Yes, that's why they blew the 10 point lead with 50 seconds left.

Because they had to start Lamar Stevens.

Nailed it.

Talk about cope..........
I mean the have to start someone at SF. Wade's injured, again. LeVert? Okoro? Stevens? Take your pick. We scored 105 points in regulation, against the Hornets.

If watched that whole entire game and you came away thinking "welp, nothing we can do up 10 with 50 seconds left because we're starting Lamar Stevens" then there's nothing to discuss here.

Forget the hole at SF. The game was won and over with and our coach completely shat all over himself with his defensive calls on out of bounds plays.

His refusal to play switching defense, even with 3 seconds left on the clock and up 3, is fucking terrible coaching. He's bad.

What makes this really egregious is we actually have some personnel to switch. Allen is usually a drop big but one of the better bigs on the perimeter in the NBA. Mobley we already know. Levert, Stevens, Wade (when healthy) can all slide up and down a few spots. Even Mitchell can cover taller guys for a few seconds due to his long arms...better than Okoro did today for sure.

I mean it was gonna be Evan Mobley switching onto tiny ass Rozier pinned to the corner with 3 seconds left. What's he gonna do? Game is over if they just switch.

Or they pass it out to Washington he tries to hoist a turn around 30 footer with Okoro on him. If he makes that, ok, fine. Better than their guy who is super hot, their best player, getting an open corner look....

Agree. Just horrible scheming. JBB has some strong points as a coach, but any type of tactical decision making is just as easily done by rolling a d20 to call your offensive and defensive plays

Well the game doesn't go to overtime if you score even 106 points. Aside from that, Mobley's defense on Rozier, which I'm fairly certain was the result of a switch, is the only reason there was a second overtime. Finally, surrendering a 10 point lead with 50 seconds left, and I haven't checked on the accuracy, is rarely the result of coaching.

Players play.

Remarkable.
 
Rather have Mike Brown back for a 3rd time than him as coach. This man will burn out all of the starters and they will get injured by the 2nd half of the season. He's a shit X&O coach so he's overplaying his best players.

amazing that people forget that Mobley isn't the big to switch your guards on LOL.
