Other than keeping pressure up for ROY honors, what reason is there to keep playing Coop for these last few weeks of the season? He's seen everything there is to see this year and keeping him on the court for meaningless games doesn't make sense. There's no body left on the schedule who is really playing hard for position. Most of the playoff teams are just trying to get through the next couple weeks without injuries.

I think it's time Coop's sprained arch flares back up, forcing some missed games.

I'd like for him to play in all of them the rest of the way. Hit the 70 games played mark. Finish the season strong. On a high note. I think he wants to play, which is also part of it.
