Wow, this is news. Coach meets players before season starts. Who would have thought about doing that?
Supposedly Flip Saunders has been travelling all over … all over, uh, America to meet his new players, uh, well, his old players or rather the current players for the Washington Wizards, where Flip will be coaching.
The big key was getting to know Gilbert Arenas, because now that he knows him, Gilbert will straighten up and give a full effort all the time. cough cough cough. Good luck …read more

Flip Saunders
Rumor has Flip Saunders, almost wrote Flip Wilson, coaching the 76ers. Remember he was coaching my Pistons last year. Flip Saunders was an amazing regular season coach, but just could not harness it for the playoffs. No word on how good of a coach Flip Wilson would be.
Saunders most recently coached the Detroit Pistons, and was the head coach of the Eastern Conference …read more

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Yeah, Rip rips Flip. Say that 10 times quickly. Heck, say ‘10 times quickly’ ten times quickly.
Enough with the quickly. Rip was unhappy last year in what should have been a very happy year.
“I have always been happy,” Hamilton said Wednesday. “I had a son (at the start of last season), which was one of the greatest times of my life. That was not a disappointment. Nothing off the court was a disappointment.”

Michael Curry will try to right the Piston ship
The NBA is proud to bring a brand new coach to your area. They did it for 8 teams.
Think about that. 8 new coaches.
Ever heard of a brand new coach immediately winning it all? It has probably happened, but not to my knowledge.
Usually you just fired the last coach because the team stunk so bad he could not make them win.
So this year we bring you the 8 trying to make …read more

Michael Curry
Not in my wildest imagination would it seem that Joe Dumars would hand the reins over to an unproven coach. In Joe D we trust, but this is to the extreme.
Michael Curry, former Piston, gets the head coaching job in Detroit.
The move comes one week after Dumars fired Flip Saunders. Curry will sign a three-year deal worth with a fourth season a team option. The deal is reportedly worth $2.5 million a year. This will be the first head coaching job for 39-year-old Curry.

Why would Joe Dumars, one of the smartest GMs in the NBA, hire a NBA head coach with no experience?
Michael Curry was an assistant for the now fired Flip Saunders.
Years ago Michael Curry played for the Pistons. He was somewhat of a defensive wizard with a basic set shot, standing around 6′ 5″.
Curry was traded to Toronto or Milwaukee or some place in part of a bigger package deal. When …read more

Who will be the next coach of the Detroit Pistons?
Saturday Joe Dumars spoke to Flip about his final year. All decisions have to go through the owner Bill Davidson. Evidently Bill sees what my good friend RonB pointed out to me, “good thing the Pistons did not go to the finals or Flip would get a …read more

Detroit had the answer and it was Antonio McDyess. Rasheed Wallace was moved off of Kevin Garnett and Antonio McDyess was now guarding him. Kevin still made plenty of shots, but they were a little harder to come by.
