We know that now.  I said "[U]on paper[/U] this should have been a much better team".

Carlos was all conf defense in his league. Davis could have been better in spot duty, relieving Freeman. Taylor was insurance for Bell not playing defense or rebounding.

But then of course, he refused to play guys for big chunks of the season who could have helped. He relied on the wrong guys to play the whole damn game and failed to properly use his bench.

I've said it 100 times.  NONE of these guys are good enough to play 36 minutes a game.  They ALL have big holes in their games.  That's where GOOD coaches rotate players based on match-ups, and try to get the best of what each guy has to offer.

For goodness' sake, he went 2/3 of the season without any kind of regular rotation, and the players just checked out on him.  It's not because they all suck, as everyone likes to say.  They just played a bubble team to the wire on their home floor.  They didn't lose by 20.
