If there's one thing we know about a Tom Thibodeau-coached team it's that he's going to play his starters a ton of minutes. He's been known to run with short rotations, relying heavily upon his starters to the point where there tends to be criticism about overworking his stars.

On Wednesday, Mikal Bridges of the New York Knicks made headlines and raised eyebrows when he revealed to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post that he'd asked head coach Tom Thibodeau to lighten the minutes load on the team's starters.

Thibodeau has faced criticism for playing his starters too much. Bridges' comments on the matter caused a stir.
