To me, that is such a big joke.

Is there anyone of these eigth players, who could whine about his minutes (besides Carroll, who came out of league, totally produced and finds himself on the end of the bench now)

It is another sign, that this coach is unwordly in a nearly hilarious way und totally routine-blinded.

This organisation should be blamed so much, when they keep HIM over the summer. that would be one of the biggest jokes of the nba-century. i hope the front office can dodge that bullett.

So true. What possible grounds would any of these guys (other than Carroll and MAYBE Millsap and Tinsley) have for complaining about minutes? They're all getting more minutes than they deserve. Corbin has totally overlooked Al, Mo, and Foye's awful defense all year. He started Marvin for most of the season despite Marvin's terrible play. He's inexplicably given Watson minutes that should have gone to Burks and/or Carroll. I could go on and on.

If anybody should be praised for not complaining about minutes, it's the young guys (in other words, the guys who have earned more minutes than they're getting as opposed to the guys who, based on nothing more than their status as veterans, are getting more minutes than they've earned). The organization's commitment to praising veterans who will (or at least should) be gone next year and blaming our failures on the guys who comprise our future is so frustrating.

Came in to say the exact same thing. Sometimes, I really think our coach and FO have no idea what they are doing.

As everyone else said why would they complain when they know they don't even deserve the minutes they are getting.

Corbin was clearly talking about that it was easy to get everyone on the team to focus on the season and not on free agency. He never said anything about juggling minutes, the writer put that in there.

I hate when writers do that. Don't put extra stuff in there or try to make a guess about what a person actually meant; just write the story.

It's hard for me to say this... but Reapaman is absolutely right. Corbin was talking about FA, the writer added all the drama. Well said Reapa!

You are totally right. Shame on me. Sometimes i am trying to hard to find critics against corbin.

There are plenty out there looking for any reason to attack the front office/coach. The intensity has ramped up this season but there has always been a portion feeling that way--even back through Sloan's tenure. It won't go away after Corbin is gone either....

It is going to end, when - after this summer - Corbin is gone and the starting five sounds something like x-burks-hayward-favors-kanter.

otherwise it won't stop.
