No offense taken. I simply disagree. Of course he’s resting when off ball during playoff run averaging 41 mins. That’s a 2011 Dirk strategy, one of many I’m sure Kidd recalls well and likely instructs. When we couldn’t stay competitive while resting Dirk on the bench, we tried resting him on the court while JJB ran the show.
Good strategy this year? Bad strategy? I can see evidence supporting either argument. And I’m sure the coaches are rethinking every decision they made, searching for improvement wherever they can find it.
But Legs says it will be tough to get Luka to buy in if the coaches want him to play more non-resting minutes off ball. That’s what I’m calling bullshit on. There is zero evidence that Luka is resistant in that kind of way. And there’s no way I can agree that the suggestion (Legler’s, not yours) isn’t insulting.

Pessimism doesn’t make you smart, just pessimistic.
