re: Why take out Dean to start 2nd half

quote:

Often it’s not about who starts, but who finishes. You could argue a fresh Dean down the stretch was better than letting him start the second half.

But who knows? Dean wasn’t going to play the whole game.

It still doesn't answer to rotation question.

You're right, no one knows for sure the outcome, but getting him extra rest for the under 8 in 1st and halftime rest and not playing the first almost 8 minutes of the 2nd easily questions my opinion of whether CoachMc understands game flow. Outside of some in-game posters, no one was expecting Dean to play 40 minutes.

But be honest here.
