Hooped Up

As soon as A.I. got traded to Detroit my girlfriend was a pretty happy Pistons fan. Now, she ain’t because the Allen Iverson experiment is an epic fail. But is he the only reason to blame for the lackluster performance of this years Pistons squad? 

“They are playing with no emotion,” says a long-distance viewer. Allen Iverson “has killed the team’s spirit with his style of play.” Maybe the East squad can pawn off Iverson on the West preceding next month’s All-Star Game in Phoenix.Don’t be surprised if Pistons president Joe Dumars trades A.I. before the Feb. 19 deadline, the same team executive e-mailed. “But only if he can get back a similar expiring contract.”
