Down with Flip

The Detroit Pis
tons
are one of the best and most talented teams in the NBA. They are
easily championship calibur. The real question is: "Who put this
team together?" Easy answer. Larry Brown. Who is
reaping the benefits? Easy answer again. Flip Saunders.
Flip is a pretty good coach. In the regular season. Come playoff time, he's like lost. He looks like he has an extra twenty first chromosome. I'm tired of watching Flip stare out at the sky in the playoffs like the the child of death. To be honest, I can't respect a man named Flip (Rasheed Wallace would agree). It is clear that he really isn't doing much for the team, and it is mostly the team managing the team. He's lost.
If Detroit ever wants to win a championship, they're going to have to get rid of Flip and get a competent head coach. It is possible to win a championship with him, but it will be a result of the team, not him. There's a reason the Bucks were so eager to get rid of him.
