The Pistons playoff rotation may go as deep as ten players, continuing a season-long strategy that has kept starters fresh and allowed young players to get their feet wet. "If we continue to play the way we're playing, maybe we do extend our bench the way it is right now and the way we've gone most of the season," coach Flip Saunders said on The Stoney and Wojo Show on WDFN-AM Detroit. While Saunders declined to name which players would be included in that rotation, he did say that Theo Ratliff would be amongst them as a situational defensive substitute. The depth of the Pistons bench led Saunders to conclude that this year's Pistons team is the best he's coached. "There's probably five or six games we could have won this year if we hadn't played as many young players, but I think it's paying dividends for us right now," he said. "I think because of the way the bench is and the depth that we have that this is probably our best team." Saunders specifically praised the play of reserves Amir Johnson and Walter Herrmann, who he called the second- and third-best players in Tuesday's comeback win over Minnesota. http://0rz.tw/683SS -- 十人輪替!!! --
