The effort to involve RJ was great, and he's telling Hill exactly what he needs to hear (get to the rim). The only problem I had with tonight's game was early in the fourth quarter when the Hill-Mason-RJ-Blair-Bonner group was allowed to struggle for a minute or two too long. The lead was diminished, and it left a tougher job for our stars during the closeout.
The only explanations I can come up for the decision are that he either 1.) had a set time for when he wanted to bring the big 3 back in, and wasn't going to deviate; or, 2.) wanted to make a point that defense is the most important part of our gameplan, and left that lineup out their to struggle a bit to show the need for improvement.
