Well obviously pop is a great coach so its tough to criticize anything he does.
Corbin on the other hand.....
Maybe if pop started manu throughout his career the sours would have 6 championships
There is no way to know for sure

There's a point that the exponential risk outweighs the decreasing linear reward. There is a reason players top out at 36-37 minutes.

What makes you think the risk is exponential and the reward linear? No matter how two functions increase and decrease (respectively), it's possible that they intersect/don't intersect. Odd.

Honestly fish, this is such a brutal answer.


People complaining about Burks's role on this team has got to be one of the most ruh-tarded things of this season. I advocated for him to come off the bench before the season started, and I'm glad that he has been playing so well under this role. Kanters minutes have SOME merit (maybe if he could ****ing play a lick of defense....) but the Burks **** is so off base IMO

Sorry but burks has always came off the bench and played less minutes than less talented players.

Happening again this year
I dont like it.

Keep bringing him off the bench but his minutes should NEVER be less than jeffys and he actually AVERAGES less mpg than jeffy.

I shall continue to bitch..... might as well get used to it.

I bet if john lucas, or tinsley, or garret or mo williams or ear watson etc etc were averaging more minutes than burke, then we might hear you bitchin too eh?

I think Burks should be getting 2-4 more minutes per game (from Jefferson), but agree that bringing him off the bench is ideal. His minutes are not so low that I think it's a problem (or affects his development). He's getting ample opportunity to initiate the offense off the bench and play late in 4th quarters both on- and off-ball.

Kanter's been playing more with Favors the last 8 games (this is partly due to matchups), and is finally looking comfortable and confident. His defense last night, I think, was very good. His good play has become consistent enough (albeit still over a fairly small sample) that I won't be surprised if Corbin starts increasing his minutes. I do think it's important that Kanter shows he can play well for a stretch of games (not just a handful of minutes or one or two games), doing the things the coaches ask, before his role and playing time are increased. I'm not convinced that good performance over a few minutes or a game or two are more predictive of future success than a stretch of games.

It isn't initially, but once you hit a certain level of exertion, it definitely becomes exponential. Tired players are more likely to make bad decisions, and they not longer have the reaction, lift, etc to do what they are used to bring able to do, increasing strain.

Production per minute tends to decrease as you play more minutes.

Does it matter if they intersect or not? That is something that would be chosen by a player/coach. How much do you value risk?

Clearly they have chosen because hardly anyone plays 40+ for a season.

The point is you've made a simple idea more complex without adding any value. It's ostentatious and completely unnecessary (and stupid if communication is your goal).
