Soul wrote:Solid, I'm just saying that you seem pretty upset when we got the win, which should be the top issue.. yeah they didn't play great, and its not like SVG always leaves his starters in.. just thought it was a bit silly to get pissed at. Obviously you can feel the way you want, but i'm just glad we beat this depleted ass team!

Of course the win is what matters but the win was in the bag with at least 4 minutes to go. If it was close game I would have had Redick sit with the fans.

So you think JWill still has something left in the tank for next year?

Matty said SVG may have left them in just because he liked the defensive intensity for the first time all game and wanted to finish strong. Whether that's true or not I have no idea. I'm not in SVG's head.

I always love to see JJ, but I'm not freaking out....I'm more concerned with our continued lazy approach to "easy" games.

Doesn't matter. The coaches picked the reserves.

Very true, I believe Jamison deserves that last spot because he is leading the wixards to a great season without Arenas. Hedo is great and is becoming a star though.

You don't like Matty. You should wish permanent injuries on him then!

The Goose sucks, Matty FTW.

I think Hedo should get in.. nobody expected him to even be playing this well, and he's really helped us.. obviously Jamison is playing good too you can make just as good as a case.

SVG stuttering when asked about keeping the starters in.

Darko damn.....12pts/14rbs/5blks.

Well i think the reason the starters were left in the game was because we are soo bad at keeping leads. This team has blown just about any double digit lead they had this season. Happend again last time against Boston. Cant say i blame Stan for keeping them there longer.

and if they see him as "an ugly mug with no star appeal" ? LOL. D12 is on a roll tonight though.

I put the wrong dudes quote, sorry.

Anyway, I have another theory. maybe Redick refused to get in the game. He did demand a trade.

Guokas is awesome, i cant believe anyone is complaining about him.

They payed him all that money to have one good game out of 82? Sounds like a bargain to me! :lol:

I can understand SVG's reasonings for keeping starters in...but this was against a horrible Heat team missing 3 key players and playing on the road...this would be a situation where you might take out the starters earlier than usual, to rest them and also avoid pointless injuries.

Now, if we were playing one of the top teams, it would make absolute sense to keep the starters in there longer.

We should have always kept Darko.. Lewi$ is a bust.
