The Pistons' starters playing 40+ minutes on the front end of a back to back =

I have a hard time believing anything Flip says anymore. If you're going to use Stuckey as an excuse to play your starters into the ground, at least make it look credible by playing him more than 10 minutes. The bench has very little confidence right now; they're forcing things too much at times, and being too tentative at times. Regular season wins mean crap if your starters are dead tired when it counts. I bet the announcement of a shortened rotation was met with a lot of groans.
