Very encouraged by JO tonight. Not only did he put up a double double with 4 blocks, he also played 30+ minutes. If he can do that in the playoffs, even if Shaq can only go 15-20 mpg, we have the 5 spot totally covered.
My only question is why Doc waited so long. In a back to back game where we rest our starters Doc can play JO 30 minutes, but he could only play 14 minutes against Miami in arguably the biggest game of the season? I know he had foul trouble, but it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me.
