Just wondering if anyone in the forum thinks the pistons will add to there bench or if they need two. It seems like they are two guys short and with Ant gone they are missing that 6th man. |

Depends if Dyess is really gone. Chances are at least 50-50 he's back after 30 days from the trade date. I think he understands why he had to be added in the trade and, if it was presented properly by Joe, would not have any ill will about returning. But if he's pissed off about returning to the same team for less money after the buyout or thinks his best chance and last chance to win is with the Celtics, he may be gone and the Pistons will look for a big man as the playoffs approach. |

McDyess will be back and then they will have a proper scoring big man off the bench. Right now, the bench is in good shape everywhere except down low.
I am a bit worried about the Celtics, but I think they would want McDyess more for keeping him from the Pistons, rather than because they actually want him, and I think he would see that. |

I hope Iverson finds his ass on the bench soon...He is toxic to team chemistry. |

Even Stevie Wonder (no disrespect to Stevie) can see that Iverson is NOT the Pistons problem...dag-gee, what's up with the Iverson 'hateration'?
Personally, I would say that Iverson needs to be a bit more aggressive in shooting, he is not shooting enough of this team. Curry is trying to fit Iverson into a 'slug system' as oppose to adjusting toward Iverson's 'high powered' game.
Curry has single handily diminished the team chemistry since he took the coaching job by haphazardly utilizing his starters, bench and role players!
Please stop blaming Iverson for the Pistons ills!

Its way to early in the season to even be concerned. Dont blame Curry and dont blame Iverson, were just trying to figure some things out. This is a very long season, be patient. |

Did anyone see last nights Pistons, Hornets game?
Without Iverson, the Pistons actually looked like the Pistons! Iverson is a great talent but it's gotta' be hard playing with him on your team. |

Since Iverson has been gone with his hurt back, Pistons are actually playing basketball again. It's amazing how bad they suck when he's around. |

It will be interesting to see what happens when Iverson comes back. I really hope he excepts his new role. If he does the Pistons could actually go a long way in the playoffs. |

Yet when Hamilton was hurt they had what a 8 game winning streak. They are broken team and have been for years, no one player is at fault. |
