Dumars: Curry will return as Pistons' coach
Posted Apr 29 2009 1:28PM
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Michael Curry is coming back as the Detroit Pistons' coach.
Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars held a news conference Wednesday to wrap up a miserable season and he ended any doubt about his plans on the bench by confirming Curry would return.
"It was an up-and-down season for him," Dumars said. "And, an up-and down-season for us."
Curry was 39-43 in his first year as a head coach and his second season in the coaching profession.
A Pistons team that opened the season with high hopes couldn't recover from the loss of All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups in a November trade to Denver for Allen Iverson. Iverson's past-his-prime game and pride proved to be a bad fit in Detroit.
The Pistons plummeted to the last spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs and were swept in four lopsided games by the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Dumars, though, did not blame Curry for Detroit's demise.
"The fact that we made so many changes for a first-year coach, I had to step back and be a little more patient than I have been," Dumars said. "During the season I said to myself, 'What affect is this having on him as a first-year coach.' I tried to put myself in his shoes."
Dumars fired coach Flip Saunders last year after he led the team to the Eastern Conference finals in each of his three seasons.
The Pistons parted ways with Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown in 2005 after he helped them win a title and almost repeat in his two years with them.
Rick Carlisle was fired after two years with the Pistons following an Eastern Conference finals appearance in his second season and NBA Coach of the Year honors in his first.
活塞已死, 有事燒紙
PLZ FIRE DUMARS!!

Chauncey Billups應該感謝Joe Dumars將其送到金塊隊去，因為他留下來，只是陪著Rasheed Wallace等一群球痞 ...

連籃板都輸晒…
其實命中率大家差無幾。
小奧15分都ok，但3個籃板…打緊咩波？

佢咁既唔要命打法都唔知可以捱到幾時
萬一不幸又受傷的話, 熱火就真係玩完了
安東尼終於入到第二圈:icon110:
第3節爆1段黃蜂就玩完了

如果單以技術及進攻能力 / 手段來看
安東尼其實才是黃金一代最成熟的一個，他甚至早於king james成為夢之隊的得分皇牌，但光芒卻甚至略低於同期的bosh
如果當日唔係dumas一時失誤，他早就應該同比立斯係活塞會合，組成東區最優秀的鋒衛線之一
