Who would you have wanted in the game the last 5 minutes of the 4th quarter?

I saw a lot of people railing on Monty for not playing Asik, so I am curious as to who you would have put out there in the 4th quarter.

For reference, GS' lineup was:

Steph Curry
Klay Thompson
Shaun Livingston
Harrison Barnes
Draymond Green


I probably would have gone:
Norris Cole
Jrue Holliday
Tyreke Evans
Ryan Anderson
Anthony Davis

The better question is: what would your 5 be with 3 minutes left in the game and the Warriors inching back in and grabbing every rebound known to man?

Cole
Holiday
Davis
Ryno
Asik

I like that lineup, but you know Monty was worried about Hack-Asik or having him fouled on rebounds/inbounds.

I would've put Asik in there a lot earlier than that. Literally stopping 1-2 offensive rebounds was the difference in winning or losing last night.

You are worried about "hack-an-asik", but you also have to remember that we scored 19 points in the 4th quarter...not like our offense was moving at all. AD had 3 points, THREE points. A LOT of possessions came up empty. Asik does hit them at ~50%, 1pt somewhere along the line could have saved our arse.

That is very true, but at least he can give you a chance to be on offense. Even if he just makes one of two.

I don't know where else to put this so I'll throw it here. People bashed monty for throwing his guys under the bus by saying he told them to foul. I'm curious what the frick you'd have liked him to say?

Those people probably would want him to say that "we didn't execute" or "I'll have to look at the tape."

Something that is entirely trying to alleviate himself of any responsibility of what occurred. A leader owns the mistakes even if they aren't his. Instead, Monty decided to pull the ole "I told them to do it, and they didn't. It's not my fault" routine.

It was cowardly, and he could've said, "I didn't do a good enough job getting them on the right mindset in the case of the scenario that happened."

Monty was dumb for blaming the players about not fouling because that doesn't excuse his horrible coaching anyways.

The loss is completely on the coach. There was enough player production to easily win this game. Monty didn't make proper coaching adjustments at all and held the team back with the lineups.
