New lineups the only constant for Pistons
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) - It's been a season of uncertainty for the Detroit Pistons.
Each time they take the court, there's a new guessing game over who will play and who won't.
The Pistons debuted their 21st different starting lineup Saturday night, mixing and matching their way to a 100-88 win over the Indiana Pacers. The starting five have changed constantly because of injuries and occasional signs of discord - as well as a roster full of seemingly interchangeable parts that has left coach John Kuester searching for new combinations.
Richard Hamilton was a starter, then became a backup, then was benched entirely. He's now starting again. Hamilton and Kuester had a falling out but now say they've worked out their differences.
