This is fine with me. I just hope Dwight understands when we laugh at him asking for 30 mil a year next offseason, though.

Exactly. I'm fine with it as well, more time for Capela!!

I havent gone through the schedule to count the number of back to backs but I am sure its like around 15 or so -- so that means he misses around that many games. I dont find that to be a huge deal and more importantly the situation is ridiculously fluid. I am sure at the start of the season they may be cautious with things and play him only in one of the two games. I don't know what sort of rehab he has been going through over the summer, but McHale is right they have to be smart with him. Dwight has had two big surgeries in the last 3 seasons and he may not get back to the one in the lifetime athletic freak he was in 4-5 years ago, BUT thats not to say he cant still be a dominant force out there. We saw how he performed in the playoffs up until he got hurt again in the WCF

I would imagine on how he holds up as the season progresses they either reduce his minutes or hold him out of the occasional game to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

Also I think they are more willing to do this because of the development of Capela. The more experience he gets the better he has played if he can be a legit 15-20 minutes a game it would do wonders for Dwight going forward.

I think there are 20 back-to-back pairs of games this year.

So that means Dwight will miss 20 games minimum.

21 games.
