I agree with your first sentence Lee. For some reason, Flip thinks he owes it to the starters to bring them back in even when the bench is holding it's own. That is why we always seem to give up unecessary points to close out the second qtr. (from our uninspired starters) The guy still hasn't figured out the rotation thing yet......and the Piston wins are due to the our
good players deciding that they want to put through a winning effort on a given night despite
clueless Flip
