The game slows down in the fourth quarter.

That's when you need some size.

They're keeping his stats looking good for when the C's trade him and Green to the Clips for Jordan! :P

But your right, could have used him.  Heck even Wright would have helped.

Um the team is tanking. Is this a serious question?

It definitely seemed like it today.

Yep, they let Sully play hero ball and he was 1-5 in the last four minutes.  He had a nice first half though.

They're not telling the coach to lose games.

The only thing I can think is that he wants spacing at the end of the game. Super puzzling why he would go small against Brooklyn though.

I think you are right.

The whole team shot poorly in the last five minutes. The problem is not that CBS chose Sully over someone else who was more capable to carry the team once the game slowed down. The problem is that we don't have someone more capable, other than maybe Green or Olynyk when they're having a hot shooting night. We need a go to scorer.

I just watched the game and asked the same question. Where was Zeller in the fourth?

Great question...It's ridiculous he wasn't playing the entire fourth quarter...He's really been playing well and deserves to be in the game when it counts the most...I'm getting sick of watching Sullinger and Green play hero ball in the fourth quarter...

bad move by CBS.  Zeller's shooting percentage is unreal.  We could of used his scoring late in the 4th

Smelled like a tank to me, too. Pulling Nelson seemed suspicious, since he appears to close out the half a lot... and had a solid game. He did start messing up tho, so replacing him made sense. But not with Smart over Bradley, esp after Smart started to turn the ball over and continued to get lit up by Jack.. who eventually buried us.

I think Stevens is in a bit of a panic.  He needs to just simplify EVERYTHING he and the team are doing but, like many really smart people, he's overthinking things.  Vogel and Pop did it in the playoffs two years ago when they left their centers on the bench for crucial plays that cost them against Miami.

Good point. After watching his post-game interview (hadn't seen a game in a long time) today, he seems to be a lot less comfortable answering Qs and his demeanor isn't the same. Seemed like he felt an obligation to defend all of his actions. He also seemed pretty lost, unsure of where to go next, but perhaps moreso because of the new roster changes.
