Well ecstatica the coach has to get some rotation going because it's just the mid point of the season. 2 new players, a guy coming off of injury, suspect bench players and going against the NJ Nets = find out what you have. Even if they lose this game it's much better to do this now than doing this in the playoffs.
Also, imagine what would happen if D'Antoni does this Thursday against Miami. He'd get killed by the fans and media for putting in "untested" players.
