It is impossible to say who should get how many minutes before the game is played. Matchups, foul trouble, injuries all come into play when distributing minutes. |
Absolutely not.
The goal is to win in the playoffs. Anything that you let interfere with that is bad.
You can give an excuse for virtually anything. But not one of them is a valid excuse not to play Maxiell, Amir, Afflalo, and Stuckey in a game. If the matchups are poor (which is highly doubtful) so what, it just gives the young player a growth opportunity. We don't change our starting lineup due to matchups, we adjust who guards who or our defensive schemes. Not playing Amir tonight, extensively, is a bad decision that I hope does not get made.
