Ollie's coaching

The only questions can be why he didn't take Brimah out (for at least a couple of minutes) once he got the fourth foul and why he didn't try to get a couple of minutes out of Olander before risking a second center fouling out once AB did foul out. Beyond that KO did a great job and was miles above Pastner (but to be fair JP is far from a mastermind when it comes to in-game coaching).

I don't think he really had a chance to take AB out unless he did it immediately or called a timeout. Amida committed # 5 on the next defensive possession.

I thought coach managed the game perfectly including using AB and PN even though they fouled out. One of these days soon we will catch a break, one less questionable foul will be called and our guys will commit one less boneheaded foul and then we will be real dangerous. Love their intensity though

It was OK to leave him in, I thought. Only about 4:30 left, we had two guys backing him up, and he isn't vital to our late game strategy. If he was a better straight up defender in the post he would be more vital. You're kinda already in crunch time at 4:30, so play it out and maximize his usage - be it 20 seconds or all 4:30. But you can make the case that the "play it out" cutoff should be a little later.
