No
With and without injuries, Carlisle's rotations have left a lot to be desired. He gave up on a Kaman/Brand front court after 1 preseason game but starts with the Dirk/Kaman one which has a DRTG of 120 in 40 minutes.
Last night, NO had a backcourt of Grevis/Rivers and Mavs countered with Roddy/Dahntay. Why not switch defensively if you weren't going to send trap for Grevis?
Yes, the players have underperformed but so has Carlisle. A coach has to play players to their strengths.
