Definitely tougher to play guard in the playoffs as a rook because of the poise factor needed to not make a fool of yourself. |
There are other rookies playing in the PO's, specifically Julian Wright who has looked fantastic and Amir-esque at times.
Flip shouldn't be paying attention to the label "rookie" or what other teams are doing. Play your best avaliable talent (and play them in the 2nd half!)
edited to add;
As for Flip's coaching, i'll agree with bball don't lie, a B; make that a B-. Tay's min need to come down. AA needs to be playing back-up SF, and get time in the 2nd half (or Hermann needs a chance to see what he can do at SF). It wouldn't kill him to throw Amir in for a few minutes (could have done it when we had that lead in the 2nd quarter), and see what happens.
Also our late game situations/plays/offense still blows. We need better play-calling. And better time-management in the 2nd half rotations would help.
