The sanctions have been a great disguise, the biggest issue has been the major whiffs on the recruiting trail in unison with the unforeseen early departures. JB's
'wheelhouse' his entire coaching career has been playing 7 guys, that's his comfort zone. We could have 10 Mickey D's on our roster, he'd still choose to play 7 for "real" minutes in the game.
The sanctions disguise is similar to saying how the GS Warriors have a great defense. What a joke. The Cavs had 113 points in game 3 with 3:08 left in the game prior to choking down the stretch being outscored 11-0. Game 4 they broke all kinds of scoring, shooting percentage records, etc. in route to scoring 133 points. In game 5 yesterday, they had 120 points in defeat, that's with that horrible offensive drought they had in the 2nd Q when being up 8 to down 17 in a 5-6 minute span. Those offensive woes had everything to do with Lue's egigmatic substitution pattern during that stretch more than GS's alleged stellar D...but I digress.
