with the starting lineup. Rodney Stuckey will start along side, Allen Iverson, Rip Hamilton Tayshaun Prince and Rasheed Wallace.

Rodney Stuckey is a great player, but I'm afraid that the starting lineup will be too small. With that said, I can't wait to see Dyess back in a Pistons uniform. Although coach Curry made it known that Dyess will not start, I predict that once the Pistons get Dyess back, their defense and offense will become more steady and Kwame Brown will return to the starting lineup.

The Pistons Beat The Spurs

I feel really good about the Pistons win over the Spurs Tuesday night. It was a complete team effort. What I enjoyed about it the most was seeing Rasheed Wallace come to life after receiving a technical foul. 'Sheed heated up and almost single handedly erased the Spurs ten point lead. That was very fun to watch. The Spurs once led 60-50.

Tim Duncan was completely dominant in the first half, beating Rasheed 18-2. However the second half was a different story. Rasheed Wallace knocked down 17 points. Tim Duncan only scored one point in the fourth quarter.

Allen Iverson had a great game as well. I was happy to see A.I. playing like himself... getting steals, penetrating, breaking down defense and making layups. When A.I. isn't playing like himself its actually more of a mental thing. The games that he didn't play well in were most likely the games where he was more focused on fitting in than playing like himself.

Once Allen Iverson stop trying to fit in and just be himself, he'll find that he fit in very well. The A.I. that showed up Tuesday night is the A.I. that I'm used to seeing. One that is scrappy and very focused on getting the job done. That me feel really good.

The bench did another phenomenal job. I loved watching the Tony Parker and Arron Afflalo matchup. Arron's defense on Tony Parker was spectacular. He did an excellent job stopping Tony from penetrating and making layups at will. Love that shocked look Tony had on his face. I know he thought he was invincible.

The Pistons beat the Spurs 89-77.

Shame On You Allen Iverson

Allen Iverson was the only person who did not show up to practice Thursday morning. It was Thanksgiving so I can understand why he didn't want to show up, but sometimes you have to do things that you don't want to do. Allen Iverson made a poor decision not show up for practice, especially with his reputation. Not showing up for practice is not how you gain the trust of your coaches or teamates. It seems like he would atleast try to make a good impression especially being new to the team. Doesn't seem like A.I changed to much...

Pistons Give Cav's A Suprise Beat Down

The Cavaliers dominated the Pistons in the first half Wednesday night. The second half however a was different story.

Arron Afflalo gave the Pistons a much needed spark. Like the Veteran ex-Piston Lindsay Hunter, Afflalo's energy is just incredible.

With the help of Arron Afflalo, the Pistons came alive in the second half, ambushed the Cav's and whipped the pants off of them. Rasheed Wallace knocked down some three's and the rest is history.

The old Pistons team, did not have anyone who can penetrate and attack the paint, now they have four. With the addition of Allen Iverson, Will Bynum, Rodney Stuckey, and Arron Afflalo, the Pistons have plenty of weapons who can go inside and attack the paint. In fact, let me add Mr. Point/Forward, Tayshaun Prince to the list. I mean really, What can't Tayshaun do?

Check out these stats! Last night against the Cavilier's, the Pistons scored 44 points in the paint to the Cavilier's 22. Now, That's impressive! Especially considering the fact that the Cav's have a human freight train on their team (Lebron James).

The Pistons beat the Cavilier's 96 to 89. Next opponent, The Boston Celtics.

The Pistons Are Starting To Look Good

The Pistons with newly acquired Allen Iverson are starting to click and it's a fun thing to watch. Once they get Rip on board, this is going to be a bad team and I mean that in a good way... I'm excited.
