[QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 3327390, member: 668"]
For me, a fan of the program for about 4 & 1/2 decades now, this frustration with the fan base relative to playing time and playing bench players is, for the most part, business as usual.  JB's comfort zone/how he has generally always rolled, has been playing his starters (starter types...a la Dion) the vast majority of minutes. The other players who'd made up the 6 and/or 7th guy, were used sparingly, typically more so in the 1st half of games then in the 2nd half, especially in close games/conference games where the outcome was in doubt until the very end, where they may not see any PT.

Therefore, IMO, it's just more of the same 'ol JB in this regard, however, the main/overwhelming obvious difference is that prior to this last 6 year stretch, we were chasing conference titles or at least running in the top half of same, whereas being stuck relatively irrelevant in conference as a consistent middling .500 type team.  When winning at the higher clip, higher tourney seeds (both in conference & in the Dance) it was much easier to digest than now, an era of years of consistent double digit losses with no apparent end in sight in the near future.
