Richard Hamilton believes that he has played his final game for the Pistons.

Detroit had only 10 healthy players on Friday night against New Jersey, but coach John Kuester still made Hamilton inactive.

The guard hasn't played since Jan. 10.

"I feel that way," Hamilton said when asked if he's played his last game with the Pistons. "I felt that way once I started sitting, because I really couldn't do anything about it. When you really can't do anything about it, you just stay in shape and keep working out, and things like that.

"I'm disappointed in it, but what can I do? I'm healthy, you know. That's pretty much it. There's not much I can say about it."

Ben Wallace was bemused about the situation.

"Me personally, I think it’s a bad decision," Wallace said. "I think it’s crazy that we’re shorthanded and you chose to deactivate a guy.

"I don’t know what to say. I think that’s a poor decision. Whoever made that decision, I don’t agree with it one bit."
