White and Lydon have played every minute since the Cold War. In a conference that has talent on every team, and physicality on every team.
Sometimes just sitting a minute to see the floor from an outside perspective is incredibly beneficial. We saw this a lot with fair. He would get a breather and then come back in and make a play.
Unfortunately, we don't have the bodies. You can argue injuries all you want (don't think it's close to the main reason), but there just isn't much chance for these guys to sit. Do I think it's possible? Yes, but obviously the coach doesn't think so.
However... 40 minutes virtually every game? In this conference? t's insanity, honestly. Of course most of it is because every game we've been in has been close recently, exception last night.
