Why wouldn't Iverson be pissed? He had no time on the court. At least Lamar Odom and Ginobli get around 30 mpg..[/QUOTE]
Because Phil Jackson and Greg Poppovich are smart coaches. Unlike Michael Curry who subs out AI and puts in a 2nd year overrated player that turns the ball over twice at the end of the game that made the Pistons lose.
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
[QUOTE=JustinJDW]To be honest, I kind of agree with Iverson in this Game. Iveron did not play all 3rd Quarter, then when he got in the 4th, he led the way. Then they take him out for Stuckey. Stuckey who is shooting 3-14, while Iverson is shooting 5-8.
Not right. Iverson should have played more. A lot more.[/QUOTE]
he should do as he is told without public complaint and without undermining his coach.

Yeah, pretty much. I love AI, and I'm well aware of how he can have a negative effect on a game with his shot jacking and inability to do much other than score. That said, he's good in doses, and those doses should be more than 18 minutes a game. Tight games that go down to the wire are usually won by having someone who can get into the paints and draw fouls, and there aren't many players in the league who are better than AI at that. Plus, Cleveland plays a lot of small shooting guards, so it's not like he's even going to hurt you as much on defense as he normally would.
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
If you ask me, the coach STILL makes poor decisions with him, even coming off the bench.
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
I'd start to care a bit if this wasn't only one of the many problems the Pistons have (many of which started before AI got there).
Ball don't lie though, and neither does the record...
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
[QUOTE=bdreason]Being benched for Rip Hamilton is one thing.
Being benched for Rodney Stuckey? No way AI's ego can take that blow.[/QUOTE]
Exactly. Iverson was playing well there at the end. Stuckey has not impressed me at all. Will Bynum looks like a better player than Stuckey at this point.
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
Michael Curry is the Worst Coach in the NBA. Avery Johnson should be the new Coach of the Pistons next year.

If Avery was going to coach anywhere, the Pistons would be the perfect job for him.
Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
meh! IVERSON is always pissed!

Re: iverson pissed after cleveland loss
Iverson needs to get out of there. I like him a lot, but he's clearly not happy and so is the rest of the team and the fans. I'm optimistic though, Pistons are only a few pieces away - maybe even one - from contendership in the East. My two cents.
