PGT: MAVS fall to the Lakers/Refs (I hate OJ Mayo)

Fair point, feels like a long time ago though.

My observation is that he doesn't hesitate to sit Marion and Collison whenever he feels it could help the team, but is unable to adjust to bad performances of others (Vince/Mayo especially and Mike James).

All three were horrible yesterday, yet combined for 35% of the teams minutes. Include Collison and the four worst players got nearly 50% of the floor time. Simply put, that's how you lose games.

I'm not sure myself if I would have thrown in Roddy yesterday against a quality opponent only because the other PGs struggled, but I guess a coach labeled "not afraid mixing it up" should do that without hesitation.

As there is some discussion about Mayos playoff/lottery splits, I dug up some numbers from my DB:

Opp		FG%		3FG%	AST_TOV	PER		WS48	WP48	+/- (Per 100 Poss)
vs. Lottery	48.48%	49.58%	1.95		17.60		0.151	0.202	+1.40
vs. Playoff	42.69%	33.33%	1.36		13.08	0.014	0.070	-5.56

I mean that's some major drop-off in every category.
