Great game by the BigTicket. He is BACK! But could someone please explain his limited minutes (31minutes). Either this guy is injured or Doc is an incompetent coach. The only guy who had it going & Doc decides to baby him like it the regular season. Ride the horse who got it going. Sorry Doc but this one is on you. Its the Finals, HELLO!!!

Ray misses 13 straight shots, Pierce turns in his third consecutive non-performance on offense and you pin it on Doc?

KG is OLD, and we're at the end of a 100 game season. He can't go 40 minutes anymore. Not if you want him to be effective. He was playing so hard, there's a good chance he was gassed when he came out.

I don't buy it for a second. How old is he 33? Fisher is 36 and chasing Ray all over the place. Calling him old is a copout. He was having an incredible game. 31minutes isn't enough. Doc please let him loose, its the finals.

Baby was playing well, Sheed was playing well on defense....and the bench was getting the team back into the game.

I think it was more resting KG so he could finish stronger in the 4th quarter.

I agree, I don't understand why KG was sitting so long either.

Garnett should be in the 36-38 minute range. Possibly more if they need him or if he is playing very well like he was tonight.

Playing well with combined (-21) differential.

Its one thing if KG wasn't playing well, but that wasn't the case. KG had a great rhythm all game, why limit him?

Agree 100 percent. KG must play more than 31 minutes. Not enough. He was dominant tonight.
