Brad owe us an explanation, especially after Smart got fouled out. He could have provided much needed energy off then bench and rest for both AB and IT.

Owes an explanation?

I don't think any coach has to explain game time  desicions. He can but he doesn't owe an explanation

TP I too question the 6 minutes, but never heard of a coach needing to explain his game strategy to the public. 

My feeling is he should also consider playing both Terry and Jonas more. Jonas might have the defensive physicality, ball handling skills and distribution smarts that are needed to compete against the Cavs.

I am mystified that he continues to start Amir and has Jonas buried in the bench, who usually can guard some of the guys that KO was struggling with last night.    It is clear this is audition time for our guys at the highest level of the NBA to see who we are going to keep.

Can you use the ECF like a preseason game to test your players instead of trying to win the series (although unlikely)?

Considering that a couple of seasons ago the team prefered to get the 8th seed rather than a lottery pick i think BS will use the rotations he thinks will help him win

It was more of a tongue in a cheek. But still, the question lingers.

He went with Green and Green lit it up, definitely not a bad decision.

You can't get away with the 3 guard lineup in the same way this series. They have Lebron at small forward for christs sake! Don't expect to see too much of him at all in this series.

Bingo.
