I dont think you understand the details of my point.
Sub in and sub out game could of been performed repeatedly after each whistle
Defense SB also the first priority
I understand offense-defense substitutions. It's hard to make them with 4 minutes left, because there aren't enough whistles and you're bound to get stuck with your defensive lineup when you absolutely need a basket. Remember, to sub you need (a) timeout, (b) foul, (c) out-of-bounds call.
When you give up over 100 points, you need defense. Smart and AB are capable to do big things on the defensive end. (Which carries momentum to the offensive end).Especially against two older guys like felton and Williams.
Anyways , it is what it is. Can't win them all.
