Several Pistons Laugh After Kuester's Ejection

Several hours after more than one third of his team failed to show up for a morning shootaround as a 'player protest', John Kuester was ejected from Detroit's 110-94 loss at Philadelphia.

Tracy McGrady, Rodney Stuckey and Ben Wallace were televised laughing as Kuester walked off the court following his ejection.

Those three players, along with Austin Daye and Chris Wilcox also missed practice and were in uniform, but did not play. The Pistons played just six players.

Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince were not in uniform.

I was laughing when i saw them laughing at Kuester.

Ugh, I can't WAIT to see what they were protesting over.

Highly unprofessional

Kuester should win an award for most hated coach by Detroit fans.

 

[Yankees2772]

That honor is going to be taken by the next coach, and the coach after that, and the coach after that... Oh, and 98% of all of the previous ones as well.

 

[RipCity32]

Lol, no.
I don't know if there were any fans who hated Brown. And I didn't hate Carlisle or Saunders.

Curry and Kuester are awful coaches though.

Classless. I seen it on SportsCenter last night & seen them laughing about it, I didn't find it funny. You get paid millions, I don't care if you despise your coach or owner, get out there, shut the hell up and play.

 

[Pugz]

honestly our team is so bad we cant even have players go out and pad stats because we're that bad.


so saying a player should go out and play is dumb. our team isnt a team, its just players who wear the same colors. they dont mesh well at all. the lineup that does mesh needs to play all 48 just to lose by 10 points.


and saying tayshaun is negative is idiotic. dude is a trooper. same can be said for rip. its just the management doesnt know how to correctly rebuild a fucking team.

Pretty much. I didnt find anything funny about it at all.

 

[Pugz]

i found it hilarious. kuester is an idiot. well hes just stuck with a horrible team. thats why i find it funny. this is all dumars' falt.

i dont like how daye was one of the players to "protest" though.. hes too young to do that shit.

I found it pretty funny too for the same reasons.

 

[Yankees2772]

I don't see how this is funny or a good move for the players. Why would I want any of those guys on my team in the future (either as the Pistons, or a different team looking to pick one of these guys up). Not what I want to see out of guys who get paid to play basketball. Your team sucks, but how about sucking it up and waiting for next year?

 

[Pugz]

did we say it was good?

 

[RipCity32]

It's funny cause it goes to show how badly Dumars needs to be fired and what a mess he has turned this team into.
The fact they protested really isn't that funny, or laughed at Kuester. But the reason they are doing all of this is hilarious to me.

 

[Pugz]

rip turned down a $19Mill buyout. his final year is only $9.5Mill guarenteed. he would have lost $3.5Mill with that buyout and would be on a celtic team or any other contending team if he took that buyout.

he declined that to not only mess with our team now but to cripple us for the next three seasons. i hope he gets sent home and rots. and if we resign tayshaun this offseason you can kiss my fanhood goodbye. that will only makes us worse for the next five/six seasons.

 

[The Young One]

Here's something to brighten Rip's day. Here's what Tay said on the 23rd

Prince was adamant in an interview with reporters, including the Fox television affiliate in Detroit, that he’s not going to get traded.

“I ain’t going nowhere,” Prince said firmly.

He was asked how he knows.

“Because I know,” he said.

After being pressed on whether Pistons president Joe Dumars had confirmed that to him, Prince said simply, “I’m not going nowhere.”

Lol at Dumars and this whole organization

 

[RipCity32]

I want to blow up the Palace.
Making sure Davidson, Dumars, Kuester, and Prince are inside.

I should probably hate Hamilton too, but I could never do that :/

 

[The Young One]

Tay runs Dumars.

 

[Pugz]

if you hate tay you must hate rip, maybe even more.


i swear, fuck this team.

ill still watch and ill still go see games but im done rooting for them.

lakers and magic. thunder, too. fuck detroit.
