I can't believe that some of you are advocating Mike Brown leaving TT in the game, dead ball, up two points, 25.3 on the clock.
This is why Mike Brown is a horrible coach who's in over his head. Take TT out the game and put you 5 best shooters in. You don't play the what if's in that situation. Give the ball to one of your best FT shooters.
Would Doc have DeAndre Jordan on the floor in that situation? Would Phil Jackson put Shaq in in that situation. Maybe Larry Brown would have put Ben Wallace in to take the FT for the Pistons in 04. Mike Brown can't manage the rotations, he sucks at in game adjustments, can't develop young players and he's not a motivator. Remember when he called two timeouts and we had to inbund the ball to Earl Clark because we didn't have anymore timeouts? Once again Mike Brown sets up up to fail and there is no excuse for this bullshit.
And you can't sit here and say "well at least we still won the game" No that's hogwash. Good teams and good coaches will take advantage of us in those situations. The Lakers are a bad team but I dare you to try this shit against a playoff team, something we're trying to be.
