Its not all his fault, (vinny) but, he has a share of the blame. He let two quarters go last night, the second and the third without making needed adjustments to what Skiles was doing! I like Skiles as a coach. Always have.

Yeah, it was a fatigue play. Hinrich played the entire second half, and from about the 10 minute mark in the second quarter on. Just like Deng faded at the end of games early in the season, Hinrich faded in this one. Tired players make dumb decisions. Another Vinny mistake. None of these guys are 40+ minute per night players. Even Phil Jackson took Jordan out for about two minutes at the end of the third/beginning of the fourth in big games.
fatigue play...I think that is why many of our players got hurt as well. The core has played a hell of a lot of minutes. It shows going down the stretch. Besides some big time stars this summer, we need quality depth as well.
