    Because he's like the 8th guy on the team lol, even the last game against Sacramento we had Tucker out there, who is more valuable than Moute.

    Exactly! The fact that he is moving around like that gives me hope that he will be back sooner that many expect

    Because Ryan is actually hurt. But technically you didnt have to have tucker out there or play him significant minutes. I would say Luc is 7th guy and very important to our defense and playoff chances. just like the coach you guys are making this harder than it should be and undervaluing the importance of luc. Not to mention that it could have been harden or paul. regardless im done beating a dead horse. season is over, before the injury I said it was a mistake and its still a mistake.

    Ryno didn't practice today. He's 50/50 to play Sunday.

    There is a difference between forecasting with some sort of acumen and dumbass luck. The former is very hard to do even for experts (in fact, many of them do even worse than random dudes). The latter is not that hard. I find your forewarnings to be more of the latter variety. I mean if I say "the stock market will go down by 500 points!" every day, tehre's a chance that at some point in the future, I'm right....but I'm not entirely certain that it makes me into Bobby Axelrod.

    Was it unreasonable to play Luc?

    Again, no more unreasonable than to play him at any point in time since his inital injury in December, as far as we know.

    I do know that I can't think of too many teams that have applied your "wrap the entire team rotation 1-8 in plastic bubble wrap for the last month of the season appraoch" heading into the playoffs. Perhaps it is indeed a viable strategy and you have discovered a potentially disruptive new tactic? Would be interesting to know.

    The counter is, as D'Antoni has said, the only way to really maintain NBA level of conditioning and focus is to play NBA-level games on regular occasions - that's not something you want to really use the first round of the playoffs as a "preseason" for, I don't think.
