    Oh so you’re saying if a team is missing key players, they aren’t as good and are more apt to lose?

    Nuggets and Jazz, now that’s a playoff type game.

    Pop's answer was "Because I didn't want to go into overtime." Ouch.

    Not sure I'd necessarily call Mo a "key" player this season sir.

    Our starting SF for 3 years....a guy who has held Paul George to 2 pts in the 4th qtr with lock down defense......I'd say he's a key player until I saw Jake fill in...Jake was an asset over that stretch..your core starting lineup for all practical purposes should be your key players eh?

    Pops has been known to sit his best 3 players against good teams and lose games because of it...he's unconventional to say the least but his team is never gassed come playoff time and his bench is in game shape

    5 championships gives him the benefit of the doubt.

    That's not what happened here. He sat DeRozen for the final play because DeRozen is a bad three point shooter.

    I didn't say it was a "bad" thing...just unconventional

    He sat those guys for the whole game. Pop just sat DeRozen for the last play even though he had scored 26 in the game. DeRozen was benched for being a bad three point shooter.

    Anyone a doctor? Is a quad tendon tear better for Oladipo long term than an ACL tear?
