The last few games it seems he's been subbing in Clingan just to rest Sanogo, not putting him in to give the offense a different look and force the other team to adjust.  Once Sanogo is rested, he's been putting him right back in regardless of how Clingan or the team is doing.  That is a complete waste, Clingan is too good to just hold the fort down.  Its weird because that's not how Hurley was using him in the earlier games, in fact, he seemed to be building him up to be 15+ mpg guy and running some offense through him when he was in there.

Don't know what has changed, but I think the pressure of being #2 and undefeated has gotten to him as much as maybe the team, tightening up and leaving/putting the starters in more even if its not working.  The strength of our depth isn't about having 4-5 bench guys who can come in and hold down the fort while the starters get a blow, its about have 4-5 guys who can significantly contribute.   He has used the bench masterfully in most games up until today, he just didn't trust them or himself today for some reason.
