    Last play, need one stop to end the game or go into OT, why not put in both Asik and Howard? No need to worry about offense at that point

    In a situation like that no, you want more speed IMO

    Depends on the matchups. If we were going against team like Memphis or SA, of course....but a team with stretch fours and athletic fours, never.

    Definitely not tonight with Nene and Gortat fouled out. No one for Asik to guard, Dwight was in good position, Parsons just fouled Wall.

    With them both in, and if they were playing well/had a good chance of getting the ball, then yes.

    Against Memphis for sure. Not all the time because we need to be able to speed the game up. However when we struggled to push the pace we may need to go big just to try and out defend them for stretches.

    Didn't you see the TT experiment fail miserably earlier in the season? Perhaps for one possession on a select few lineups, but no.

    We should have put DMo in earlier in the 4th.
