Iverson has really hurt the Pistons this year. He hasn't gelled at all with his new teammates, and that has been one of the biggest problems this year. Flint, I agree.

So there's that. As for the Pistons, they have achieved something this year I'd never, as a Jazz fan, thought I'd say: I feel sorry for them. Ain't that a b*tch? I also think "It's Iverson's fault" is kind of a facile explanation for their woes. Rasheed has been inconsistent, and at times pretty bad. And a 3-guard rotation of Billups+Iverson+anybody would be better than Stuckey+Iverson+anybody. Missing McDyess a big chunk of the year didn't help either. Also, running out coaches because Sheed didn't like them probably was a bad strategy. When he quit on the team IN THE PLAYOFFS two years in a row, maybe some other course of action was called for, knowwhat'msayin'? Well…Wade and Stuckey are both bipedal, carbon-based life forms.

You're kidding right? I almost shot my Wonton noodles through my nose when I read that. “Many have compared Stuckey to Dwyane Wade…” You’re kidding right?

But Iverson is playing really poorly over this losing stretch. He is 52-119, 27-37, with 3 three pointers, for a true shooting percentage of 48%. Those are horrible numbers. The Pistons have gone from being the 6th best offense in the league last year to the 23rd best this year. And basically one thing has changed. Not directed at you guys, but it's amazing to me the amount of cognitive dissonance there is around the play of Allen Iverson. The mainstream media can't seem to assimilate the fact that while he (undeservedly) will be headed to the hall of fame, he very clearly has been a below average NBA player this year and a huge detriment to the team.
