When the guy doing it is on a team as good as Chicago, that's a damn hard game to win. It's a gut-punch loss, but I'm impressed it was a 2 point game.
Also, Chicago definitely needs to move on from the D-Rose Era.
You should watch the game and then check back.
Cool if you still have same opinion.
But this was not a well executed game down the stretch.

5/5 against Carroll at this point.
6. Fast break bank shot on DeRozan, miss.
0/1 against DeMar.
7. ISO against Lowry(seriously, Lowry was the man on him all the way down the floor), layup, made.
1/1 against Lowry.
8. Drive on Joseph off a Gasol screen, missed jumper.
9. ISO against Joseph, pull-up, made.

2/3 against DeMar.
17. Drive on Carroll, floater made.
18. Pull-up over Carroll, missed.
19. Pull-up 3 over Carroll, made.
7/8 against Carroll.
So the question is, why was Carroll the guy guarding him on the last possession, given that he'd been torching Carroll the entire half?
All data pulled from nba.com movement charts.
I guess he thought 7/8... Odds are he misses one?
I honestly don't know.
Butler got unbelievably hot. I doubt the results would've been different, regardless of who was guarding him. We needed to take the ball out of his hands but we didn't and paid the price.

In such a close game, hard to justify not trying something different even if just for a possession or two of JJ. But it isn't surprising, because Casey has coached like this before (see playoffs last year vs Pierce). "Tried everything" except one of the better defenders on the team.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
