I say you are wrong. Players missing does not mean you don't have a rotation. You should have a depth chart, and try to stick to it. However, Flip (and the Pistons management in general) have too many things going on to maintain some kind of logic in their rotation. Its not the injuries. Its more showcasing Mohammed and Flip Murray.

Case in point. If you notice, Afflalo is getting all the backup shooting guard minutes at the moment. Where does that leave Murray, who depending on what week it is, people are saying he is or is not a point guard? It seemed to work well having Prince play the point, but instead, we are having Murray play the backup point the last few games. Why. Its just showcasing Murry, not to try to win games. And it throws off the rotation.

I am going to post a rotation we could be using so far this season. (in the rotations thread. And rest assured, Mohammed and Flip Murray won't be in it.
