Training camp is exhaustin this year
Quote:
AUBURN HILLS -- Flip Saunders blew his whistle in the middle of a sloppy scrimmage Thursday morning and sent his players off the court and into the locker room.
Then, after a brief talk, he sent them home.
"I wasn't upset or anything like that," Saunders said. "We've gone really hard and we only have 16 guys in camp and they've gotten a lot of reps. It got a little sloppy at the end I just wanted them to get out of here."
Thursday's practice was the Pistons' third in 26 hours, and fifth since Tuesday.
Saunders said the team had a sharp, intense scrimmage Wednesday night and good conditioning session Thursday morning.
Once they re-started the scrimmages, however, it was clear the legs and spirits were mostly spent.
"The first three days this year have been far better than the first three days were last year," Saunders said.
