I dont mind having Biz in there at the end of the game vs the knicks but without question Haywood should have been in there as well....Gordon should have been taken out...especially after the turnovers and the bad shots....they were killing us on the boards in the last few minutes so Dunlap should have adjusted and went big ..a lineup of Kemba / Hendo/Taylor / MKG / Biz / Haywood should have been the lineup....if we do that i have no question that we win the game...and same goes for Portland game..they killed us on the boards especially offensive boards in the 4th...yet Dunlap continued to stay with small lineup....hard to blame alot on Gordon...he has been in the league long enough for a coach to know his game...yea he played great for us in both games but he shouldnt be in there at the end...he is too erratic
Dunlap has made some bad moves in past few games...the 1 that really killed us was having Gordon inbound the ball (when he got the 5 second call )...but Gordon should have called a timeout....and another horrible call was not telling the team that we had a foul to give when JR Smith had the ball...could have changed the finish..he has also had some horrible rotations and late game lineups...and way too many times have we came out of a timout only to make a horrible play and turn the ball over...it makes you wonder what exctly is Dunlap doing in those timeouts....i really like him as a coach and i know he is learning the nba game and our roster but he has been a big reason for 3-4 of our losses....and to his credit he takes credit for his mistakes
Now back to Gordon...the guy has been playing lights out lately...averaging somewhere around 22 points in the last 4....i definately like him here and we will get alot for him..either this yr or next...but he needs t be in the game during the 1st-3rd quarters....not in crunch time
