I heard thathe is hurt too. It's not his fault they are struggling, that was a run and gun team, and they dropped in a half-court, back to the basket PF, and just expected to keep running. It doesn't work that way.
Actually the Pistons are finding that out too, integrating AI has been more difficult than I believe they thought it would. He played good last night though, but they were playing the Wizards...

any team that has AI ha got to adjust its line up, let's face it he's a 2 guard in a point guard's body...

Thats what I'm trying to tell people around here. We now have an atypical point (AI) and an atypical center (Sheed) on the floor at the same time. Basically the 2 most important positions on the floor don't exist for us. Personally, I don't think you can win like that, I think you have to have a traditional point or a center to counteract the atypical counterpart, unless of course you have an unbelievable talent at the other position. Like BOS last year, Rondo and Perkins aren't awesome, but they have the big 3 to counteract (although while Perkins isn't great, he does know his position), or the Bulls, because well, Jordan.

rondo and perkins didnt give up anything to the opposing teams they defended well and had the size to match up defensively..their offense wasn't needed but was definitely a bonus..rondo never had a a good game scoringwise in the playoffs last year that his team lost...
If A.I was even 4" taller with the same blinding speed he would have been the greatest scorer the NBA had ever seen..forget MJ A.I would've ave. 40 pts

I agree. Iverson just doesn't fit in Detroit. Honestly, he doesn't seem to fit anywhere that a title is to be won. He was at his best in Philly, where a championship was guaranteed not to come in his time. Detroit would be better off starting Stuckey at pg. He is true to the position.
