But you have to know the situation and what we're missing. Up 20 and giving up way too many second chance points. We need our big guy on the court. It's a much tougher decision to make than we make it out to be, but that's where you put your trust in your head coach. Did he make the right call keeping Asik on the bench? We'll never know, but I like our chances with him on the court limiting their second chance opportunities.

1 they prob would have hacked Asik

2 it all happened so quick. It wasn't like it was a progressive thing. They got a bunch of rebounds in a quick flurry and next thing you know the lead was to 6. That really wasn't the time to put Asik in, imo. With the way our offense had played up until that point, I'm pretty sure that Monty's mindset was that we will answer, and that they didnt have enough time in the game to make a comeback if we did that.

Again, you like ourchances with Asik guarding Draymond Green? It would either be layups or wide open 3s the entire 4th quarter.

And while I know in hindsight we stunk offensively, we have been pitiful on offense with Asik in the game in this series, especially AD, but AD has been out of this world type good with Asik out. Hindsight.
