To be fair though, it is why you don’t pull starters in at 8, 7, 6 or 5 minutes. NBA teams can go on massive runs in 5 minutes. Unless you’re up 30 or more and the other coach has pulled all their best players, you don’t pull all your starters at 6 minutes w a 20 point lead.That last 3 minutes is going to convince JBB to keep playing his starters too long in games like this.
What JBB did tonight was pull Mitchell first and let Garland, who barely broke a sweat in the first half manage thing until it hit about 2.5-3 minutes left
