Going by last season's stats, Terry is the 3rd best scorer on our team (and only behind KG for 2nd by about 1/2 a point) so why did 6 other players get more minutes than Terry tonight?
Terry is not going to wear out. He's shown no signs of needing rest or less minutes last year. He's only missed about 30 games over 13 seasons. He's never missed more than 8 games in one year and has never been injury prone. If he's getting only 24 MPG now, what about when Bradley comes back?? This is not a good sign.
Terry's time will be 21 MP +/- 3 all season before the playoffs. When Bradley comes back, Lee will lose lots of time, Rondo, and Barbosa also will lose a minute or three.
Terry is 35, and this teams big selling point is depth at the 1-2-3. Beating a guy that is older then Pierce when you have depth? It doesn't seem wise. For one thing Doc is still trying to figure what he has. How would he know for instance the Sullinger doesn't get the defensive rotations, and that his lack of foot speed would be costing them already. There are another dozen issues with the team.
Check back after game 20, it should be much more clear.
