Flip Saunders was fired today by the Detroit Pistons. Joe Dumars who is the president of basketball operations for Detroit stated, “It’s time for a new voice to lead our team.” In Flip’s three seasons, the Pistons were 176-70 in the regular season and 30-21 in the playoffs. The problem was the Pistons fell short all three years in the playoffs by losing in the Eastern Conference Finals. Has anyone in management with the Pistons thought about the fact the Pistons are getting OLD and might be past their prime? Good luck to whoever takes the reigns next!

What is this guy going to do? With an over the hill and volatile Rasheed, NO real center, a banged up Billups, and no bench how the heck is he supposed to win? He got as far as they could with the talent he had. Now who do they get to coach this group? Isaiah
I hear they are going to promote assistant coach Michael Curry.
