Deron needs to understand that while the Jazz are trying to win the West, the more minutes he rests now the more energy he conserves for down the stretch.</p>
It's great that he wants to be out there all the time, but in the long run, for this season and beyound, it's for the best to not go overboard on the minutes.</p>
The timing of these comments baffle me. He's playing 36.8 minutes per game, and played 40 minutes in their last game. That's plenty of run.</p>
