I found that hilarious. I think he was trying to hear what the defense was planning, and mess up any focus they had on that play. It worked, too. Evans got really annoyed and ended up switching to help Miller on the mismatch too late, unfortunately Rasheed overshot the ball a bit.

I often disagree with what you say, but here is a gem - I'm not annoyed that AA or AJ didn't play per se, but why did Flip go with a rotation that he had never even used in the regular season? Or at least, that he had never used with any success???

Lee, I think Max would be able to watch it the whole fifth time if he took more rest during the previous four times, like you do.

That's another phrase to add to my list of words that make me queasy when used in a sports context:
penetration
jacking up
