I'll be there.

Of course I would love to see a win. But its not that important. More important to get Amir, Afflalo, Stuckey, and JMAX all in the game in the first half with meaningful minutes. In the long run, its like a hundred times more important to develop these guys vs. one more regular season win.

Here is an example of what I am talking about. Conley has been out injured most of the season. A game or two back, Memphis clearly lost a game because they chose to play Conley, who was really not ready to play very well at all. But again, they stuck with him, took the loss, and let him shake off some rust. This last game for Memphis, Conley dominated the play on both ends as Memphis won. It is literally amazing how much better a player can look after they have gotten some extensive time on the floor. For the Pistons sake, they got to bite the bullet, play Amir, and just trust its the right thing to do. It is. (And I doubt it will cost us any games anyway. But even if it does, its still the right thing to do.)
