Doc should have played bench

[KeepBigAl]

One thing to understand about doc - he is a great "players" coach, gets the players to play for him, buy into the system, each other, ubunto, etc

He has never shown the ability to make great in-game adjustments when the game plan is not working, exploit unforeseen matchups coming from foul trouble, timely substitutions, etc

He is a "stick to what got us here" guy...unfortunatley, when it's game 7 and that isn't working, then he is going to stick with it all summer long when watching the playoffs from home.


-He stuck with way Eddie too long. He should not be playing 17 mins in a game shooting 1-3..especially when our defense was awful. We all know TAs limitations, but he could have guarded playes on the perimeter, while giving as much as Eddie did on offense...

-Lewis was a major matchup problem for Baby and Scal. We needed to throw some different looks at him for short spirts all series, just to keep him off balance, rather than  make life so easy.

-Rondo needed to play some with the second unit. Howard was in his head towards the end of the series (how many times did he penitrate and stop in no mans land in the key) Fatigue is not a big issue for him, and he could have gone back to causing havoc when Howard was out.

Now I am supposed to believe that Gortat,Battie and Anthony Johnson are head and shoulders above Mikki, Walker & Tony. I'm sorry I just do not think that.

They are.  Tony is a turnover machine.  Mikki is a fouling coat rack.  Walker is still very shaky, which is why he's only in when we're up by 50.

If Orlando was down double digits in the 4th quarter, they wouldn't have played their bench either.  If you're going to lose, you need to lose with your best players on the court.

yea, thats pretty much true man. Mikki, walker and tony aren't that good, that was a weakness all year. They are certainly not as good as AJ, tony and the polish hammer.
