ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

Has Detroit Pistons head coach John Kuester and Motor City veteran slasher Rip Hamilton smoked the peace pipe? From all indications, it could be definitely, yes. It all started last December when both Kuester and Hamilton hugged the headlines with their much-publicized rift that saw the benching of the latter for six long weeks. Hamilton is now back into Kuester’s regular rotation and the 12-year pro has responded positively by regaining his old confidence back. His comeback was highlighted by a 23-point output in the Pistons recent win over the Indiana Pacers. Hamilton says everything is back to square one as far as his relationship with Kuester is concerned which can be likened to a breath of fresh air, according to The Detroit News.

“It was a big breath of fresh air. It was never a thing how people talked about it and how they wrote it down and things like that. How much we supposedly hated each other. We went through a period of time where we didn't talk. And the lack of communication kind of put everybody on pins and needles.”
