I've noticed that, and then he will send up a sub 1 play after the timeout. It drives me nuts.

there it is reke and cuz
And he did it again... don't get it at all.
I enjoy when Cuz and Evans get 35 minutes. I do not enjoy that it normally comes with 12 minutes in the first and 24 minutes in the second half...

This season is half over, not going to happen. But we can keep making fun of it for entertainments sake. I always try to guess his sub pattern, and I am always wrong. It's fun!

gets a bit complicated when you have Crawford and Price from the bench, too.

Yes, I agree and I sure didn't mean this. He will play both 20 minutes in the 2nd half. I meant something a little more sane.

Sometimes he makes a slow transition to what we want. Let us hope.

I also noticed that the team hardly does anything during a timeout. Usually 1 or 2 players listening to Smart, or he is having a conference with his coaches.

yep.and as much as he dominates the ball he only has 1 more assist than Tyreke...
Reke has 4 field goal attempts, IT has 6 (8 if you include the 4 free throw attempts from fouls drawn).

OK, now, if you want to win, and I say IF, you play a lot of minutes to anyone who happens to be hot and unless there is some very unusual circumstance, you give a lot of minutes to your big studs because they can break loose at anytime,
Now what do you do when your #1 stud scores 10 points on 4-7 shooting in the first quarter? 4-7 is statistically almost off the chart for this particular shooter. ALMOST. I think you can merge both principles and play him A LOT more than usual. So what happens? Nothing which either means Smart doesn't agree with my reasoning or he is unaware of how this guy is playing.
Edit: the truth may be that Smart knows no other way of coaching than using unit ball. Any change from that leads to a horrible headache from the dissonance it leads to.

He received 17 mins in the first half, for the whole game that is 34.. which is close to your request for 35+

I added more to my note. I think he should have been played more in the 2nd quarter.

I agree with that. I am a fan of the plan to play him 10-11 mins in the 1st quarter, then the final 8 mins of the second quarter, depending on foul situation.
Maybe next coach
