And both teams get the same time off. Really good players expect to play lots of minutes. Iverson, Jordan, Magic, Bird, etc always played big minutes in the playoffs. |
Its too bad Flip is about winning, regular season games. Too bad he is doing nothing to get this team ready for the playoffs. In this game, no way did we get any progress at all in developing our bench, nor getting our starters some rest.
I will say one thing positive about tonight. Flip played the combination of CB, Delfino, and Tay for a good long stretch their to end the 2nd quarter. That is a good combination. He has just started to use this combination of late. Although I still feel he must also add to this the Arroyo, Delfino, Prince combo, I am glad to see at least this one. Thats something. Another is that again, Evans was pretty much cut out of the 2nd half. Progress their too. Now if only he would get cut out of the first half, because other players need more minutes that can give us more with them.
