OKLAHOMA CITY -- Pistons coach Flip Saunders clarified his plans for reworking bench rotations before Tuesday night's 96-86 victory over the Hornets, saying he wants to make sure he mixes his less experienced reserves with starters and vice versa.

That means he'll get Chauncey Billups more time with young wings like Carlos Delfino and Maurice Evans, and backup guard Carlos Arroyo additional court time with veterans like Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince.

Saunders hopes that encourages consistent production throughout the game and takes pressure off the bench.

Well he hasn't much choice on the Delfino playing time issue... with Arroyo out we'll be seeing Delfino on the floor a tad bit more for a few games.

That... or maybe this is where Lindsay Hunter makes a shocking early return and saves the day!

I've been waiting for him to do this. The mass switching between starters and bench players was clearly not efficient, simply becomes a arroyo passes to mcdyess show.
