[QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 2059320, member: 37"] I take a stance somewhere between you and [USER=7272]@chiller99.5[/USER]. KO has been using AB as a defensive stopper during this recent run. He's been putting in AB at the end of games to eliminate some of the opposing teams ability to drive to the basket and score particularly because by the ends of games the guards are getting tired or are in foul trouble. It's a decent strategy in spite of AB's limitations because Steve is the polar opposite. He doesn't move his feet when players drive to the hoop resulting in either a foul or allowing the players to get around him and make an easy shot. So I don't agree with people who want Steve in at the end of games based on this game. But in the Houston game it was obvious, as you pointed out, that Amida was completely unable to do any observable thing. It was his worst game and I, like you, felt KO was hoping beyond hope Amida would turn things around. That might have been bad coaching imo. But it is just an opinion. See the next paragraph. The technical was inexcusable. Now all of us can only state that leaving in Amida was a disaster. What none of us can know for certain is that putting in Steve would have resulted in a better outcome. It may have even been worse because players like Grey and Dotson might have done even more damage at the end of this game by driving to the hoop once Kentan and Rodney picked up four fouls. We can't be certain about how much Amida's presence in the paint eliminated some of this. [/QUOTE]
