Dear Joe Dumars, Please Don’t Sign Ben Gordon.

If I was cool enough to be able to reach Joe Dumars, I would write him a letter.
I like to keep things brief, so the letter would look something like this:
Mr. Dumars,
I am a loyal Pistons fan. Look, I even have a Pistons blog. But knowing Ben Gordon is at the Palace right now makes me a bit queezy.
Remember how Allen Iverson did with Detroit? Imagine having a player who takes double as many shots, only half of them were ill-advised threes from five feet beyond the arc. Sounds bad, …

•For once, the Pistons looked like a youthful group that could keep up with one of the league’s top teams- until the clock struck 12 [minutes left in the fourth quarter]. Initially up by eight then outscored 32-14 in the final quarter, this was one of the most embarrassing Piston collapses in recent memory.
•This is the first time Detroit has lost four straight home games for eight years. That’s no typo- eight years.
•The loss moved the team to 13-11 at home and .500 continues to …

A team’s struggles can never be entirely placed on a coach’s shoulders, but isn’t it tempting?

The downward era of an aging team full of NBA Champions and All-Stars alike is not the most ideal time to experiment with a coach who has an empty resume.
Michael Curry is trying his damnedest to get this thing to …

Could this be the new Allen Iverson?  The AI that is so devoted to winning a title that he’s willing to give up aspects of his game for the better of the team?
From what I’ve seen in interviews, it looks like it.  The veteran has said numerous times that he wants nothing else than to win a ring with Detroit.  Dumars said he was “bouncing off the walls” with excitement.
“I’ve done so many things in this league as far as being an All-Star, scoring champion, first-team All-NBA and things like …

Joe Dumars finally made good on his word.
His offseason promise to shake the Pistons core has been fulfilled, and a trade deal has been finalized that will send Chauncey Billups and Antonio McDyess to the Denver Nuggets in return for one of the league’s premiere (but aging) point guards: Allen Iverson.
There’s word that Cheikh Samb may also be heading to Denver as well.
I wholeheartedly give my stamp of approval to this trade.  Allen Iverson fits much, much better into the scoring style that Michael Curry has delivered.  AI and Rodney …
