Coaches are not paid to cover spreads. They are paid to win games.

So Pavy, a team has a chance to come back from being 17 points down with only a couple minutes left in the game??

If you ask me keeping the star players in during garbage time is NOT a wise move and can lead to injuries.

Grizzlies starters are either rookies or very young players. Maybe the coach wanted them to play to get some experience against the Celtics. It's not like the Grizzlies are making the playoffs and he wanted to protect them.

The bulls were down by 17 against the rockets with around 5 minutes left a few weeks ago and won!
