The adjustment Rick made during the second half was to give Marion more run at PF, which allowed Dhantay Jones to play and guard Irving. That, combined with Rick giving Wright a shot at PF in the first half, is what resulted in Brand getting so little floor time tonight.

Rick, at this point, appears to have completely given up on Brand as a center. I assume he plans to give it another try when Dirk is back. I'll be curious to see how that goes.
