I think I've stated my case Mad Dog.
Damn, if we can't criticize what we think went wrong, why even have this site?
But again, here you go:
* Beno played well last night, and should have seen more time when Parker was stinking it up.
* Horry was played too much by Pop and was gassed at the end of the game when we needed him fresh. Nazr played 2 minutes of the fourth, and Tmass, Rasho were DNP-CDs.
* Manu had 16 points in the first half. In his first 6 minutes of play in the third, he got TWO shots. Meanwhile Tony was working on his 0-6 shooting off the pick and roll. Is it so hard to think "hmm, maybe I need to run a play for Manu..."?
* When Tim starts missing FTs left and right, he loses all offensive confidence. Yet Pop keeps running plays for him and watching him alternate between bricks from the field and bricks from the FT line.
NOTE: I am not saying bench Tim. I am saying you've got four other guys on the court, it's okay to use them.
Manu got ed out for taking one three after coming off the bench. I never saw Pop try to reign in Tony. If he did, then I apologize for my rant. But he didn't call a timeout during all that fiasco in the third, and just let Tony throw up brick after brick.
Sometimes I go off on Pop more than I should, but tonight Pop let the game get out of his control in the third, and it cost us the game.
