I think Popovich has done it before

What would be the point? With our starting five, at least we'd be sure people could score the basketball.

Maybe if he sits them they can become more classy.

1 game, sit them for the rest of the regular season...what is the difference the way this team is playing right now?

So true. There's just something really wrong. No one is passing the ball well. The game is slow. They're waiting till the last minute to shoot the ball - when it's too late.

Tommy kept saying tonight 'there's no chemistry'. I don't quite know how to define that word, but I have to agree. Something's just not right.

Kevin Love is out for the season most likely so the T-Wolves will probably blow us out.

Indian is definately going to murder us.

I dont see why sitting the starters is a bad idea, were going to lose the rest of the games we play most likely.

LOL Megatron, yes it does seem so. What will it hurt? Maybe we'll win a game for a change.

Yes. I am for sitting them for a game or even 2 games except for Nenad. He has to be playing.

Lack thereof...

Yes, so true and a good way to put it. They did seem to read each other's minds before. It was smooth, effortless (or seemed so) and even when we lost, it was still all right as we knew they'd come back next game. There's a lack of emotion from almost every player. Rhondo's enthusiasm - seems like he's become depressed. KG's confidence and rage - where is it?

Paul lately has become inconsistent. Ray is Ray, either on or off, but when he's on he's wonderful.

It seems it might be more than just not having Perk for center, but I have to wonder now if that's part of it.
And then Doc calling them 'soft'...that was just not the way to inspire and motivate the team, imo.

Where's the fire, guys? COME ON.

100% agree with this. I am so tired of seeing these overpayed prima donna's give half hearted efforts out there on the floor instead of coming out and putting poor teams away. Rondo and PP are the primary culprits though in the "I'm not giving full effort until the game is on the line" camp. Sit them and let them learn a lesson. Even if they don't they get a little rest.

Wow  ::)

I think the money they are paid has absolutely nothing to do with what's going on now. They are simply not robots.

Money is just not the issue.

We're all trying to figure out what the problem is and trying to delve deeper for reasons that the starters are having so many problems.

No one said they were robots. Just saying that at the obscene amount of money they are making, especially in light of how many people out there don't even have a job, the LEAST we should demand out of them is to come out and give 100% effort. I would say that many people's opinion of them and allowing them to slack off has a lot to do with how much money they make.

Maybe we should put them on a couch then and ask them about their childhood instead?!

How about Doc sits just Rondo...for the rest of the season. He's absolutely killing the team with his horrendous play.
