Conjecture suggests we don’t have information backing up the science behind load management and progressive fatigue raising the probability of injury.

But again, since you ignored it last time, tell me what we should do with BI? By your logic when he was playing 38mpg and began to have achilles pain, according to your expert opinion it had nothing to do with over exertion(even though we know achilles injuries very often can be the result of progressive body fatigue and impact) and that going back to playing BI 38 minutes was fine and he should just rub some dirt on it and continue?

Conjecture would apply to what you are doing. Forming an opinion(players can essentially play forever because Jordan did it in the era of slow pace) without actually having a strong basis in evidence behind it.

But please, tell me more about how Aaron Nelson knows less than BRmark from Baton Rouge about whether to ignore progressive fatigue concerns and rest guys like Jonas

I live in Georgia now, but regardless. If he is sore or if he is in danger of re-injury, then he should not be playing. It's that simple. It might be different if he was rehabbing or in recovery and there was a slow build up. But minutes restrictions are not tenable for the long term.

If it helps, I mostly agree with you. I just believe if you are healthy to play, you play as much as you can, that it benefits the team. Every player has their limits. I trust the coach and trainers to maximize that. I just don't believe in a redline, where he will break down if he passes it.

Let me just say this. If load management is real and something we should adhere to, then the league has got to massively overhaul everything. Less games, longer season, eliminate travel, shorter practices, everything.. if it is really that serious. A team cannot contend when you have to sit starters every tenth game or bumps/bruises are DNPs. That's just not going to work.

I know you want to lose right now, I get it. But with Val last game, we have a shot at a huge upset. We need every player available to be competitive. That is what I want. So we are going be at odds every game on this from here on out, until we are truly done for the season..
