Two straight defeats overall.
Two straight home losses, one by 18 points and the other to a horrible team.
Two straight fourth quarter debacles.
Still hungover from the Texas Triangle?
Just a hiccup along the way to Banner 17?
Not sure.
What does appear to be the case, however, is that as the regular season winds down, Doc will play his top players playoff-type of minutes against the better teams, and far fewer minutes against the lesser teams.
I'm not sure about the wisdom of this approach, but it does seem like a different approach than the one he uttered after the game against New Orleans. While he did say he would "regulate" the starters minutes, he also paid heed to the fact that he needed to play them enough so they wouldn't get out of synch, out of their rhythm.
It's a delicate balance, but that's what they pay Doc to do.
