The Blazers have enjoyed enough late-season blowouts that Frye and Bayless are ready and "tuned". In effect, that makes the team 11-deep. I believe this is gonna be a real factor in the (grueling) playoffs, folks.
I think this is not important. If there is a need to play these guys big minutes (or any minutes) in the playoffs it means a blowout - good or bad... Love these kids - but the Playoffs are about shorter rotations.
They're also about matchups. Hey, I'm saying they're gonna play, but Nate has them (ready) at his disposal.
