    HE PLAYED 18 MINUTES. The pistons were doing great with Iverson in in the 4th. He shot 3-4 and had a steal and an assist. Then he was taken out for stuckey who was shooting 3-14 and jacked up a shitty 3 and turned it over! Curry is a jackass.

    Iverson should just shut up and get over it. He's gone after this season. The Pistons are better off without him even playing in my book. All he does is mess up the chemistry when he's on the court. The Pistons should be happy that his contract is off the books after this year...which is the only reason why he's in a Pistons uniform as it is.

    That doesn't change the fact that detroit is still a good team that can get at least to the second round (if they play orlando), and have a respectable season. AI is dominant in the playoffs and would be very dangerous off the bench.

    It really does actually. The reason they made countless ECFs was because of the great chemistry they had. They never had a superstar on their team, they just had a bunch of really, really good players who played within a particular system and knew their roles. That's why they were so good. Their chemistry. They haven't had that since the AI trade and if they don't have it by now, they're not going to get it. This team is going nowhere, period. You can say it's not Iverson's fault, but who else can you point the finger at? Maybe Joe Dumars, but he's not the one on the court playing. Iverson has been an absolute cancer to this team, and he continues to show why with his immature behavior. Coming out and saying he'd rather retire than play off the bench...complaining about PT...etc...crap like that. His attitude and style of play have absolutely killed this team this year, and if they win a couple games in the playoffs, I think you might, MIGHT be able to consider that a success. This of course, assumes they make the playoffs.
