We all have our ideas who should be starting and who should be playing, but what we don't know is the actual physical condition of each player each week. Maybe a player coming off surgery looks great, and we think they should be starting or playing more minutes, but maybe their endurance is still not up to par yet. The coaches and trainers know this, but we don't. That's where they earn their money. As fans, we can only trust that they make the correct decisions. And probably in most cases they do. They're going to do what they feels gives their team the best chance of winning. Sometimes they're right, and sometimes wrong, but that's life. Nobody wins them all.

I always have to remind myself that coaches see things in practice that we do not. And I just don't know enough about basketball to see things like positioning, knowing where to be, fundamentals, etc.
