Last week when we played the Timberwolves, we couldn't generate offense to save our lives. Monty, to his credit, tried EVERY SINGLE lineup combination in the book and got NOTHING for three quarters. Late 3rd-early 4th, he found a lineup that clicked, including Ayon, Summers, and Belinelli, and he literally rode them for most of the quarter. Despite Kaman, Okafor, Smith, etc. being the big rotation players, they sat. Landry got a lot of burn with that squad, but he only shot 1 of 8 for that game because Darko and Kevin Love owned him on offense.
So when Monty finds players/combinations that click, he rides them. Landry, Kaman, and Okafor's 3rd/4th quarter minutes have all been cut the last few games. It's not just Landry he's picking on, I would argue.
