When was the last time we made the championships before that season?

When was the last time we won a game in the Finals?

Which was the only team to beat the Celtics in game 7 in Boston?

There were many special moments in recent years - this season has just made them seem sooooo far away.

In Stans defense, look at the short slow unathletic pathetic team that Otis has assembled. You cant make lemonade with poop.

But he did have tall, fast, and young athletic players on the bench, but seeing as they stayed on the bench all season long, it's no surprise that he didn't trust them in this series.

They are a bunch of 2nd rounders that are really raw. Its just difficult to win while developing rookies. You try to develop rookies and you will lose more games. With this shorten season it was going to be really tough for the rookies.

What did I miss?

Stan didn't try to adjust anything major he thought with little tweaks we could do something.....When we didn't have Dwight i thought "Man we have to change the way we play" did we? nope same ole 2 step....jumper after jumper without fail.....i know i know.....otis....roster....blah...blah....but when you out there looking at our players exhausted and tired...when we have live fresh bodies on the bench that has speed and athleticism it makes you think where Stan's priorities lie......Stan basically chose experience over raw talent....that was our downfall.....

Pretty much every other coach in recent history shortens up his rotation in the postseason. Nothing new or revolutionary.

Yes. You expect them to shorten their rotation and play the guys who are the best on the team, and sadly, I don't care how long Duhon has played in the NBA, I would have gone with Ish. Miss or make, he would be the backup.

One good thing about losing is we won't have to play Miami. Indiana is going to get rocked.

Yeah, but J-Rich, Hedo, and Duhon are better than Ish, Wafer, and Liggins. . . Also, coaches shorten their rotations but they take the bad players out. . . We give ours more minutes. . .

The guys behind them aren't any better. Our roster is so ******* bad!!!

Reverse_Angle · Post #831 » by **Reverse_Angle** » Wed May 9, 2012 1:42 am

I don't get it. Our guys really fought hard, I mean really really hard. They just suck. When you have players that suck, you don't blame the coach or the players, you blame whomever put them together.

Duhon and Hedo need to leave the team, don't know how we will get rid of Hedo though. . .

Ryan Anderson is a very good role player who we will pay 13 mil :roll:

I'll put it up if DJ is too busy. I just don't want to overstep my boundaries.

I agree about Duhon --- not necessarily about Ish. Would have rather had Von in there.

Its pretty funny how the Indiana coach thinks his team is just the best. Can't wait to see his stupid face when they get blown out by the Heat. This might be the first and only time I'll root for them.
