Was Benching Rip Hamilton A Good Idea For The Pistons?

They have won five of seven with wins against Dallas, Phoenix, and Toronto and almost beat the Celtics. Fans and analysts have criticized this move but it seems to be working and being somewhat in the playoff race, I would have to say i agree with the move, cause Hamilton was not playing well and maybe he needed a wake-up call. Either way I think he deserves some playing time in the near future!
