you mean the bench cut a double digit lead to 2

you call a play for JET who has sucked, when you have a hot Crawford and T-Will who weren't missing anything. Not only does Jet miss the shot, but he misses free throws.

I understand you pulling Shav out cuz of his nose. Why take Williams out when he contributed STRETCH offense (he was hitting js) and was also making Zbo's life miserable with blocks. Wilcox. I mean...really?

The point is that in 5 or so minutes, this lineup didn't just score points...THEY HELD THE GRIZZLIES TO JUST 5 POINTS.

SO THEY WERE ALSO PLAYING STELLAR DEFENSE!!

To say this is what coaches do...yes...this is what they do when they didn't already pull the plug on the game and have chances, etc. At the 7 minute mark everyone was ok with losing the game. Every Crawford and T-Will shot, the bench was just as dead as could be. No one believed, no one cared.

Doc began to overthink. He did. We had an opportunity. Williams made ALL his shots. Crawford made ALL his 4th quarter shots. To not call a play for the hot hand? To sit down the guy who's been bothering Z-bo?

I disagree. If you gave up the game at 7 minutes, let the bench play and prove something to you...because quite frankly, right now, you need them.
