I think he exceeded it by a total of like 3 minutes between the last 2 games.

That was too much for Amare, let alone haviong to battle Ibaka in the last game, and actually drew a charge.

Woodson needs to keep the guy fresh, stay on the bench, monitor the minutes, contribute at the same time preserve him.

4 games in 5 nights, capped off with games exceeding the limit.

One game exceeding limit I think. Only vs Cleveland. He played 28:55 vs OKC. Probably more so the 4 games in 5 nights.

Good idea. Playing on bacl to back nights even if under 25mins is not a good idea. Amare is running on borrowed time. Mins need to be limited completely

Dude hadn't even played all season and his knees are sore.

Go back to my posts. Never said play more than 25-30 mins. Just cos u start doesnt mean u need 40

Should limit him to 5-10. White and kts role. Start and get pulled. Comback late in the 4th

This makes it all the more strange why no minutes for Cope! Even KMart got a DNP for some reason recently. Woody could easily find a way to limit STATS minutes or rest him a game when he needed to. I don't understand his resistance to using his bench forwards.

I think he keeps dogging it in practice- every time there's a clip on msg.com from the Mike Woodson show, he is telling Cope off for being lazy- here, scroll down to vids and click on show more until you see the "coach knows best one"- you'll see him getting told off right at the start:

Shame because we could really use his youth and scoring.
