Yeah I’m with you I experienced that same backlash too, I don’t subscribe to the “but he’s 23” bs about Maxey, I don’t care if he’s young its still bad for him to play so much
Even if he’s able to handle the physical load what about the mental side of it, surely that’s affected too?
Yeah I expect 38-40mpg in the playoffs not the regular season in an 82 game stretch, I’m sure those folks feel the same too
Keep him as fresh as possible, lower the risk of injury by shaving the minutes because playoffs are where we’ll really need him to play a lot more not the reg season
