Pistons fire Flip Saunders

This is the second head coach in the last decade the Pistons have fired after the coach got that team to the Eastern Conference Finals. The logic I guess is that if Larry Brown could get a championship with this basic team, there must be another coach out there who can get another title out of them. That ignores how serendipitous the Larry Brown year was, running into a Laker team where Kobe and Shaq hated each other, Gary Payton's talent took a steep drop-off, and Karl Malone had injured his knee.
