Its not we exactly need him, either. Hollins was more than acceptable.

I think we could use Damp, opposed to nothing...
He'd at least possibly buy some time so Hollins wouldn't get in foul trouble so quickly because he is prone to getting major cheap fouls.

I think this definitely was an encouraging sign for Carlisle though. He was probably very hesitant to give Hollins minutes over the past few weeks, but when he was in a bind, Hollins manned up and came through in a big way.

Hollins biggest problem is his fouls. That's pretty obvious.

I trust Carlisle to give Hollins at least 20 minutes. I agree, it was nice to see him start Hollins and use him throughout the game (although Hollins's good play kinda forced the issue) where Carlisle could have resorted to smallball.
