you could be right, yeah they couldnt get to hole much (pause) so maybe you right

They really didn't even try in the 4th. Luka couldn't get by anyone and LeBron was basically resting on offense.

Playing your starters all 24 minutes in the second half is nuts. This isn't high school. Stopped running plays as well, which is ultimately on the coach.

Nuggets are doing the same thing, and it's the only reason why they've tied the series 2-2. Playing the bench isn't an option for them, much like the Lakers.

This has literally never happened in the modern era. This wasn't game 7. The bench isn't THAT bad. 5-18 from the field in the 4th. You really think fatigue wasn't part of that?

Not only is it that bad, but it's made worse by the fact they've got no big to help balance out those lineups.

bro who on his bench do you want him to play? they didnt lose cuz they ran outta gas they just got outmatched man wolves hit clutch shots

DFS playing 41 minutes is a mismanagement of assets

Hayes/Knecht should be playing more

Wolves in 5

Nuggets got 8 minutes from their bench in the 2nd half yesterday and they were down a guy.
8>0


Oviously they need to lean on their "big 3" but this was ridiculous.

Lakers unfortunately ran into young Jordan

Denver's starters have played more minutes than any other team.

It is ridiculous, but not for the reasons why you're stating so.

It's ridiculous because they shouldn't have gone into the postseason with this roster imbalance (I stressed many a time during the regular season that it was going to become a problem for them), not that it's ridiculous they're playing their starters 40+ minutes, because the alternative isn't better.

If Hayes could miraculously give them 20 quality minutes, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. But since he can't, it limits the lineups they can throw out there because that imbalance of not having a proper frontcourt means the value of lesser role players is further limited because they don't have the appropriate pieces around them to make them serviceable.

It's still Wolves in 6 the Lakers win the next game and then it's over from there....

Naz Reid when he's not in foul trouble has demolished the Lakers perimeter defense. He also played good defense this game.
