Can't really bring myself to go to bat for Redick since he wasn't a huge positive while he was on the court (he wasn't bad, and i'm not arguing with you, just saying I can't really get heated about it), but totally agree on Favors.
Here's his shot chart from this game:

That's just... really good! He was 8 of 9 at the rim, and nobody seemed to be able to stop him getting there. He had 10 points in the first quarter, and it never looked difficult for him. He was playing solid defense too, and rebounding at a good rate.
Unless he was being minutes restricted or something for his injury, there is no real good reason for holding him out. He was really really good in his minutes, and was a huge part of that first quarter going our way.
