AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- The Pistons fired Michael Curry on Tuesday after Detroit finished under .500 in his first year as coach and was swept in the first round of the playoffs. Advertisement The Pistons began the season with big hopes but couldn't recover from the loss of All-Star point guard Chauncey Billups in a November trade to Denver for Allen Iverson. The Pistons went 39-43 and exited the postseason in four lopsided losses to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Joe Dumars, the team's president for basketball operations, said after that series that Curry would return. "This was a difficult decision to make," Dumars said in a statement Tuesday. "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." • Berger: Stunning announcement | Coaching changes Dumars fired coach Flip Saunders last year after he led the team to the Eastern Conference finals in each of his three seasons. Curry was an assistant under Saunders for one season. A message left on Curry's cell phone was not immediately returned.

I thought they would give him another season since they fucked this one by Trading Billups and Bringing in Thugerson

There were reports that he "lost" the locker room early on. Not surprising considering his soft-spoken nature and lack of experience and, seemingly, charisma. He had the deer-in-the-headlights look from the very start.

and I am sure if that is the Case FTL... When they got Thugerson and his attitude it just alienated everyone even more
