    This whole cup is bringing us intense basketball during the beginning of the season. Pretty cool!

    This is an inevitable ticking time bomb. You can't question a player's ability to take the court like this without eventually getting egg on your face. As a fan I'm sick of all the sit outs, but this is gonna blow back hard when they least expect it.

    I don't see why they can't just sharply reduce a player's minutes for a couple of games. Give Trae most of a night off when he misses the first couple of shots. Internally, you have a wink and a nod, maybe even have him limp a little on the way to the bench. Externally, people don't notice as much as a big DNP.

    Players would never go for that because it would kill their per game stats.

    I mean, 95% of guys don't release end of quarter 3/4 court shots before the buzzer because they don't want their FG% affected.
