    Agreed but gotta balance against what it might do for the confidence of the 3rd stringers.

    This is true, but is it correct?

    Any time you can get your not so frequently played players time to play the better.

    Ideally you’d love to see them prove that he can do that.

    Big time clutch move by a young coach, love it… Absolutely love it.

    Of course it happens and it looks bad on paper if you Lose, but it’s nice to see him showing trust in the depth of this roster.

    We our offense by 3 but held another team under 100 again. 18 below the average what we was given up. Nice win by the Blazers tonight.

    I'm with you 100%. I think most vet coaches have an irrational fear of the 1:100 outcome.

    This is exactly why I said "I'm not saying it's a mistake" because in general, I think what Billups did is probably the right thing.
