Pistons head coach Dwane Casey says the team has to protect Derrick Rose from himself

#Pistons Dwane Casey on minutes restriction: "Believe me — nobody loves Derrick Rose more and I wish he could play 80 minutes out of 40. But he can't. So we have to protect him from himself. It's up to the medical people; it's their decision and it's their plan."

#Pistons Dwane Casey on Derrick Rose starting or in 3Q: "If you're a starter, your minutes are going to get ramped up. I'm watching the clock to see what we can get in there. To start the second half, it's very difficult to stay under that and also be in at the end of game."
