Portland and Milw for starters. Lets see if LA plays Kobe for 45 minutes a night now that they are out. I'm sure we would

It's Kobe's first or second game back. Of course they won't play him that much. I haven't followed Portland or Milwaukee lately, but I'll look at their minutes since you called this to my attention.

Portland's starters are all getting similar minutes in April to what they got earlier in the year, except Shareef, who's averaging over 40 mpg this month.

Same story with Milwaukee. Starters getting similar minutes to earlier in the year and Redd averaging 40 mpg. I don't think any of these teams is playing a 19 year old close to 20 mpg like the Knicks are playing Ariza.
