I didn’t like Curry’s team defense last year. The players didn’t seem to buy into it either. He was also to inconsistent,one game he would have his team prepared and the next game he would not. Curry does not compare to Kuester but Curry should not have been a head coach last year either. He possibly could have been a better coach if he had a few more years experience as an assitant. He needed leadership and organizational skiles and experience as an assitant coach would have helped him gain that.

TR,

Not every NBA analyst is saying that the Pistons will fail to make the EC playoffs this season.

I, for one, expect Detroit to re-establish itself this season as a solid playoff team in the East … provided that Kuester knows enough about the NBA game to position Will Bynum as the 3rd-string PG on his squad, behind both Rodney Stuckey [starter] and Ben Gordon [primary back-up].

If Kuester dvelops a rotation like that … with Daye, Washington, Summers and Jerebko getting valuable minutes at the wing positions behind Hamilton and Prince … there is more than enough scoring punch coming off the Pistons’ bench – in the form of Gordon and Villanueva – to get their team back on track this season.

Every analyst is saying that the pistons wont make the playoffs. I don’t understand that. They have a better talent than last year, they wont have any A.I in the locker room. And they seem that they are developing good team chemistry, they have the best 4 guard rotation in the league, and big ben looks good in red, white and blue. I’m excited.

Steve, no question that Curry had a tough job. But what indicators did he give that he’d be a good coach once things smoothed out?

Curry was also on the bench for what, 3 years before getting his first head coaching job? He had no college head coaching experience, only was an assistant coach for the Pistons and had played with many of the players that he was coaching.
Kuester probably also won’t have to deal with Dumars trading away the leader of his team 6 games into the season… or with A.i. and Sheed quiting half way through the season, or waiting two months for their starting PF to come back to Detroit. That team was a joke last year. I got sick of hearing about all their crying.
I really don’t see it going down like that this year.
I know, hold off on the praise until the coach proves himself, well we could say, “hold off on firing the coach before he gets a team that is fully rebuilt.”
