Eddie should put The Live Wire in for late game defensive situations. I'd prefer him over most of those guys.

Deshawn probably shouldn't play but I suspect if he's even capable of walking, he'll go out on the floor just to preserve his consecutive games streak.

I don't really have a problem with it. Deshawn's streak is admirable (and absolutely incredible given that he has maintained in the face of the the Curse); but if he's less than 80% of his normal self, EJ should pull him pretty quick. I'd prefer a healthy Mason/Young playing at 100% rather than a hobbled Stevenson playing at 80%.

Co-sign. DeShawn had no doubt sunk some coin in club rental desposit, DJ fee, etc., to plan the party. The show must go on.

Now, if he was pulling a Vince Carter and doing a one-legged butterfly on his gimpy ankle, then I'd be a bit more concerned.

OK

my bad on the defender of Sessions

Whoever it was, I still feel they erred in drifting off their
man, or if they were going to double, they should have
used an angle that would have precluded the kind of direct
pass that Sessions got. But I don't think doubling was the right
thing anyway. He didn't have time to get there, but by leaving
he created the opportunity that lost the game for us.

Brendan could have handled Bogut in that situation on his own.
If Bogut hits the shot, well at least it was against our best defender
as opposed to a guy hitting a shot with no defender. Too easy.

Totally agree. No arguing it really. Who wouldn't rather have every player covered for 1.1 seconds instead of having one wide open. Gil should have in no way been playing in between. Everyone needed to be on a man.

A side note. The player that inbounded the ball did an awesome job on I think it was CB. If you watch the video, after a few seconds, CB drifts toward the half court and waves his arms only there is no MIL player running across the top of the key that far out.

The MIL player must have known he wanted to go inside and I'm guessing opened the passing lane by looking CB off like a QB does to a DB. Once CB move toward half court the passing lane opened up and CB couldn't get back before the pass was made.

I'm not playing CB because he doesn't have eyes in the back of his head.
But I'm crediting the MIL player for a vet move looking him off even when there wasn't a player up court to pass to.
