Seems to me. I used to see players shuffling in and out all the time at the end of games. Now I don't see it much at all.
I'm just wondering why I never see Stevens sub in players for certain situations. I'm thinking subbing out Walker (who plays hard but he's just too short) for Semi or Wannermaker might have made Lowery's life a little harder.
Has there been some kind of rule change that has stopped teams from doing this?
As I said, used to see sometimes multiple players going in and out of the game.

Just wondering what exactly has changed.

How about sending in Rob Williams at the start of each OT for jump ball?

Game goes to fast not to have the best weapons out there.   


Plus the lack of Hayward effects that.   Who off the bench at that point can the Raptors not take advantage of one way or another.

I agree, my first reaction was that of the OP. It would have been nice to have Wannamaker or even Langford out there on D. This would have eliminated the Lowry isolation but would have hurt on the offensive end. If Hayward where healthy I think BS does with a super small ball (Tatum,Brown,Hayward,Smart, Kemba) lineup for stretches. I also think we would have seen a struggling Kemba sitting some in crunch time and a Theis, Tatum, Hayward, Brown, Smart lineup would have eliminated the Lowry mismatch.
