outside of david lee, he IS playing the young kids...over maurice AND malik.
Minutes per game is misleading when Lee has 13 DNPs - Coach's Decision next to his name that don't affect that average. If you factor in his 13 DNPs, over 52 games, Lee averages 12 minutes. There's also the fact that Lee racked up 349 of his 631 minutes this season, or 55% in the 13 game stretch where he was a starter. We went 6-7 in those games, by the way, and the last three losses came sans Marbury.
Lee's seven games in February look like this:
2/3 TOR - 23min
2/5 HOU - 0 min
2/7 LAC - 1 min
2/8 NJN - 8 min
2/10 NOR - 11 min
2/12 HOU - 2 min
2/13 DAL - 7 min
2/15 TOR - 20 min
Does that look like a set ammount of minutes that Lee knows he will get so he knows how to prepare for a game? And people will say, "oh, Lee has to earn his minutes." BULL! What has he done to NOT earn minutes? He's our leading rebounder per 48 minutes, despite his bull crap allotment of retarded minutes from our idiot piece of crap coach.
I can't believe anyone is standing for this bull crap. This is not the way you treat young players, you don't teach them by abritrarily starting them in their home town then benching them after they won six in a row starting. What an awful job Brown has done.
