Pistons try to run a 12 man rotation is crazy. They can be like OKC keeping that defensive intensity when the roster runs that deep

If he gonna experiment with it then this is the time to do. They've been stacking wins, so they can afford to play around with lineups and see which ones are optimal for the home stretch and the playoffs. They've got a talent for what JB wants to do up and down the roster and they are all responding well to the coaching.

It's honestly a good thing to do.
Gives guys experience. Helps preserve players from wearing down. They'll already have seen playing time if someone gets injured.

Long ass ugly game. Refs were terrible on both sides. Duncan couldn’t hit shyt tonight. Luckily Lavert got hot. Holland about to play himself out of rotation. Love the hustle but he looks so lost this year.

That was a nasty win, but a win nonetheless. Keep this party going. And I think regardless of how deep JB settles on his rotation being, Cade or Jenkins should always be on the court. I don't mind secondary guys like Levert, Ivey, Ausar handling the ball, but those 2 are the only real pgs on the squad and they can steady the offense when it's starting to look like they're just spinning their wheels.

They started off the season allowing him a little more freedom to find his offense, but he gets too out of control and it's clear he's not ready for that just yet.

Some of those easy bunnies Ivey missed :huhldup: Hopefully that rust. Stewart against some of those 7 foot guys. No. You gotta mix in some B Ball in those instances.

Have no idea why they left Cade 1 on 1 near the end. That's when I knew it was over.
