Pistons coach John Kuester is flirting with the idea of shortening the team's rotation.

Kuester uses a first and second team, going nine deep at times.

"When you are talking about roles, it is real simple," Kuester said. "We have to make sure guys know their roles. We have spoken to them a lot about their roles defensively. We have offensive explosion, but we have to make sure we take care of the basketball."

The coach plans to evaluate the team's rotation on a game-by-game basis in order to decide who will be on the floor late in games.
