You say leaving Thomas out there was a mistake and CBS got lucky. I say he did the right thing by noticing they weren't exploiting the match-up and leaving him out there... he was actually holding his own denying the ball.
I mean, let's think about what you are saying, CBS would have had to lose him mind temporarily to leave him out there because he pulls him every other game in those moments. So either you believe that or CBS made the correct call.
