Message: [QUOTE="007, post: 3706866, member: 393"] JB is clearly most comfortable with the designated starters on the court for as long as possible. With some exceptions, this has been his primary MO for 45 years. Kadary's play has forced his hand this year to a degree, so he is seeing minutes every game. The "reasons" he gives in the PCs, especially after loses, have increasingly sounded like rationalizations to support playing the starters. It doesn't seem to matter if those rationalizations are contradictory, inconsistent, not supported by stats, or nonsensical. I'd much rather hear him say: "I play who I play and those are the players I think are the best. Period. I'm accountable for the results tonight and at the end of the season." [/QUOTE]
