It's Smarts coaching philosophy. Try out all your players and see if one has a hot hand, if they don't try someone else.

And, sometimes, when they do, any way.

I agree to a certain point and that ought to make you fall off whatever you are sitting on. The problem is that there are so many screw ups. He is learning how to coach and has now reached Div I college level.
IT has missed 9 times and not pulled. This coach has to have something against Jimmer. There is no other explanation.

yes once again he shot too many shots. he shot too many contested layups. and he played a lot worse than the box score indicates. he got 6 free throws off of 2 dumb 3 point attempts

They would need to go 11-23 the rest of the way. That's less than their current winning percentage.
Yup, Evans is gassed. Good thing we have tomorrow off. Oh, wait...

This team, as it is currently structured can be and should be the 8th playoff team in the West.
Right now, that team is Houston.
Let us compare:
Houston's five best lineup: Lin, Harden, Parsons, Patterson and Asik.
Sacramento's five best lineup: Tyreke, Thornton, Salmons, Thompson, Cousins
Reke vs. Lin? Reke wins.
Harden vs. Thornton? Harden wins.
Salmons vs. Parsons? Draw.
Patterson vs. Thompson? Thompson wins.
Asik vs. Cousins? Cousins wins.
That is 3-1-1 in favor of Sacramento. See why I say we should be the 8th playoff team? We aren't even taking into account a players like IT & Jimmer who can be quality bench players.

rudy gay scored 20 in his Raptors Debut and the Raptors beat the Clippers 98-73
Yeah, but only 11 of our remaining 34 games are against losing teams. And 5 of the 6 games we have against losing teams are on the road, 3 on the second night of a back-to-back.

again Thomas shot attempts are disgusting for a starting PG. he also got gifted 6pts on 2 bailout calls on 3s

ya pretty bad. out of that group only Tyreke and maybe Garcia(only because his defense helped the comeback) should have been on the floor.
basically this means that tonight there was 2 separate occasions where smart threw the game away with a dumb lineup.
easy win if it wasnt for the first 6 minutes of the 2nd and this group in the 4th

One problem of many.
Reke either plays all 24 2nd half mins, or about 12. There's no inbetween in Smart's mind.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Smart couldn't count from 12 to 24 without encountering a few problems.

Y'all are missing my point. I am talking about TALENT. A good coach can fix chemistry problems. Any coach in America would prefer talent over fitting pieces. Give me talent everyday. Sometimes you play three guards, sometimes you play two centers, sometimes you do weird lineups to focus on your strengths.
The point I am making is that coaching and maybe 1-2 moves to balance out our roster is all this team needs. This team hasn't had a formidable coach since Rick. And as we know, Rick was light-years ahead of just being formidable.
My point is that the talent in Sacramento is ahead of the talent in Houston.
Also, Cousins IS a star. Look at the talent, and even look at the numbers per 48. If Cuz got 40 minutes per game, he would pull in 20-12-3 in his sleep. Give Tyreke a coach that calls the occasional iso play for him and allows him to get 40+ minutes, he would be an 18-5-7 player. If Thompson ever found his way again, he is a solid 10-9 player. Maybe switch Salmons for Garcia depending on who compliments the lineup better. Heck, throw T-Rob in Thompson's place, at least you know he plays hard while he is in.
I guarantee if Doug Collins had this team (the Sixers coach), they would be at .500 right now. Philly is not a better team than Sacramento is handled correctly.

There was a little more to it than that. His sub of Cisco for JT flat worked and helped key things, and out of that same timeout IT became a passer for a few minutes for the only time of the game. Somebody must have said something.
Well, they were in Philly; Evans' posse may have threatened to meet him out back.
Speaking of which, if something happens to Smart after the 22nd, I may be in need of representation.

Interesting little note at the bottom of the yahoo story wrap up:
Course too late now, and that ship has already sailed. But interesting to hear Smart admit it, just in that it may go somewhat to where decisions like Hayes over Dalmebert and Robinson over Drummond were actually coming from.
