Maybe it’s me but I really think the season has taken a huge physical as well as mental toll on Garzilla. The constant double and triple teaming, dealing with the Iowa scoring record and POY notoriety, the COVID related adjusted scheduling and continually logging 30-35 minutes a game I feel has been too much! He appears to have lost several steps running the floor and there doesn’t appear to be as much spring in his jump. Fran’s normal single substitution around the 12 minute mark each half to me isn’t cutting it and he definitely could have received a little extra rest in the three recent double digit victories. We have a great horse there and sure hope he doesn’t wear out before the finish line.
Luka Physically

Jack N stay out of foul trouble then Luka could get his rest. Also get some big leads on teams (I know that's hard now) and Luka might get a bit more rest. Kid wants to get his points and rebounds too. Wish we had one more big guy to throw in the mix right now.
Unless he's close to a triple double, then he stays in dammit!
I mentioned earlier that I thought the record chase MIGHT be wearing on him, so I'm glad he has it now, and we might see this burden lifted off him. As to the minutes, I don't know about that. He's facing the same attention as last season, and he's actually playing LESS minutes this season then last, even though his numbers are up from last years ridiculous totals.
