It wouldn't be a bad idea to regularly give 1 starter the night off going forward.

Benefits:
It reduces the chance for injury
Gives the bench more PT
Contingency planning, incase an injury occurs, we can practice with 4 starter + replacement lineups.

Against Minny, we could sit Tay.

Tay has played in 403 consecutive games, second longest active streak only to Andre Miller. I don't see a problem with a couple of light (20 minutes) games, but why break the streak?

7.9 DR, unless we play a West Coast team next. Seems next game has a lot to do with how the Pistons play.
They could blow this big time.

Don't necessarily need to sit starters, just let them go hard for 20/min a game, that should be sufficient enough.

He should break it just to set a good tone for what should be the priority for the team, winning championships. Personal streaks are worthless if they create a block to what is important, like Tay getting some rest. I tell you what, if Tay can guarantee we are going to win it all this year, and back it up, sure, let him continue the streak. Or else have him rest a few games. (For the first time in several years.)
