    There have been multiple times this season where we have had a lack of players available for the game .

    It's unfathomable to me that , tonight , we don't have Troy or RJ called up .

    We were for sure down one starter and Ryan and Eric both were question marks .

    I don't blame the Rox for playing conservative with players coming off injury ... In fact I WANT them to . Our goal should be postseason success and these last few years have PROVEN the value of resting players in order to have a healthier squad come playoff time .

    Along with resting players come not playing players consistent , heavy minutes.

    We are in a situation that , no matter if the game is close or a blowout , some of our players will play heavy minutes ... Because there is no one else to play .

    We have forced ourselves in to a position that multiple guys are going to get close to 40 mins , regardless of the outcome .

    That's what I don't get . We have 9 guys that could play and 3 of them are centers . 2 of them are CP3 and James .

    What the the **** is the point of having an active roster of 13 ? If you aren't going to utilize it. Last time this happened James dropped a 60pt triple double ... I don't want him to have to play 46 and do that for us to win .

    I understand it's still midseason and we have time to call up guys to give some players some rest ... But if we aren't going to consider it on the ****ing second night of a B2b with multiple players questionable or out .... What scenario would we call people up fo ?

    I'm sick of us sticking people down in the G-league and then not calling them up when there is a reasonable expectation that they could play and be useful .

    I bet other teams enjoy catching us with our pants down.

    I agree with this notion. Unless we change coaches though, I don't see this happening. I do however trust Mike D'antoni of troy williams is not playing it is because the man has no business in our system and should be pavked with ryan anderson in a deal.

    It's not even about playing them . It's about having the OPTION to play them .

    Even if we blew out the heat tonight , Luc and PJ would've ended up in the high 30's tonight ... Which you don't want on a B2B

    Injuries , foul trouble , blowouts , players needing a blow ... That **** happens all the time .

    I'm not saying Troy deserves regular playing time . But the man can at least be a body in garbage time if need be .

    Every team that has caught us doing this has ended up getting on their knees though.

    MDA is a ****ing genius but he needs to chill with the minutes . Harden and CP3 we’re playing with 6 minutes to go up 35. It’s ridiculous

    where have you been op? mda been this way since euroleague i bet. he aint gonna get over his rotation paranoia.

    get used to seeing green rotting onteh bench. i been used to seeing ariza play star-level minutes and eg starter minutes

    mbah or pj should be out there for something like 29-32mpg if green isnt gonna get burn, but that wont happen.

    It's not about not playing players ... It's about not even having them suited up .
