I got in from work at the start of the third and saw Haywood score 8 straight points.
They built a 12 point lead and then EJ subs Haywood out and doesn't bring him back through 2 timeouts and 9 minutes of play and this game's about lost now.
The instant he made that substitution Philly went on a run.
Haywood had been dominating and he sat him and thats when the game went totally downhill.
HOW MANY GAMES WILL EJ LOSE THE SAME WAY?

I don't see where the loss is just coaching. When you have veteran guards that can make simple passes against a team overplaying. You have one guard in Mason that's scared to shoot or do anything. I don't think that means throw in Young, who is a turnover machine against a gambling defense like that. It was plain and simple choke job-with or without Caron. That was the worst stretch I've seen the team play all year and it figure the damn CSN+ would come back on for the last 1 1/2 quarters.

I didnt say it was just on coach.
I said coaching as much as anything else. He should have Haywood back in the game before Philly went on a 16-2 run.

every other team in the league is making improvements and changing things...when are we going to do the same? are we happy with being average every year? are we happy burning our stars out so at the end of the year they have nothing in the tank left? this loss was disgraceful and i think we're gonna see the ultimate breakdown over the next few weeks.
