I don't see any posters getting attacked at all. I know you don't speak for everyone who's concerned for JV's minutes......But to say that EVERYONE who has concern is painted with the fire DC/Coddle JV brush is simply not true and not what i've seen in this thread.
The truth is there are many posters in the "JV needs more 4th Q PT camp" who have said some pretty nasty stuff about Dwane Casey. It's almost like they truly believe he's incompetent and has somehow led this team to a 13-2 record by luck. They honestly feel that they know more than he does when it comes to JV. Keep in mind some of these same posters have been screaming this for years now and even after he led the team to a 48-34 franchise record in wins, still wanted him gone.
What you're probably seeing is a backlash from some fans who think that while JV is important to this team and the future.....he's not above anyone else on the team. He's not an all-star YET and doesn't deserve any special treatment than the other guys. Simple as that (at least for me). Therefore, the minutes he gets, are the minutes he deserves (due to what he's earned or simply due to match-ups). Despite all the complaining about the way he's being handled, the fact remains that he's 5th in minutes per game (behind the other 4 starters) and he's 22 years old. Also, he's the starter on a 13-2 team 15 games in. I'm encouraged that you also believe that it is nit-picking.
