Langlois: This one is pushing the boundaries of rational. We’ve gotten a smattering of “fire the coach” submissions lately – to be expected any time a team that’s strung together seven straight 50-win seasons starts experiences growing pains. But Joe Dumars understands that the push for change was his initiative and that the change he handed Curry – trading the point guard who grew up with the pieces around him over six seasons and turning the team over to a 22-year-old with stardom in his future – was a magnitude 10. Has Curry made some rookie coaching mistakes? Sure – every first-time head coach does. But there has been nothing out of line with expectations – and nothing that would tempt Joe D to make a change at that position.
wow
I am going to go vomit.
The first year coach argument holds no water when you consider Rick Carlisle won 50 games his first year with a rotation of:
Chucky Atkins, Jerry Stackhouse, Michael Curry (oh the irony), Ben Wallace, Cliff Robinson, Corliss Williamson, Jon Barry, Zeljko Rebraca, Damon Jones
while Curry will lose 45 games with a rotation of:
Rodney Stuckey, Allen Iverson, Tayshaun Prince, Antonio McDyess, Rasheed Wallace, Rip Hamilton, Jason Maxiell, Arron Afflalo, Amir Johnson.
^ oooooooooh baby thats a good post.

Marc Stein: You are certainly not the first to voice that opinion. Curry has generated some pretty lukewarm reviews. But you can also make the case that judging him on this season alone isn't the fairest. Joe D knew this season had the potential to be very, very painful. I know it's a shock to the system for most Pistons fans, but I still think you'll be happier going forward with that flexibility to make changes than you would have been keeping Chauncey and losing in the second round or the East finals again. That team, as constituted, was no better than No. 4 in the East. Maybe No. 3 on experience.
