    Why the hell didn't Phil put Bynum in on that last inbound? Really can't help but think he would have been the difference maker in the paint last night, and easily could have prevented that tip in from Dyess. I was on the Spurs so I really don't care much, but it is curious to me, as he is one of the greatest coaches ever, and I truly think this was a mistake.

    Yeah, but the Lakers just happen to be in that position last night with a few key shots. The Spurs should have won by about 5, instead of 1... And I'm sure the Lakers would take that play over and over again, mcdyess was just in the right place at the right time. You can't really plan for a lucky tip...

      excellent point.

      Bynum under basket is an LA win.

      huge oversight by dr. phil

        Absolutely. Don't understand it at all, how he wouldn't go big in the paint.

          I'm only speaking about the last inbound at 4.6 seconds. No way should Bynum have been on the bench in a spot like that.

            The last 11.8 seconds of that game stunk all the way to high heaven if you ask me. The only logic I can see is the Spurs was just "meant to win" that game.

              I'd say FTs if I had to understand what that fukk was thinking.

                it's odd... i watched that replay like 6 times.. and it never occurred to me until you said it...
                why did not a single announcer catch it?!.. right?

                very good observation..

                  The only thing I heard an announcer say was "I'd imagine they're going to put Bynum in now", prior to the inbound at 4.6 left. Then when they didn't, I was completely shocked. Maybe they felt like they needed speed to protect the perimeter, but I honestly feel that was a mistake, and protecting penetration and 2nd chance points in the paint was way more important. It's not like they will turn completely inept at guarding the perim without Ron out there or whoever they chose to sub out. Personally feel like Fisher, Kobe, Odom, Gasol, Bynum, would have been the ideal 5 to have out there for that last sequence.
