Why not put in Brewer (or Garcia) for the last defensive possession of the game?

That was a Broken Lucky play after a pretty solid defensive stand to force a pass that should have been stolen.. This game was won if only Jeremy jumped for the ball to steal it. Even if he didn't get the ball, he had inside position and would have been fouled by Anderson. Jeremy just let Anderson get the ball.. you know the rest.

 

Pathetic coach does not understand defense/offense substitutions in game.

brewer should have been on Anderson

 

Are you guys seriously bi***ing about one play??? We had numerous issues throughout the game, don't place the blame on a well defended lucky shot

 

I agree. We should have sat Parsons. He made some bad plays. He couldn't defend his man.
And Lin couldn't't defend Anderson but he had a disadvantage Anderson is like 6'6" or so. and that last 3 by him Jeremy should have tried to go for the pass it was so high that he had time to jump and at least get it out. or fight for it.

And i thought he should have just foul him before he had a chance to shoot. It was a Deja vu from last game. We should foul next time. 2 shots and we get the ball to shoot free throws. We put in Brooks and take out Howard.

 

it hasn't been just one play we know that but we had been getting burn this ass last 4 games. We were lucy against Toronto

 

The play was defended perfectly you can't blame the defense on that last play, sorry you just can't. Anderson made a contested shot and there is nothing you can do about that.

 

passed*

and to add. We had had the lead and lost it on the last few minutes of play. too

 

Because you ride it with the players who've been giving you 100% all night. I actually don't disagree with McHale sticking with his guys for the very last play.

I have problem with him not using a deeper rotation, and not fouling when the Rox were up 3 and Philly got the ball with less than 20 seconds.

 

u can't? U put a bigger guy at least Garcia or Brewer are taller. Shooting against someone shorter is always and advantage. and Lin just followed him w his hand raise but that pass was catchable. i saw it like 2 time on ballstreams. You could have at least let anyone else but the hot hand beat u.

 

Not disagreeing with what you said, but we should be more bothered by the context. The fact that we are complaining about a late game decision in a close game against the 76ers is disturbing.

It turns out that first game where we couldn't pull away from the Charlotte Bobcats was a good indicator instead of an anomaly.

We are not very good right now. Changes need to be made.

 

Yep I agree with you it was mostly Parsons fault.
Lin did have a lot of turn overs last half but Parsons has been bad lately.

 

You can blame the defense on that shot. Doesn't matter well defended or not, Anderson is still 3 inch taller and probably more than half foot taller with his long arms. Lin should've gone for the steal and who cares if he fouls Anderson. and McHale should've never put Lin on Anderson in the first place. Should have switched Bev and Lin's assignments. 1 mismatch is better than 2. Also should've took Howard out on that last play or let him guard perimeter since he's quick enough. There is absolutely no point to have inside pressure. Basically McHale didn't know what he was doing.

 

lol wtf, where did he say it was parson's fault?

Each individual made bad decisions, no one gets off without blame for our performance.

 

It's easy to point to singular plays and pin that as the reason why we lost. How about Parsons going 1-2 at the free throw line before the end of regulation? He hits that and Bev gets his 2 in and we are leading with 4 points not just 3. Jesus.

 

I never said he said that about Parsons. I agree it wasn't just one single play. I just said Parsons has play really awful

 

I totally agree with u there. I don't know why Lin didn't just jump for the ball it was 50/50 ball and Lin had a chance. And at least a foul which would have given them 2 free throws and the ball to us again.
