Apparently, ESPN is counting the minutes with a different clock than you are.

See my edit above. Mine were off a little.

Good to see them win one. Beasley didn't play in second half. Coincidence?

Not in the least (I know it was rhetorical, I couldn't resist answering it anyway).

Not sure when you posted that, but Dudley finished w/ 43 minutes and Brown with 39, Gortat 34, Dragic 33 per ESPN.

All I meant was, Gentry has a tendency of leaving most of the same guys in if they are playing well, all the way to the end in many cases, even when they start bricking. He did some subbing down the stretch tonight with Tucker.

Good to get the W.

Posted right before the game winner. Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't think it's possible to run NBA players into the ground in a single game. Pretty much any decent rotational player should be able to log 40+ minutes on any given night, it's only the cumulative effect of doing it game in game out that can grind them down over a season.

I'd say bricking shots is more an indication of how inconsistent most of the roster is than it is of them being tired.

I called it. Have Dragic drive it to the basket.

Congrats on that and the win too of course...really can't gi wrong with Dragic's drive, if he can't get an open shot, there's still other options there, Gortat and Dudley in this case were open at that moment.

how was gortat against the much more physical z-bo and gasol?

He did well. Especially against Z-Bo.
