Look at the trust Pop has for Simmons right now.

4th quarter, not exactly a CLOSE game and he has Jonathon Simmons, someone no one knew about 2 weeks ago.. on the floor fighting for a secure spot on the lineup.
That's one thing I always argue a friend of mine about. To me one of Pop's best strengths as a coach is that he usually gives young players a chance to go out there and prove themselves in meaningful minutes. He's not afraid to lose an extra few games to not only rest his stars but also get his young players reps in important minutes. And if they show they can play he'll keep giving them opportunities. Then come playoff time when someone ends up in foul trouble or they have an injury they have backups ready to go that won't be completely shell shocked.

God damn that was an extremely dumb foul by Howard. With 5 fouls why the hell would make a reckless reach in like that.
