I'm guessing Locke will get a bunch of emails and address the tradition of riding the starters through all OTs. I don't recall any NBA game in which there were a lot of subs during OT.

Just a guess, the closers are the closers. It's their responsibility to close the game.

I think the Jazz would've been fine doing that had Ty not exhausted them in regulation. Remember when I said he left the starters in too long? They were gassed at the end of the 3rd quarter.

He'll never be a hero his time is over. He has 17 games left and will probably be in Europe the rest of his career.

Lol. He will get signed in the NBA. 100% sure.

So Harris and Hayward shot a combined 8/33. That's a nice line.

I was more disappointed we didn't reach 6 OT's, I wanted to set the modern day record.

Yeah but the loss is all CJ's and AL's fault.

You should just highlight Harris's night though. It was awful. He was missing shots he has been making the past 2 months. Wide open 3 after wide open 3 clanked.

I'm not buying that NBA players in the middle of March are severely affected by 1 or 2 more minutes in a game. Anyways that post was strictly about the non-subbing in OT. I could be wrong but I think it's a league wide practice. The closers stay in until the game is won, they foul out or are hurt.

Like I said, that's exactly what the Hawks coach did. That is what most coaches do from all the OT games I have seen. It may not be the right move, but it's the move I always see NBA coaches do.

i'm not saying sub the entire 5 but give certain players a 5 minute break especially when 2nd ot starts 2 nminutes on the bench does wonders.
big al was useless sure he had some offense but defense he was gassed give him 2 minutes gametime rest, call halfway through those 2 minutes a time out. by stalling big al could have gotten 5-6 minutes rest and missed 2 game minutes. bring him in and he is rested has more effort on d and we get his o. or isnt my strategy not making sense?
after al comes back in take cj or hayward out and put in burks sames trategy come 1 minute left you put starters back in

One thing I do believe in relation to minutes is that the Jazz will have a hard time coming out with energy tomorrow night after this 4OT game.

Fresh legs would have improved the team's chances.

I agree with Dutch and Norm.
