Rip or Iverson.. Who should be coming off the bench?

I would like to start this off by saying that I'm a hardcore Pistons fan. From Zeke to Grant Hill to Stack I been following the Pistons with dignity. I wasn't born for Bing and em, but I do remember the Microwave and Rodman before the rainbow hair.

Now we have two All Star caliber players who deserve to start on anyones team fighting, kinda, for a starting spot.

Rip has not been as efficient, lately, as he as come to be known for. That doesn't mean he deserves to lose his starting spot, does it?

Neither Iverson or Rip are adding what the media and projected stats force us to expect from them and neither are meshing with the rest of the starters in a dominant fashion.

So how can one determine who gets the starting nod?

Well due to Rip's recent injuries I think that may be a strike against him in this situation.

We let go of a Finals MVP for Iverson in sight of another shot at a ring.. Not for him to become a role player well not a damn sixth man!!

Rip can flourish with designated pick setters like Kwame and Amir Johnson and designated play runners like Will Bynum...

In conclusion, when it comes to Rip v Ivo in a position battle... I'm rolling wit Ivo in any condition..
