MDA wasn't stubborn... Dekker played tonight Seriously though, I think the Harrell situation goes beyond the court.
How can you justify changing your whole rotation after your BACK UP center goes down? MDA had the stomach to watch $20million man Ryan Anderson continuously vomit all over himself in these playoffs but couldn't stand to see Harrell at all? You put your PG on Aldridge in the post? You stare comatose at the court while your team is choking up the season without showing any fire from the sideline? I'm sorry but MDA choked as bad as the rest of the squad in this series.
Meanwhile McHale showed his steely resolve of 3-time championship experience during a 2nd round game 6 facing elimination that was going much the same way by experimenting with the line up and benching a runner-up MVP candidate. The parallels of that whole thing make me laugh.
