I think its great to have these discussions but I have a very difficult time thinking that Boeheim doesn't put the players into the game that he thinks will win the game - I just don't. I don't buy the conspiracy that JB doesn't play MCW or Rak due to some 'script' he adheres to. What I do buy is that he leads and mentors his team in practice, and based on how they perform he puts the best possible players on the court. The fact that more veteran players get more time doesn't baffle me. Say as much as you want about Southerland, but he plays D, gets some rebounds and is a three-point threat - who else should be out there in his stead? BT is also very sound on D. MCW and Rakeem have a lot to learn and teaching them at the expense of a team loss is not what playing these games are about. I agree with SouthCampus, we need DW and BT to regain their form for us to go far and they need to get it figure out more than MCW and Xmas getting more minutes at this point.
 
I just don't get the second guessing of JB's rotation or who he decides to play or not. He seems to have a quick hook for some players, but maybe they deserve that quick hook for mistakes that they work on during practice. Do I [I]know[/I] this? Hell no, but I would guess that JB doesn't put players into his rotation so we can lose a game.
 
Just MO, humble or not.
