It All Comes Down to Triano's Rotation in the 4th Quarter

I know his biggest supporter Doug Smith will defend him till the very end, but this dude can't coach in pressure situations in the NBA. No way David Anderson should be playing in the second half of any game. Kleiza single handily cost us the Sacramento game in the 4th. It purely comes down to coaching in the 4th and he doesn't have it.

The problem is that the Raptors have only one grinder and he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat. Because of this we're going to continue to see a lot of 4th quarter shootouts. That's always going to be a crap shoot, especially when you no longer have a dominate player to count on in the clutch.

Not much of a Triano defender but his starters were tired and they made a big run in
the 3rd.

He had to get them some rest so that requires depending on the bench for some quality minutes.....which they were unable to provide.

I kept wondering why he didn't get Bargnani out. he was riding a hot hand yes but get him out in the last two minutes of the third. They were playing at altitude.

He had little left in the fourth and by the time he got back the game had slipped away. Use the second unit sparingly when they are not bringing it keep the rotation to 7 or 8 guys in the fourth.

We need Ed Davis and maybe even Alabi because we do not have depth with the bigs. Anderson's little run appears to be running out of steam.

Marcus Banks should be dressing with the way our PG's are playing! He will defend and gives us another option when there is foul trouble (yesterday) or they are just shitting the bed like all season so far.
