Why risk injury??? Time to give other players some playing time.

It was against Denver. He had achilles tendinitis at the end of the season and tried to play through it in the playoffs. He torn his achilles in game 1, while driving to the basket. He was the anti-boozer, rarely missing games due to injury.

That was on the training staff; they should've known better and held him out of the game.

also al this weight training crap. makes people injury prone

I'm not worried about the injury aspect of it, but for one 4 or 5 minute stretch of one game this season I'd like to see this lineup.

C - Rudy Gobert
PF - Erik Murphy
SF - Jeremy Evans
SG - Ian Clark
PG - Diante Garrett

I'd love to see if any of these guys have the ability to step up and contribute if they're the only ones out on the floor. They can DNP the veterans if needs be, but I'd love to see these young players get some playing time and have some tape to work off of for next year.

Of course, this should've been happening the last 10-20 games.

Honestly.... I just wanna see Burks start without an injury to one of the starting 5!!!

Yay!!

You can't live your life like that. It could happen any game. It's like saying I'm never going to fly because the plane might crash. Well, yeah, and you might step outside your house and get struck by lightning. It's a defeatist attitude and will only lead to more negative consequences.

I agree that players can't live their life like that, but as far as the Front office goes I would consider that as protecting their interest in a meaningless game. More like a parent limiting any unnecessary risk to their children.
