It's pretty indecipherable, but I think what he might be saying is that Amir Johnson could possibly see some playing time against one specific opponent in the post season.

Trans:
The match ups when given present numerous situations for when certain
players promote themselves well, we'll see a chance to sample their strengths against those players and examine the consequences of making such a substitution, in a game time scenario

"As I told them, the season is a winding river with a lot of bends in that river," Saunders said. "What we want to do is we want to get through those bends and in four weeks when the playoffs start, we want to be in a straightaway.

This quote needs no translation. Just appreciate the man that is Flip Saunder's; coach, magician, poet . . .

What about the rapids and then the waterfall where last year's tour fell to their death?

"We decided when we came down that we were going to go with the younger guys," Pistons coach Flip Saunders said. "They did a nice job, found a way to finish and it was very encouraging."

"Joe told me to keep playing the young guys, or he was going to give Chris McCosky my job," ...

"I think we're wearing out our bench," Saunders said with a laugh. "Because our guys were dead tired last night. So, we've got to get a fine line here, in terms of coming down the stretch."

Translation: "Minutes wise, we've really been demanding a lot from our bench here toward the end of the season. I plan on resting them HEAVILY in the playoffs so they can be ready to make a SIGNIFICANT contribution in the Las Vegas summer league!"
