sheed WHAT THE F IS GOING ON WITH THE PISTONS??

WOI contributor Lydia weighs in on the Pistons recent struggles against absolutely atrocious teams…

The Pistons decided to change their lineup (yet again) to fix their so-called problems and it started off with a loss to the crappy Wizards. We gave them their 4th win, we should be so proud. Their top scorer is out, again, with another injury, and their second leading scorer only scored 10 points. Basically we got beat by Caron Butler=30+ points and Juan Dixon-16 points, 7 assists. I don’t recall Juan playing that well for us last year, do you? The redeemed themselves by beating the Pacers and barely beating the Bobcats. Ugly wins, especially the Bobcats, but we will take them…at least it is a start.

The Pistons three biggest problems are defense, learning to adapt to Iverson, and finishing the game. They know how to play defense, soooo practice and play…simple enough. For the other two problems – How about bringing Iverson off the bench? It may be a hard sell, but it could work. Even if its just temporary, it would give the Pistons and Iverson a legitimate chance to learn to play cohesively. It could provide a punch off the bench when the Pistons start to lose the lead. Utilize Iverson’s strength, let him take over in those situations. Its been working in San Antonio with Manu for years now. Or how about bringing Maxiell and Iverson off the bench? Why hasn’t Curry thought of this-oh, I know, because he SUCKS. The Sixers just fired Mo Cheeks, I say fire Curry and hire Mo.

Overall, improvement over last week and I gave all the credit to Piston veteran Antonio McDyess. His contribution has been small, but solid. Mainly he brings intensity and determination back to the team. He actually screamed at his teammates during the 4th quarter debacle in the Bobcats game imploring them not to lose the game. Maybe McDyess should yell at them every 4th quarter to get their crap together. If he can’t do it, I would be more than happy to do it…..provided I get to sit in those seats right next to the bench. You ever wonder who those people are who are sitting there? WOI and I have never been able to figure it out.

What'd you think of this?
