00:00This might be a weird take, but it's been popping around in my head since we heard the
00:20breaking news on Sean Nargett, and some people are saying he'll be back in a week.
00:24No, no.
00:25He will be re-evaluated in a week, so we'll see where it goes from there.
00:29Putting aside the obvious, you'd never want to have injuries, but if you did, is this
00:37not a more advantageous time to suffer this injury than at any point later in the season
00:44just because your schedule is soft?
00:46I don't mean in terms of the playoffs and everything, just because your schedule's soft
00:49right now.
00:50Yes and no.
00:51So I'm the opposite of that.
00:52I want to play all my best players against the worst teams.
00:55Because you know you've got pretty much a guarantee.
00:57I need to win those games.
00:58At the end of the year, you don't go, well, they won 52 games, but they were against most
01:02of the average to bad teams.
01:03Look, they're the three seed.
01:04They won 52 games.
01:07I think it's weird at times where you're like, let's sit them out against Utah, then you
01:11lose the Utah game, then you're like, let's play them against, I know they won the Oklahoma
01:15City game, but let's play against Oklahoma City.
01:19And I know that I'm just using that for an example, that's a bad example, but I'm using
01:22it.
01:23You're like, wait a second, shouldn't we kind of go all out, make sure you get the Utah
01:26wins and the New Orleans win when they don't have anybody.
01:30Hey, what's the chance of beating Denver?
01:3250-50, like, hey, you could go either way.
01:34It's a very even matchup.
01:38What's the chance of beating Utah?
01:3990%.
01:40What if we sit a player out?
01:41Oh, it gets to be closer to 50-50 if you sit out Kyrie or Luka in that game.
01:45So I'm kind of of that mindset, but I'm with you on this.
01:51If you can promise me Luka is close to 100% in April, I'd rather have him close to 100%
01:58in April and then dealing with, and I do think this is a real injury, I don't want anybody
02:01to get this, he's not, to me, he's not faking a wrist injury, it's that he fakes so many
02:06things that I don't know when he's really hurt on the basketball court.
