This is why as I said if you manage timeouts, you can do all the offense/defense end of game subs you'd like. But straight up not having the guy who's sixth in the league in free throw attempts per game on the floor at the end of the game is....yeah. The other night was nice, but it was Charlotte, they of a 24-32 record. Expecting that strategy to work against actual playoff teams and the top 4-5 other teams in the East is wishful thinking. Casey has shown if a lineup is rolling, he'll stick with it. So if we see situations like that, we know he's not gonna force DeMar back in. Actively looking to keep DeMar out is pretty much asking to lose. Lowry as the only offensive option means primarily terrible, step back, fadeaway threes as the "offense". That's not winning either.
