Allen Iverson Done For the Year?

Of course he is...that was what he wanted. What AI wants AI gets I guess. After openly complaining about coming off the bench, and "being hurt" last week, Joe Dumars gave AI just what he wanted. HE told us that AI would not play the rest of the year and covered it up by saying it was because of his back.

Hey, at least he didn't fail a drug test because of some Lipovox diet pills, or get suspended for too many techs like Sheed always does. He just pretty much ruined the team chemistry from the day he arrived.

This was one of the most excruciating seasons I can remember, and I remember the "Teal" days. Besides the total lack of team chemistry we had all year, the new coach Michael Curry is one of the worst team managers I have ever seen. We can blame the players for a lot of it, but Curry never figured out what to do with this team. Although Rip, AI, and others were hurt at times to disrupt this a bit, Curry not once found a reliable line up to run out there every night. I can understand that getting a player like AI was going to change things, but after a month, or 2 there should be some consistancy. Not here.

As for AI. This guy can go to hell. He talked about how he'd do what was best for the team all year. While he was recently hurt. Then 2 days back and he is whining to the pres about how he would rather retire than come off the bench. NEWSFLASH: AI has never won a damn thing. He is not a good team player no matter how hard he plays. HE doesn't make anyone around him better. We lost Chauncey and got AI. That was it. Denver is the 2 seed in the West now and we are close to missing the playoffs and winning at least 20 less games than we would have if Billups were still here.

GOOD RIDDANCE AI! Go play somewhere else and jack up 50 shots a night and "get yours". That shit don't play in Detroit, pal.

Pistons Finally Win a Game

While head coach Michael Curry is probably more concerned about leads for insurance to pay his family off after fans get a hold of him, today the Pistons got back Rip Hamilton. In doing so they also picked up a win after a 3 game losing streak.

While it is pretty unlikely that the Pistons miss the playoffs, it is pretty likely that they will end up as the 8th seed. You know the spot reserved for teams that wouldn't have finished in the top 15 in the west. A sub .500 season with no playoff hope. A owner dies, and a coach that may be the worst in decades. A trade for a super star that super sucks.

What a great year!

Tigers lose Robertson and Everett

Both Nate Robertson and Adam Everett were hurt this week in spring training games. Neither was hurt off the field playing with toyslike another relief pitcher that hasn't played for about 3 years.


Shortstop Adam Everett hobbled off the field after he sprained his left ankle while sliding into second base on the very first play of the afternoon. Then Nate Robertson was hit on his left (pitching) thumb by a throw from Danny Worth -- Everett’s replacement -- during an attempted double play.

Neither are expected to miss a lot of time and probably be back before the start of the season.

End of the season if these guys don't play IMO. Yeah I couldn't type that with a straight face ;).

Pistons Without 3 All-stars

The Detroit Pistons are playing with out 3 all-stars. rasheed Wallace, Allen Iverson, and Rip Hamilton. This comes at a terrible time for the team as the Pistons are currently 2 games from falling to the 8th and final spot for the Eastern Conference playoffs.

The Pistons have adcvanced tot he Eastern conference Finals for the past 6 seasons. This year with the loss of such key players, it may be difficult for them to even make the palyoffs.

Of course Antonio Mcdyess is playing out of his mind. All other palyers tak enotice. Dice will eat your children. While other player asre stepping up instead of possibly doing an admin job search for a day job when they get demoted McDyess is clearly the reason the Pistons have a chance.
