Curry: "AI and Pistons didn't work"

[Pugz]

Are Allen Iverson's days in Detroit over?

According to the Detroit News, Pistons coach Michael Curry spoke on Saturday as though Iverson's tenture with the team is now over, talking about how both parties tried to make things work but it just did not happen.

"It just didn't work; it didn't blend well," Curry said before Saturday's 95-90 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. "There was a lot to do with guys changing roles and accepting different roles you have to play. It's unfortunate things didn't go as we thought they would."

Curry thinks Iverson, 33, still can be a force in the league.

"He's still a starter in this league; he's going to have a lot of success," Curry said. "This was a tough situation this year. As he gets older, he'll have to do different thing so his body can hold up for the rigors of an NBA season. He'll probably have to adapt a little bit, because I'm not sure how many teams will be centered just around him, but he's still a very capable player, and at times this year, he was really, really good for us.

"A lot of things maybe I could have done better, and the players could have done better, and maybe he could have done better. All of us, we haven't gotten it done this year. By no means do I want to make it seem it was just on Allen.

"The reality is we're in the position we're in, and we have to make the most of."

A blind man can see that this didn't work, a blind man can also see that Curry and the Pistons didn't work.

A blind man couldve seen that it wasnt going to work....

 

[playmaker7]

Haha could his statement be more obvious

 

[Lake Louise]

Well, thanks for pointing out the obvious Curry, what`s next, telling us the color of the Pistons jerseys, or the name of their stadium??

 

[Pugz]

It would be funny to listen to Amir and Curry, they are soooooo dumb lol.

 

[stavi]

what is there arena name? lol jk.... any one could have seen this coming. Iverson needs to take a lesser role on what ever team he goes to.

 

[RipCity32]

I believe Iverson could of worked here. The problem is, the idiot that said this statement has no idea how to make it work.

Curry ruined this team more than Iverson did.

 

[Pugz]

Well said Rip.

 

[RipCity32]

Indeed. I'm really pissed that he couldn't of made this work. The Pistons have the potential to be one of the better teams in the league. We should of started AI at PG, Kwame at C. Sheed at PF. And just ran the offense through Iverson.

As you can see we can't even win without Iverson. All fingers point to Curry.

 

[Lake Louise]

I really wish this worked too, but, it`s a business, and in businesses, sometimes you take gambles, and this gamble didn`t necessarily pay off.



Speaking of Kwame. He had a nice game last night.

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah, he should of played a lot more in the 2nd half too. But no, Michael Curry is our coach.

 

[Pugz]

Rip, me and you need to be the GM/Coach.. we would have made it work.

 

[RipCity32]

Haha, probably made it work better than Curry did.

 

[Pugz]

Oh we would have.

Mike Curry for coach of the year *Facepalm*
