Im glad Ben left because like you said the young guys got to play. Playing with Ben was like 4 against 5 on offense and that would have been too difficult against Boston’s and Cleveland’s

Yeah, I think it wasn’t in Ben’s best interest to leave, though, if it was because of coaching - he should’ve known if things went down hill that the coach wouldn’t be there too long.

And he had a great bond with all the players

But it did allow us to develop our younger players more (Maxiell, etc.)

(Not saying I have a bike made of cardboard, just saying that’s just what would happen just so that I wouldn’t get there! :-P)

For my luck, my bike would fall apart as soon as I start riding it, haha.

But seriously, it’s free, and I can’t go.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Oh no! You need to be at open practice. What happened to I will ride my bike at 6am?

Yeah Ben must have felt dissed. Everything happens for a reason.

Yeah, I believe Coach Curry is going to do a better job at that than Flip did.

It seems a lot of players were upset with Flip.

I’ve heard that’s why Ben left the Pistons.

Anyway, I’m glad the Pistons have someone they can really respect and get a lot out of now.

(PS. I don’t think I’m gonna be able to make it to the open practice! AHHHH!)
