GAME 1: DAL (0-1) @ PHX (1-0) | 105-107 loss

[ThisIStheYear]

So Maxi played 26 minutes tonight to Wood’s 24?  That’s brutally idiotic.  It’s idiotic on its own merits, but also, Maxi was breaking down during the second half of last year. He rallied in the playoffs but the physical decline is likely to resume this season. He was awful tonight. And, if he keep playing 26 minutes per night, his body will be broken by Christmas. Optimistically, he has maybe 15 minutes per in the tank.

And Wood is clearly the team’s second best player, or at least the only player on the roster who can be a second best player. He needs to play 35 minutes on most nights.
