I am not saying that the bench should have been in the game the entire 4th quarter, I am refering too the third quarter. There was a little under 3 minutes to go in the quarter I believe, Flip and Mo Cheeks put in subs during a timeout. The Pistons had just went on a run and the lead was up to at least 23,24 points. It would have been nice to pull Tay and CB at that point to at least get a few minutes.

I just didn`t see any need for them to finish out the third Q.
