Fast Break: How Sweet It Is
Editorial Note: A Fast Break is a short and quick preview of upcoming topics that will be explored and proved in full in regular reports. Fast Breaks are especially useful when major news breaks.
This is so sweet for me that I'm drowning in sweetness. I win almost any possible way it plays out. Here are many of the possibilities and how much of a "victory" for me each one would be:
Pistons leave Iverson at SG but play him for less minutes in back of Hamilton and get him to shoot a little less and pass a little more while he's out there:
>>>
A small 6 point win for yours truly over the Iverson can't play the point haters.
Pistons officially call Iverson a 2-guard but often leave him out there with Hamilton and with no point guard (unlike the Nuggets, who felt it was their religious duty to keep a scrub point guard out there with Iverson most of the time).
>>>
A 13 point win for me over the Iverson can't play the point haters.
Pistons call Iverson a point guard but really use him at both positions; he shares with Stuckey about 50/50. When he is in there though, he passes more and shoots less.
>>>
A 20 point win
Pistons call Iverson a point guard, he starts at PG, plays full time, he passes more and shoots less. but the Pistons get bounced in the semifinals.
>>>
A 27 point win
Pistons call Iverson a point guard, he starts at PG, plays full time, Iverson passes more and shoots less, and the Pistons don't get bounced until the East Championship
>>>
A 33 point win
Pistons call Iverson a point guard, he starts at PG, plays full time, passes more, shoots less, and the Pistons make it to the NBA Championship
>>>
A 40 point win for me over the Iverson can't play the point haters.
The only way I don't win by something is if the Pistons continue to use Iverson in the same old way that Larry "I'm the only Coach who could not win the Olympics" Brown and George "I will never know how to win in the playoffs" Karl used him: as a "pure 2-guard," laugh out loud. Don't see much of a chance of that happening right now.
