If the West is close and we're trying to avoid dropping into the PIT, that would suggest that we're contending for home court, which was the condition I named in my first post.Assuming the western conference is as close as it has been the last handful of seasons, the incentive to play Dame heavy minutes will be to avoid being a PIT or (hopefully not) make sure we are a PIT.
In an 82 Game Season that = being up by 4 against the pistons at the end of the 3rd. At which point you hope the team can close it out and you can sit Dame at the end of the 4th.
If we're fighting to win games to get into the PIT, then I'll continue to argue that we shouldn't be playing Dame big minutes to reach that status.
