Detroit has only managed to split its 12 games since Allen Iverson joined the team, and he caused a distraction by skipping Thanksgiving practice. Now Iverson may be unhappy with his playing time, and he might not be the only Detroit player feeling that way.
The Spurs, who are 4-point faves, are slowly getting back to being the Spurs team you love to hate. Since returning to the lineup Manu Ginobili is averaging 13.0 points but has played less than 22 minutes in each of his four games. Tony Parker had 15 points and seven assists in each of his two games since returning.
The Pistons have won four of six meetings with the Spurs, including both last season, since the teams met in the finals.
