Starters may have been in the game while the deficit was being built but they’re also the ones most capable of erasing that kind of deficit. That’s why they’re the starters. Except for Howard, IMO- who’s game is not suited to the pace needed in that situation. Yeah, Carey was not good during his little stretch, but he’s also the kind of player who might catch a little fire after bungling it early. I dunno about him. He has a higher ceiling but also the lower floor. When you get down, though, you have to roll the dice and get more pace. And dynamicism. You might end up losing bigger, though.

In any case, I’m shocked at the defense here for Buddy’s minutes. Let’s separate the issues. It’s not even a matter of the father/son thing. Who here thought Buddy would be playing big, significant minutes in acc action? No one. The rationale that we needed a sniper is kinda ridiculous. Buddy has not shown himself to be a good enough shooter in games, and is certainly a minus defender. His time has not come, he hasn’t deserved the time in the situations he’s been given, and if I were on the team and putting in my work, I’d be a bit bothered by the ‘special treatment.’
