Pistons guard Allen Iverson believes that the team's upcoming road trip could be a good thing for the struggling club.

Detroit, 27-26, will play five games in eight days starting on Sunday night in Cleveland.

"Obviously it's crucial because we're not winning," Iverson said after Thursday's loss to San Antonio. "But all we need to concentrate on is one game at time. We got to get the first one."

Home court advantage is always talked about, but Iverson is excited about entering some hostile environments.

"I think the most important thing is on the road you concentrate a lot more," Iverson said. "A lot of times guys feel like the game's going to be won by the fans.

"But on the road you are playing against their team plus 20,000 other people, and the level of concentration is there and the distractions are not there. It might be a good thing."
