I'll take something over nothing, but we have a B2B and we left some guys in really late after they had pulled their guys. I'm taking SD out around the 4:30 mark and putting in the bench guys.

That's why I would have started Hardy from the get-go. He can hide hits flaws with the vets who all look more than willing to help him out. And he's better than some of those starters to boot.
I also like Spencer running the second unit. He has been good this year, but I'm still not crazy about his fit next to Luka.
The main reason you start Green and Hardy now is to preserve the vets for the playoffs when the games grind to a halt. That's where Kidd is maybe starting to get it a little bit with Green.
