He has done some things that fans have suggested, but from where I'm sitting--having observed him for decades like you--it is merely a [I]coincidence [/I]and not a [I]consequence [/I]of fans noticing some of the variables he has to deal with, which he is fully aware of.

Fans like to think that Jim's been oblivious to the value of Kadary and Jesse and Robert. That's crazy talk. He knows better than anyone else what their abilities are as well as the mistakes they are prone to.

Whenever Jim's faced a choice between a starter who's struggling on the court vs. a backup who "might be the answer", he always places the greater weight on experience, having seen far too often the less experienced player commit crucial turnovers. Especially earlier in the season, when they still have a lot to learn.

Is that evaluation 'bias' gonna fail you sometimes? Of course. But Jim's quite aware that by relying primarily on experience whenever the game's on the line, he's been generally successful in developing his teams over the course of a season...

As we are seeing once again...
