There willl be more playing time for young guys now as we will probably still try to rest some guys. And for playoffs emergencies we signed Ilyasova. Oni played last playoffs and has gotten some minutes already this season. Playoffs mean more minutes for main guys so why worry about the end of bench guys? If we have to play them we are screwed anyway.
We could have staggered it by resting Conley for OKC and not Washington.
Genuine question: are there ever any honest critiques with the way things are managed or is the only way the FO or coaching staff could improve things is with a crystal ball? It kinda seems like many of your responses lack any understanding of the actual nuance of any potential critique and that you seem to view anything on that side of the line as “lolllll FO and teh coaches suxxx!!!!!!11”
Pfft. Evidently, Rudy ACTUALLY has a crystal ball and it's how we have been managing playing time.

Well, I know “holy **** Steph takes down a 1/8 upset by himself, making NBA history!” would be a really marketable narrative. On top of not being able to defend him, I suspect we also wouldn’t be allowed to try.
dont wana play steph in r1. that dude is on fire right now.
Genuine answer: Of course there are honest critiques. I am probably too dismissive at times but I don't put stock in the 20/20 hindsight ones nor the ones that refuse to acknowledge legit trade-offs in how things are done - things such as rotations, using time outs etc. Nothing takes less thought than hindsight critiques or being critical about everything. It is the easiest path.
And then maybe we'd lose against OKC, and who knows if we'd win against Wizards. Also, Clarkson would only be back for Pacers
Maybe. But our chances of winning are way better against Maledon and Jerome instead of you know? Westbrook and Beal
