Please fix your quotes. And again, he didn't get an unusually low amount of minutes for a unremarkable rookie. He didn't end up in "the dog house;" he just didn't show much.
I'm going to say disastrous pet jumps should be the appropriate new theme: http://33.media.tumblr.com/ecece2e55ebf563b0f5b37f786ec850c/tumblr_nk2dnhuE7x1s612eao1_500.gif
Pretty much; nobody disagrees that it's a war crime that Hinirch got as much time as he did during the season as opposed to McDermott getting more minutes, but it's weird how some people talk about him sometimes like there's potentially this gamechanging talent just rotting on the bench. McDermott got just under the number of minutes that Jimmy Butler got in his rookie season. And as good as Butler has become, he didn't enter the league that way...it took time to develop. Maybe McDermott will end up being awesome, but trying to shoehorn him in to the playoffs with around 300 minutes played in the regular season does nobody any good. Great points.
He really didn't get an unusually low amount of minutes for a rather unremarkable rookie; we were just especially bothered by it because the alternative was the walking pit of despair that is Kirk Hinirch. Odds are Doug McDermott wouldn't be a significant factor in these playoffs even if he had gotten more time.

Helped with what? He didn't get much time this year and what time he did get he mostly sucked in, so now we're now we're going to play what if? with the idea of him inexplicably getting significant time AND actually contributing in a chance to go up 3-1 in the second round of the playoffs? I mean, you see how ridiculous that sounds when you see it spelled out like that, right?

Three - GarPax are too And yet they willfully signed Kirk Hinrich. Plus nobody's actually vomiting over basketball games unless they're a [expletive] lunatic.
In game one Rose had 25 and Butler had 20. Mike Dunleavy had 14 points. Pau Gasol had 21 points. In game two Butler scored the most points with 18. Rose had 14. Next up were Gibson and Gasol with 11 points each. In game three Rose went out of his mind and had 30 points. Butler had 20. Dunleavy had 16 and Mirotic had 12. Game four is the only game in the series where Rose and Butler completely dominated the offense, so what the hell are you even complaining about? Well, guess it would be a bit much to expect any kind of rational analysis from the guy posting this 8 hours after the game was over.
I'm a little surprised at how quickly I flipped back to "oh, the Cubs are on? Nah, I think I'll do something else." Granted, there's playoffs and holidays and stuff, too, but still. I don't like it when they make me sad.
