Memo to players complaining about minutes: Shut Your Mouth!

D-Will has been getting a lot of minutes and that can't continue throughout the whole season. But right now I think it's fine, Williams came out of the gates this season a little rusty, long games seem to only be helping him.

Yeah, and I'm sure your body would hold up just fine banging NBA players 40 minutes a night, 82 nights of the year. I'm pretty sure you would tear something eventually going up against such size and length night in, night out.

This would be correct...if we assume Rimcheck is a 5'7" 125 lb power forward from a local YMCA league.
 
10 bucks says Deron's comments are being taken out of context.

My guess is it's a call out to Ronnie P and Watson to step up their game. It's tough to win championships without a solid backup PG to allow D to rest a bit during games. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Pay me a couple of million and I'll play or at least try to play with anything torn, ripped, or broken. I've been playing basketball with a broken thumb the past month and after having my eye scraped off in a game, I didn't miss my weekly basketball game.

Internet badass! Don't you want a fresh team for the playoffs? Think ahead. The low minute strategy rocked for San Antonio a few years back. They traded home court advantage for fresh legs, were confident, and hurt teams. Jazz and every other team should do the same.

There's a huge difference in resting an old player and resting a player who's in his prime. The point is, if a coach wants you play the minutes, you play the minutes and you don't call him out.
 
It appears just about everyone in this thread is ****ing retarded. I'm not even sure where to start with the idiocy on this.

Keep hurling Rome's regurgitated crap, Archie.

I'm not sure you know what "call out" means. Actually, I take that back, I know you don't know what it means.

Hell, KD plays pretty much the whole game every game.

You want to take a guess who's 'calling out' his coach here?

“Nah. But it would have been cool to get a couple minutes (rest). My shots looked good. But we’ve got to do a better job of, leading up to the fourth quarter, having a better game. A couple minutes would have been cool. But I’m not going to blame it on that.”

I don't care about Lebron James. Dude is dead to me. We're talking about Deron Williams. So unless you want to bring anything besides conjecture and armchair quarterback responses, you'd be wise to stop.
 
Deron's minutes the past 3 games: 54 (double OT but take away the extra periods and it's still 44 minutes), 43 and 42.
He gets one rest to start the 2nd quarter and plays the entire 2nd-half. I don't think he's necessarily complaining, but no one who knows anything about the NBA can say this should continue for an 82-game season. We have to find a backup PG to give Deron atleast a 3 min rest in the 2nd-half or he'll be worn down by February. That said, I don't think it's so much the backup PG's as it is the entire 2nd-unit. If there was one more scorer (aka Millsap's old role) in that group whoever was playing backup PG would be running things more effectively.

Dude, I started the thread. I know what it is about. Did you read the OP? Was it just about Deron? Answer the question, big boy.

Nice try for a recovery though, num num head.

If I could edit this, I would. I apologize to most people in this thread, I skimmed the responses when I replied. Most of you have brains and kudos.

I was listening to DJ and PK this morning and they were on the phone with Locke. Locke was talking about the back up PG situation and Deron getting too many minutes. Deron told Locke that he was getting too many minutes and Sloan better figure something out soon.


I know the NBA schedule is brutal and I'm amazed players can play a full season, but don't complain about too many minutes while you're in your prime. That's something I would expect from some ***** like AK or Tracy McGrady. Man up and play. Hell, KD plays pretty much the whole game every game.

You have a really bad memory.
 
Numberica is selective. He can't admit he made a mistake.

Here's the ORIGINAL POST.

Ok, so LeBron is calling out the Heat coach Eric Spoelstra about playing too many minutes. He played 44 and DWade played 40. Jim Rome made an excellent point in saying what super star tells their coach they're playing them too many minutes while they're in their prime? Michael Jordan? No. Karl Malone? Hell no. I was so annoyed when I heard this. Paul Millsap wouldn't never say this and no one on the Jazz would, right? WRONG!!!! I was listening to DJ and PK this morning and they were on the phone with Locke. Locke was talking about the back up PG situation and Deron getting too many minutes. Deron told Locke that he was getting too many minutes and Sloan better figure something out soon.

I may have a bad memory, but you're dumb as hell.
 
Hold up, so because you talk about Lebron James and Deron Williams, it means you're not talking about Deron Williams?

I'm talking about any player who tells his coach not to play him so many minutes as discussed in this thread. I heard Deron was one of them.
