Please....NO Injuries in Preseason!!!

[emeans]

I am praying and hoping that the Hawks can finally get through a pre-season without any major injuries to any of its players.

This has killed us in the past....EVERY YEAR!!

If we can go into the season healthy, especially our key players then we will be pretty good this year.

I would event think about sitting injury prone and key players like Speedy, JJ, Marvin, Smoove for extended minutes these last few pre-season games.

Even rookies that should contribute like Acie and Horford would get playing time, but I would be very careful. We are depending heavily on these guys for our success this year too!!

I am in complete agreement...we are already playing an 8 man rotation with certain players playing heavy minutes. Its time to keep everybody under the 25 minute mark for these final games.

I think the early games of the preseason schedule are crucial to conditioning and learning the flow of this promised uptempo offense. I don't want to see anyone getting 35+ minutes, but I'm fine with 28-30.

When we get to the last couple of games, then we can scale guys back to 15-20 minutes and give AJ, Lo, Solo, West, etc. time to get some run.
