    Watching the games, I can tell you that Delfino is typically more plus at the beginning of his stints. His coach tends to bring him on early in the first or third quarter and leave him the rest of that half. In this game in particular, Delfino was in foul trouble, so his coach was forced to rest him more than usual, so Delfino ended up playing rested the whole game.

    Is it just me or am I getting the impression you think Fino is playing TOO much? Who would have ever thought?

    I believe that was the thinking among Pistons management when he was here. That is why he was traded.

    Actually I think management would have preferred he played closer to the minutes (and numbers) he has been playing. The problem was the coach didn't see it that way.
