Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 3654096, member: 837"] My guess is yes and yes you'll see this happen. Think he wants Girard to play out of his funk, which is logical as well, but I've always said I think JB is a numbers guy. I think it's what drove the move to zone full-time (initially, at least) and why he loves sitting on the ball the last 4 minutes with any sort of lead. I know everyone hates it but I think it's why he also sticks with a 7-man rotation most years. Identify your best players -- at least in his opinion -- and ride them as much as you can since A) they're better than the other guys and B) they get constant TV timeouts. Not saying he's right but just saying I think he at least believes the metrics are on his side on those things. [/QUOTE]
