Ok. So vets played 28% of all minutes available tonight, and the youngsters played the other 72%. How much time do you think the vets should get? Ten percent? Zero percent? Play the core 48 minutes a game like Wilt in the olden days, injuries and fatigue be damned?

28% people. 28% is what JL3, Marvin and Richard took up tonight. Three guys. One of whom is the only backup we have at PG. You're all ****ing irrational and blind with some personal vendetta you have. There's no other explanation for it.

Enes, Gordon, Derrick, Alec, and Jeremy are playing 52% more minutes combined than last year. 52%! Plus, you've got Trey playing 31 minutes a game. And it's "a repeat of the previous two years." Really? Really? You're actually going to argue this? You're actually going to argue that this isn't a tremendous improvement over the past year? It's the same thing? It's repeat? It's veterans playing all the minutes, even though they play so much less than last year?

The "vets" logged in 68% of all available minutes last year. They are logging in 26% of all available minutes this year.

Again, it's one thing to argue that the number should be 20% instead of 26% and Gobert should get more time or Jeremy should play more against smaller lineups, but to talk about how this is all "more frustrating than it is exciting" is ludicrous. It actually borders on insane. There's no reason here, you've all lost your damn minds. That's the only explanation I've got.

This doesn't change the way I feel. I would argue that the number should be less than 15 percent. Of that 15% marvin should get almost all. RJ gave the jazz the finger when he said he was leaving next year. RJ played like 3 mins a game for Golden State. We give him 26 mins plus a game. Good grief. John lucas was thrown out of chicago and yet we still try and find time for him.

Playing the vets 26% of all available minutes is a crime against jazz fans.

Playing the vets 26% of all available minutes is a crime against jazz fans who care.

Agreed
The difference between poster like jim"clue"less and lunatic wolf and the rest of us is that jim and lunatic dont bitch about things cause they dont care..... no matter what lineup corbin trotted out, they would just support it like always, they just dont care.

The rest of us that are bitchin and complaining are just showing that we care more about the team than the coach

Sacramento is trying to win, which is why they went and got Rudy Gay. It they are tanking, it's not intentional.

Not necessarily trying to win this year, and they didn't give up much to get him. Harpring said Gay looked fine before the game and thought he was going to play, but was benched at the last minute. I expect a ton of DNP's for him after the all star break.
