Why are timeouts usually called?

-to sub guys
-to draw up a specific play or adjust strategy
-when the a team is going on a big run and the other team wants to stop play in a futile attempt to cool them off
-to show 700 car commercials

there are also "official's timeouts" at certain intervals each quarter that are literally an excuse to show more commercials

to allow someone who has had a great performance to sub out so they can get a standing ovation

yeah you can sub in and out on timeouts but there's usually enough dead balls (stoppages in play) that i don't think coaches ever call timeouts for that purpose.

Gregg Popovich will call a timeout the first time his team gets scored on to yell at them if he doesn't like what he sees

I forgot the exact details but it's like 3~4 designated broadcast timeouts in each period. *I think* 1st and 3rd quarter get a boardcast timeout every 3 minutes and 2nd and 4th quarter gets broadcast timeouts at 9:00 and 6:00

it can kinda go hand-in-hand, like the other teams on a run because they're torching someone so you call a timeout to both break momentum and get that dude out/get a good player back in

one of my local pubs has its own microbrwery, and sadly I dont think the american product gets shipped here, so I'd have to only be a mid-tier fraud.

frye hasnt played any meaningfull playoff minutes since the pacers series

Yeah you're right, I misremembered. It was against Toronto where Frye played about 15mpg and Jefferson played 6 minutes the whole series. Against Boston Jefferson was back in the rotation.

Either way having him guard KD is not going to end up well. But they probably know that.
