I am not saying I know for a dead solid fact that this is what went through his mind but this is a possible explanation.
He gambled that he was up 10 with 6 or 7 to play and that he would use BB and his remaining fouls (and Caseys perceived view at that time in the game that BB provided better defense vs Cousins than JV would have) to hold the Kings off and win the game with his defense. It didn't work. It didn't help that we racked up exactly 0 points in the last 3 minutes.
I don't think Dwane is going to explain in blunt terms to anyone what he was thinking and why. Its just not in his or most coaches make up to do so.
Just to say he is an idiot without looking at what might have been his reasoning to me is unfair and a jump to judgement without having all the facts at hand. It is entirely plausible that if we scored 12 more points instead of 8 and got a couple of stops the Raps might have won that game and his decision to play Biz for his defense pans out .. but they didn't get the points and Biz didn't close down Cousins. We lost. That sucked. But thats done and in the past.
Now we get to play the champs and see how we stack up against the best in the league. I think we do better than most expect us to tonight.
