Exactly and I'm not necessarily mad about that either, but I do feel the Hometeam needs to go ahead and get this W tonight... Just to stay sharp and give the hometown fans the performance they deserve. Lord knows we've given away too many home games this year already, but if the Detroiters handle their biz in the eagerly anticipated post season ALL is forgiven! I'd like to win tonight without over extending any of our main guys, besides that the boston game is completely meaningless for us... It's all about staying healthy folks!

As a matter of fact all this playing time the bench is getting and has gotten this season is the likely reason why flip is probably going to keep his job here in the D. He has pretty much obeyed all of Mr. D & Joe D's requests (regarding bench playing time) unlike his 2 predacessors who foolishly wouldn't give upcoming studs like Tay (rc) & Memo (lb) the time of day. Mind you all I'm no big flip supporter but I will give him his due for indeed developing the bench a bit. GO PISTONS!
