in hindsight im glad he left francis with more than 6 mins left in the game....but what happens if he picks up a cheap foul? i was hoping he would sit him for a couple of mins,,,any thoughts...... im pretty sure francis also had something to do with it
I really wanna know his logic for not doubling Shaq in the crucial minutes of the game... That was simply inexcusable!!
He did this because it was crucial. The Lakers were coming back. Thats why we went to Mo T everytime down the court and Francis was told to get on the far wing so he couldn't pick up no cheap offensive fouls. If you notice, on a couple plays he was seen guarding Fox instead of Fisher or Kobe. Posey/Cat took turns guarding Kobe/Fisher. Larry figured it was now or never. Besides, Steve wanted to be in. If Moochie would've went in, oh man. We would've lost by double digits. Trust me. Actually, I wanted to see Tito come in instead of Moochie. Can he actually be much worse?
When we doubled Shaq in the crucial minutes, Fox nailed a three. The Lakers have a lot of good shooters, so that may be the reason.
i guess we could aslo argue for a back up PG that we wouldnt mind putting in the game for a couple of mins w/o worrying about losing the game bc he is in damn mocchie did stink up the joint yest
I was suprised to see Ming check in at the defensive end in the last minute. He was killed by Shaq, at least Cato could have kept his groud a little bit better and make Shaq "try" a little bit harder for an easy bucket. Mr. Mean looks like he could turn out to be a great coach, I guess it will just take little things like this, so he can learn from his mistakes.
