Got to find a balance there.Scal was actually just talking about thatThat would apply more to guys who have been playing normal minutes to begin with.Tatum and Brown have played way too many minutes this season. Did we learn nothing from last season ?Tatum especially needs rest - he is a different player with fresh legs. Let him sit at home for a couple of the road games remaining.Others who should reduce and not increase minutes down the stretch, Horford, Smart and maybe even White. He has played a lot.

Rob looking like last season Rob....15:30min, 8reb,1assist,3steals,3blcks and 4pts. I would hope that by the playoffs he would be playing 25-30 min.
I think either of the next two games are the last best chance for the C's to potentially rest guys (Tatum). Should still beat SAS and WAS without him. After that though, it's showtime the rest of the way with some pivotal games as well (MIL, PHI)

It’s best to keep playing everyone this week if we can, since we’re looking more like the Celtics the last couple of games. I’d rather keep up that energy vs. San Antonio than rest Tatum and take us out of any groove we might be formumkng.

He should. I'm fine with them managing the minutes now and letting him ramp up. I also love that he's coming off the bench. I think that's the best course of action with Timelord given his injury history. Have him as a 20-30 minute role player. That doesn't mean he can't play with the closing lineup either IF the situation calls for it late, but I think to enhance and maximize the potential with Timelord and the C's, they are better off having him come off the bench rather than starting games and playing 28-30+ MPG regularly. It just feels to me these injuries start popping up for him when he's playing heavy minutes, or playing a much bigger role as a starter
