The bench has to hold what ever lead the starters give them so that Flip won't have to bring the starters back in for extra minutes
And finally, we all like streaks, but Flip can't overplay the starters in the late 4th trying to secure the streak. Trust the bench and save the fresh starters for the Boston game. (The C's wll be at home Friday and porbably won't have to put up that big of an effort vs the Grizzlies so their big three might be better rested if Flip pulls out all stops for a victory in Toronto. )
Also this game is on ESPN where our success has not been that great...although the last one on ESPN we did win vs the C's! |
You are right, DRE. The Pistons must look for the knock out punch right from the start and not let up. Get to
garbage time like what they have been doing lately and let the bench play the 4th quarter. The starters need the rest and get ready for Saturday Night Fever...
