In response to Mike Porter
No idea on Holland, but I will make some guesses. Brown getting healthy added a player to the mix, and at least for the last two games that has pushed Holland out. I do think we’ve happened to get two straight against opponents where the matchup on paper called for Smith at the 4. The problem I am having is that sometimes playing mismatches works, and I thought yesterday was a day to try a mismatch more. I guess the offense was running on all cylinders and Steve didn’t want to mess with that, but I would have liked to try a little more length on D (weird that Holland would be a “big” option at the 4) to see if we could get some more stops, particularly when we had the lead.
I will throw Holland into my recent comments on Thrower — the defense has gotten much, much worse as we have played both guys less. May be a coincidence and/or something that would be happening even if they were playing more.
