Nori on Damian LillardKeptLillard will get 28 to 32 minutes, not 36
Minutes target · said Oct 27
“Like I told them, you're going to get yourself to your 28 to 30, 32 minutes. It might not be the 36. And I don't think that those three guys, when I say those three, Drew, Ja, and Dane, they may get those every once in a while, but I don't think consistently that it'd be fair to them to play them that much.”

Udoka on Kevin DurantKeptDurant's minutes should come down some this year
Fewer minutes · said Oct 26
“The more we can rest Kevin and not have to rely on him to come back in the game and kind of sustain our offense, I think we're much better equipped to do that this year. So he should come down some. It's hard to take a man off the court because of all the good things he does. But you have Tari, you have Javar, you have different guys that can do that as well.”

More shots · said Oct 25
“Well, Yaxel, he has the ability to create a shot for us, so we will definitely go to him more often. Watching the tape, I thought we got pretty good shots for the most part, but it's just a lot of pressure on Steph and Dray to put them in that.”
