I don't even understand this argument. You pull your fucking stars when the other team has no chance of beating you.
The Raptors were down 21 when the fourth quarter started. They were down 29 when Embiid dunked, and then Supermanned his ass down the court with 4 minutes to go. He was subsequently hurt, and Doc had no intention of taking him out of the game until later.
You know I know this. Doc didn't sit Harden or Maxey until there was 2:14 left in the game. Harden played 42 minutes, and Maxey played 44 minutes in the game, which means, during a 35 point blowout, Doc found a grand total of 4 minutes and 2 minutes to give Harden or Maxey a breather prior to that. Embiid was leaving the game too at 2:14. Not only did Doc give them virtually no rest, he left Embiid and Maxey in a 30 point game, for almost 2 full minutes, when he knew Embiid just got hurt, and potentially seriously hurt.
You know who else left the game with 2:14 left, every single Raptors starter.
The only way Doc made the right call is if you believe that resting your stars is irrelevant, because, I mean, they could get hurt at anytime, so who cares, play them 48 minutes every night, no matter the score. They could just fall in the locker room after the game, as easily as they could get hurt in the game.
