The Detroit Pistons have officially named former Cleveland Cavaliers assistant John Kuester as their new head coach.

“For the last seven years, the criteria for success here has been making the finals,” Team president Joe Dumars said. “That’s not the gun that will be held to John’s head. Right now, we’re looking to move this franchise back in the right direction.”

Kuester has 19 years of NBA experience, including 13 years as an assistant with 5 different teams, but he has never been a head coach in the NBA until now.

“You never know when an opportunity will come up, but when I was thinking about this, I kept finding signs — a Pistons shirt in my closet and a Pistons name tag in the next room,” Kuester said. “I’m coming to a place where there are a lot of people that I know and trust.”

The Detroit Pistons have fired coach Michael Curry after spending just 1 season with the team. The official decision came just hours before the start of free agency.

“This was a difficult decision to make,” Pistons president Joe Dumars said in a statement. “I want to thank Michael for his hard work and dedication to the organization. However, at this time, I have decided to make a change.”

With Curry calling the shots the Pistons went 39-43 in what was a disappointing 2009 season for the team.

“Are there things I could’ve done differently?” Curry said. “Yes. There were mistakes, but mistakes are correctible. That’s how you grow.”

The Pistons should have gave Curry at least 1 more year. I doubt they’ll find anyone better at this point.

The Cleveland Cavaliers took a 2-0 lead over the Detroit Pistons after winning 94-82 on Tuesday night.

The Pistons almost made a late comeback when they had a 27-5 run to close within 7 points but it ended up being too little, too late.

“We lost our focus,” Cavs’ Mo Williams said. “We all knew it. But it’s nothing to get overly concerned about. I don’t think it will happen again.”

Detroit forward Antonio McDyess feels like the Pistons will have to play a near perfect game just to compete with Cleveland.

“Nothing we’re doing now is working,” McDyess said. “We basically have to play a perfect game just to be on top.”

Detroit will be lucky just to win a single game in this series.

The Denver Nuggets have traded away former MVP Allen Iverson to the Detroit Pistons for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb.

“We just felt it was the right time to change our team,” Pistons president of basketball operations Joe Dumars said.

“Iverson gives us a dimension that we haven’t had here and we really think it’s going to help us.”

Iverson could debut with his new team as early as Wednesday night against Toronto.

“He was very excited about the trade,” Iverson’s agent Leon Rose said.

This Pistons just hope their new star player will participate in practice.

The Detroit Pistons have fired their head coach Flip Saunders, just four days after they were eliminated from the Eastern Conference finals by the Boston Celtics.

“Decisions like this are difficult to make, especially with the success we have had throughout the last three regular seasons,” President of basketball operations Joe Dumars said in a statement. “However, at this time, I feel it is necessary to make a change. I thank Flip for his hard work and dedication, but it is time for a new voice to lead our team.”

Stupid decision by the Pistons. Coaching isn’t the reason they lost to the Celtics, they lost because they simply weren’t the better team. Flip Saunders is a good coach and the Pistons will regret firing him.
