Chicken and egg thing, imho. Rudy is playing only 5 minutes less, per game, than he did last year - and he is playing a lot worse. I am guessing the reason he plays less is because he is not playing better, not the other way around. Rudy seemed to get back some of his offensive game last night and he played a little longer than he did the game before. Likewise, Blake's time on the court was down from 38 minutes to 31. Rudy is responsible for his own playtime, imho - which is how it should be.
I can agree with that Andalusian. I'd still rather see the Blakes heavy minutes cut down quite a bit, and distributed between Rudy and Bayless.
