And as ridiculous as that was...we still didn't have to run Anderson at the point without D-Will. Put in Terry or Livingston instead.
Why the obsession with playing Anderson at PG? Why the obsession with Anderson at all? The guy is a career chucker, a poor man's Jamal Crawford/JR Smith...when he gets hot, he's worth playing. But when he goes cold, everyone in the building except for him realizes that he should stop shooting contested jumpers, and he just doesn't have the IQ to run a late-game offense.
As bad as Terry is at PG, I'd much rather have him play that role than Anderson.
Anderson was in the game until like the last 3 minutes, and then we went with Livingston/Terry. That was pure nonsense. If you have Pierce and Johnson out there, you don't need Anderson at all.
If Kidd and Nets don't trust Tyshawn, they should replace him with a cheap PG that can run an offense.
