Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 200469, member: 285"] The whole thing seems really odd. I don't recall JB ever having a starter on a shorter leash than Rak. You might argue that Melo fell into that area last year as well, his conditioning and JB's desire to try to be able to keep Rick at the PF may have been the reason for continuing to go with Melo. In any case whether he's done it with Melo and Rak or just Rak, I can't recall him ever employing this technique before with any other player. In fact its usually the opposite with JB, where starters are guaranteed long leashes and 30+ minutes per game. [/QUOTE]
