    Well, i mean....i hate to interject again, but thats not really his fault, there was no other way to win with the roster we had. It was the Warriors, and we did not have our second best player. It is what it is. HIgh variance and all

    I think I saw Melo on there 3X (2X with GS ;0 and once with 76ers).... he is destined to be a Rox

    Highly subjective. I'm actually agreeing with you: going out with the same rotation and strategy minus Chris Paul was an almost certain loss 2 times in a row. IMO even the best team of all time will lose some games they are heavy favorites to win. In those games in our situation, I would have opted to yell at Green and Ryno to take lots of shots and hope they happen to be hot for 1 of 2 games rather than pushing my exhausted rotation into the ground emphasizing more shooting of a type of shot (3pt shot) that is known to be heavily affected by fatigue. In my eyes, 0 for 27 wasn't a fluke, it was a logical certainty that we would head into some sort of historic fatigue-related problem be it injuries or poor 3pt and FT shooting. It so happens we faced all 3 of those and that to me is a pattern not a coincidence.

    Hmmm, yea I think I'll agree you. MDA should have some adjustments. But just so we are clear, your solution wasnt more mid range shots, yea? lol

    Don't forget the hamstring. . .NOT MDA's fault either.
    He got us to where we needed to be. Put GSW in the crosshairs and even had them on the ropes.
    But, other factors intervened.
