So on Wednesday, will he play the bench extensively, or will he back off from that and start the destruction. It seems such a simple choice. Play the bench a lot, and win in the playoffs with a capable bench, and rested starters. Or go out in the first rounds by burning out your starters and having an incapable bench for it not playing enough. Seems simple, but who knows what drives Flip Saunders toward failure? Why will he not choose to win? All we can hope for is that he changes. That he actually starts looking forward to winning in the playoffs and looks at every game the same way. A step toward preparing for the playoffs. Like I said, I will give Flip a pass for tonight cause the youngsters did play a lot yesterday. But tonight can not get repeated very often. |
Lee, please. I loved the recap, but not the melodrama. Like you said, we won back-to-backs on the road against two quality opponents while plaing the bench plenty. Let's not pile on Flip because he MIGHT start doing things wrong, give him credit where it's due and at least wait until he does mess up to crucify him for it.
