    Is the NBA also going to make sure Anthony Davis doesn't get injured?

    Good ones, they're not known as the ironmen of the NBA for nothing

    38 minutes for CJ

    36 minutes for Hassan

    38 minutes for Ariza

    34 minutes for Melo

    What's the point of this?

    So you play them and you take your lumps. Is it really worth it to put Hassan/CJ/Ariza at risk of injury like this?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    36-38 minutes isn't that big of a deal during a playoff push. That's either a quarter off or close to a quarter.

    And why are you citing Anthony's minutes? Does he have a promising future that's being put at risk? He barely belongs in the NBA anymore--the negligent thing is that they think he's worth that many minutes, not that he's being run into the ground.

    Brown and Tatum played 34 minutes. Is an extra 3 for CJ until Dame gets back a really big deal?

    This is the real question.

    Stotts has been on the radio multiple times saying that there are multiple ways to reduce the load for players and a lot of it happens outside of playing time. I seriously doubt Dame and CJ are getting the practice hours this year as they were in their earlier years.

    The guy with the longest contracts (Olshey/Dame/CJ) are the ones who have the power to reduce their minutes.

    Starters play around 36 mins a game.

    I know you are joking (at least I hope you were joking), but that just seems a bit extreme to post.

    If we were talking about something actually dangerous, I'd agree. The extremity was part of the joke when talking about a professional basketball player playing a pretty normal 34 minutes in a game.
