Anyone here still think the Pistons get better after the Trade?

Losing to the NJ Nets(which is considered a non-playoff team this year) successfully illustrates that this viewpoint is simply a joke.

It might not work out for them, but it's only one game, and their first game at that. It's wiser to wait before the deal is judged a failure.

It's his first game with the team, what did you expect? It'll get better once they develop some chemistry together. The loss certainly can't be blamed on Iverson.

The Pistons lost their first few games with Sheed too.

Allen Iverson has completely ruined their defense and the next is the team chemistry...

I think you are a little slow..the Pacers beat the Celtics last week OMFG!@! Pacers>>>Celtics Hibbert>>>KG Granger>>>>Pierce..give me a break,it was AI's first game..give it a couple months to judge who got the better end of the deal.

You really didn't address my point. At all.

Well, The Pacers are actually a decent team this year and they almost beat the Suns after the victory over Celts, it seems that they can beat anyone in this league if they play well.

Are you kidding me? One game? Really? Did you not know the Piston team that went to the Eastern Conference Finals last year lost to the New York Knicks, playing all of their starters. So your viewpoint is simply a joke to judge this team by one game. They aren't just learning to play with Iverson, they are still learning to play under a new coach. Mcdyess is set get bought out, so if he returns, the only difference will be Iverson instead of Billups.

It is one game you ****ing idiot. You can't go from the Nugget's game style to the Piston's play style and expect to immediately win. Your intelligence and name are outdated.

One game? People are saying the same thing after the Suns and Mavs trade last season and they did end up with early playoff exit...

Bobcats beat New Orleans, didn't you consider them a top team in the league? Hm.....

Well what matters is the way they lose. The Hornets and the Celtics were simply not in their best form during the loss while the Pistons lost because their defense got worse, which is a serious problem even when they play at their best.

You're a ****in idiot if you blame AI for the loss yesterday. Devin Harris was the reason the Nets won. Dude was on fire. And the Pistons' shot selection wasn't that great.

No they weren't...They were saying it was a bad trade for both teams. The Pistons on the other hand got a future HOF for a finals MVP (both aging), which was a much more even trade than trading a poor shooting bald guy for an up and coming player, and a severely declining big for a defensively gifted PF.


edit: and at the poster above me...Who was guarding Devin? Yes the Pistons looked worse defensively last night, but considering AI has been playing for one of the worst defensive teams for the past few years it will be a transition.

useless thread...and stupid one..
