I'm leaning towards the idea of Ott being told to play the vets over the young guys right now. I could see the mentality of "if we sit Allen or Royce for Dunn and Fleming it might hurt their trade value this summer", but that's stupid anyway because those guys are what they are and teams know their games. Cutting their minutes doesn't mean they can't play, it means we're just shifting strategy to the young players.

If these rotations are indeed Ott's call, you have to genuinely wonder what's going thru his head and is there a chance he loses the lockerroom.

I also wonder if Allen's playing thru that knee injury because he was pretty solid defensively most of the year.

It's a real shame to see how we are ending the season. We had such great energy and hustle and immaculate vibes for about 2/3 of the season. And now we decide to throw it all away and limp to the finish line. The rotations are baffling and we're sitting guys who could be helping. And several guys who were great earlier in the season (Gillespie, Williams, Allen) just aren't delivering right now. Combine that with the pretty regular poor shooting performances from Book and Green, and Brooks still not looking 100% back from his injury yet, and you pile up a bunch of Ls.

I just really think we are going to lose our play-in games and not qualify for the playoffs. I can feel it coming. Clips will smoke us, and then POR or GSW will put us out of our misery.
