    Not an actual Stotts quote.
    Made up way before game ended.

    This year, I'm with you.

    Still have a lot of optimism for next year though.

    Why did Melo only play 23 mins?

    Probably because Trent and Hezonja were playing the best and he wanted to give them more minutes.

    Maybe this will lead to a mutual parting of ways with coach Stotts

    Why would it be mutual? Did I miss something that Stotts said?

    As a fan, this is a big part of what is grinding me down. Is anybody actually coaching this team? How many times do they have to hit the iceberg before the notion of a course change becomes acceptable?

    Yeah, the problem is that it could pass for an actual Stotts quote.

    Imagine having promising rookies on the bench but not playing them because you really need those minutes to Hezonja and Melo in a lost season

    I think so as well. Health will be a big part of that. Then get the absolute best Draft pick you can because obvously there is a need for more talent. To help accomplish that, play the hell out of Ant/Trent/Little/Gabriel/Swanigan and even Mario. Stop playing Little at the '4' and give these guys some real run . Let them make mistake and find out what you really might have.

    It's not like it would be much worse than the effort the starters gave in the last two games but yet you would be accomplishing so much more for the long run.
