You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to aybars again.
 
Just watched the game.

Well, it's obvious that Ty Corbin lost this one.

A very winnable game, but damn, put some Favors and Burks in the game.

With 5 mins to go in 4th Q it was already a mistake to go with 1st lineup. And yes, they missed 6 offensive possession in a row.

Well, let's wait until he will learn something.. 2-3 seasons..
 
On the bright side folks, OKC beat Miami. Hammered them pretty good.

Anyone think that OKC with homecourt advantage could beat Miami in the championship?
 
And Sloan had two Hall of Famers/top 50 players to hitch a ride to who helped him hide his in-game ineptitude for nearly 20 years. He was a good motivator and probably a good teacher, but a poor game manager and not a particularly good player developer; Stock, Malone, and more recently Millsap were primarily products of their own motivation. By contrast, see Gregg Popovich. Just sayin'.

Cue the violins; blame it on the refs. Who's asking "Jeffy" to be a Hall of Famer? Just asking for enough aggressiveness to draw some fouls and enough defense not to be a liability.

Oh, and just asking for a coach to identify the best rotation on a given night and then play them. Yesterday, the best rotation wasn't playing Kanter, Favors, and Carroll together in the second quarter (and it often isn't). And it wasn't to play almost exclusively Millsap and Jefferson at the 4-5 spots during extended time, especially when Favors and Kanter had shown the ability to play well in the clutch.

Best strategy was (and usually is) to pair Jefferson or Millsap with one of the young bigs for large portions of the game. In Q1 the young bigs didn't come in until 2 minutes left; in Q3, until 1 minute left. And Teague sat down with 3 minutes left, leaving the opportunity for Tinsley to run with Hinrich.

Just sayin'.

I loved Sloan but I think Phil Jackson would have one six rings with Karl and john same for pops just better strategists

Jody Genessy: Why Corbin didn't sub in OTs: "It's tough to come in those situations after being out, be ready to go. I thought they were fresh enough."
Did they need deodorant or something? For heavens sake Ty....

Guess he did not see Big Al on the bench huffing and puffing like a man who just ran 20 wind sprints. And I guess he did not see Sap stumbling around trying to shoot.

In fairness, I see coaches do this all the time, over-relying on their starters even though there starters are totally out of gas. It would have been very interesting to see what would have happened had Ty subbed all the starter at the beginning of any one of the OTs for 2 or 3 minutes.

And the bigger worry here is the lingering effects: does this lead to a worn out team losing more games? Injuries?
