Ok, before I say what it is let me point out that during the season I was one of the biggest if not the biggest Doc haters in the league, however ever since halfway through the Cleveland series I believe he has done a great job coaching and I think hes finally learned how to coach in the playoffs.

Now onto my problem, last night in the 4th quarter LA started going on a run and Doc stuck with our lineup and didnt change it until the game was over. Now granted we won the game but does anyone think inserting a PJ Brown or Leon Powe for Posey or Ray wouldve helped? Just maybe making any move would help?

Nope. The team lost focus trying to run out the clock. Looked like they were going out of their way to try not to foul, leaving wide open shots. Down the stretch I'd rather have great foul shooting veterans like Ray and Pose rather than Leon or even PJ.

I agree in the last two minutes you do that but the collapse happened with about 6 or 5 minutes left, plus if there was no collapse u wouldnt need those foul shooters, in the end we still got the win and I guess thats what really matters

Agreed. We played, with a 24 point lead and 7 min left, the way a team usually plays with an 8 point lead and 2 min left.
