<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Flip Murray hasn't played a meaningful minute for the Pistons since the loss in Houston on Dec. 12. He was inactive for the third straight game Wednesday and hasn't played in seven of the past nine games. Yet, Murray was among the first Pistons on the floor and the last off for pregame warmups Wednesday. He's still smiling and messing around with his teammates. He's still, in short, maintaining his professionalism. "He's been good," coach Flip Saunders said. "Right now, it's been business as usual. I think he understands." Murray, who is in the final year of his contract, lost his backup guard spot to Lindsey Hunter and Rodney Stuckey . When Hunter began eating up his minutes earlier this month, Murray said, "I'm OK with everything, I've got a job." That continues to be his mind-set. "It's just the way this league is," Saunders said. "You know, players in his situation have a hard time complaining when the team is winning. We've got a lot of veteran players, and our guys aren't going to let too much get in the way of that success."</div> Source: Detroit News
