Dennis Gates: "When I made the substitution with Marcus Allen, I had to stay with that group because they deserved it. They took the lead and kept it for a few possessions."
I figured he'd say something like that. I'm sorry, but that mentality is not going to get us where this team is capable of getting.
Yes, that lineup did a good job for a stretch. Awesome. Put them back on the bench, let your best players finish off the win and tell everyone in the locker room after the game how they turned the game around.
You don't lose a game like this without going with your optimal lineup because you want to reward guys. This isn't a non-con game in December.
My biggest issue is with Warrick being on the floor defensively at the end when we've heard all year how defense is what's keeping him out of games.
