Celts should cost throughout the regular season, save themselves for the playoffs.

Or KG, for that matter. I don't know if I can buy into the concept of "coasting" through the season anyway. If by "coast", you mean limit KGPPRA's minutes, then I agree. If you think they can just "take it easy", well, they can't. They're pro athletes. They play hard. And frankly I'm not dropping $60 bucks on a ticket and $150 on a leaguepass to watch them do anything but play hard and to win every game possible.

Might take time for this team to gel, so building an early-season division lead then "coasting" away might not even be an option.

Duncan, Ginobli, and Parker averaged 34, 27, and 32 minutes respectively last year.

Who was fresh in June?

Look how banged up Nash is every year by playoff time.

As I've said, I think KGPPRA should average a total of ~105 MPG. That'd be 35 MPG per guy. They've all got career averages of ~38. I'd prefer keeping KG somewhere ~38 or 39, Pierce ~35, and Allen ~32. We don't have the luxury that SA does with limiting minutes (plus, Duncan needs it a lot more than KG).

GKA - seriously? Big 3 are not exactly young guys anymore, think any idiot would be very conscious of their minutes.

I'm buying the package for this team. I'm really looking forward to it. It may not be #17 but they're going to be much more fun to watch. I look forward in watching Paul play with the two best players that he's ever played with.
