I'm right there with you. I've been a fan of Jeff but his rotations are unacceptable. I'll be the 100th person to say it.. keif shouldn't be playing a **** minute.
I honestly cannot believe that there is any chance Kieff would be playing if it wasn't an order. But he really didn't need to be in there at the end.
Regardless of all that, we almost always look like a decent team for 3 qtrs, but in the 4th, we fold. To me, that's more on the players than the coach. Rotations could certainly improve, but why are the rotations working for 3 1/2 quarters? These guys just have ZERO clutch factor. The ONE guy who had some, hates being in Phx and doesn't give a crap.
I want to say we should have had Booker, Telly, etc in there at the end (and I think we should have) but I also can back up and realize they typically hit huge shots against scrubs in non crucial times. But nonetheless, I think at this point, Horny just needs to tell Bledsoe to give it up to an open Booker or possibly Knight for the last shot. This dribble down the clock thing playing Kobe is really making me not like Bledsoe. I DESPISE that style of play. And I can say for a fact there is no coach out there that says "hey, don't involve your teammates, but dribble it down and then take a shot" unless you are up by one, it is a qtr and not end of game, etc.
