His rotations make ZERO sense.
Playing an "injured" Hali more minutes than a red hot Pascal last game made no sense.
He subbed out Pascal in the 4th quarter when the lead was cut to 2, and the Thunder pulled away with Siakam on the bench.
TJ was unstoppable in that 3rd quarter and didn't get to play in the 4th...
So many examples of how badly Rick has been outcoached here in these finals...
I didn't like him pulling TJ in game 6 either.
Carlisle has done some good things in this series and these playoffs. I think he's gotten better than prior years. Game 6 was his worst performance when it comes to rotations and adjustments. Daignault's had his share of that too so it's about even. Him pulling TJ, (Pascal needed some rest), and not putting TJ back in, and not using Pascal in the last 3-5 minutes of the game to me were the biggest mistakes of the entire series.
