What's wrong with Millsap?

Give Sap a day off, and start regularly looking for days to rest him, probably on back to backs. Like, they won't rest him tonight with two days off before OKC. But in the upcoming b-b-b, sit him against NO in the middle of Memphis and OKC. You might not do this in an ordinary season, but in this season getting him some extra time to recuperate is better for the long run.

I don't see why we can't do this with more of the roster. There is not a significant drop off from our starters to our reserves (an upgrade at some positions actually, imo). There is no reason for both Millsap and Jefferson to be playing 30 mpg with 4 games in 5 nights or 5 games in 7 nights. It would also depend on matchups of particular teams who should sit.

We've seen this 3 years in a row now.
36mpg is way too much for Millsap.
He should be around 31-32mpg
As someone said before, Millsap will turn it around and have good stretches here and there. But to keep him consistent, they need to cut down on his minutes. Corbin has the depth, he just needs to use it.

There is no question the minutes and condensed schedule have a lot to do with it (I've advocated for keeping him around 30mpg). But, you also have to add our lack of perimeter game and the extra work that puts our bigs through.
We are as atrocious from deep as I've ever seen.

I agree, he just looks really tired to me. Ty needs to cut down his minutes or sit him for a couple games.
Did you watch the NY game? He and Al were double and triple teamed whole ****ing game. Not much can be done if paint is always packed. Same happened to our rookies. They couldn't get their hands on any rebounds because they had to go over 2 or 3 bodies all the time to get them. Keep banging in situations like that gives no results but gets you exhausted both morally and physically very quickly.

All players in every sport are streaky. It's been what, a week or so with his mediocre play? I'm not worried. Not yet anyway. Give it a little more time. For now this thread is premature. No surprise given the OP.
That didn't work for his first 5 seasons either.

Hate to say it, but this appears to be the case. It seemed to be the case last year as well.
Running the floor and rebounding has a tendency to require energy.
