Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5617724, member: 628"] Apparently Donnie was clear to play as many minutes as necessary. Given that, why start a struggling White and get into a hole early in a very important game? Why put the pressure on Donnie of coming in 6 minutes into the game instead of getting that over with at the jump? Like AZ Orange said, how often does that approach occur? I’d get it if he was limited and could only go for 15 minutes. But when a returning player has the green light to play all game? I can’t recall seeing it. I also didn’t like that instead of running actual plays to get him into the flow early, as instead handed him the ball 18-23 feet from the hoop and essentially said “have at it, kid!” I’m thrilled he played great in the second half. He did that all on his own. The approach was illogical IMHO. You’re free to disagree. [/QUOTE]
