I think you ride or die with the guys who got you here. Hopefully Beasley snaps outa it, but I don't think going away from him is right.catari11 wrote:JB should have Beasely and THR on a short leash. If they're on from 3, try Fontecchio or Sasser. Couldn't hurt. Tec at least plays good D and rebounds. This whole series has a "what if" quality to it. Had Stew and Ivey been available, Pistons might've take this series in 6. Still, like most folks I can't complain given the vast improvement over last year. What remains to be seen is whether Trajan is ready to do what needs to be done: over the summer acquire an upgrade at the PF position, preferably a solid three point shooter and rebounder.
Tech hasn't worked in this system all year. An elimination game isn't the time to revisit that.
Sasser is a little more tempting as another guy capable of being a bucket. Sometimes that feels bad because he also stagnates the offense, so while he's rolling the team overall feels marginal at best. Still, I can see *some* benefit if we are struggling to score. But if that's the position we find ourselves in then we're probably already in big trouble.
