[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 1060235, member: 17953"] Gard was the one that put the ball in Tonje's hands for the final shot. He called for him to be the shooter instead of determining what they could do to create an open shot. He essentially admitted that's what he did in his post-game interview, so Tonje actually did what he was asked to do. The problem is that doesn't work and hasn't worked all season. Every time he draws it up that way Tonje ends up in a crowd and it's a wild shot. Gard has to realize that no matter how good the guy is when you're battling double coverage your chances of making the shot go down very quickly. Tonje never looked to Klesmit because that's not what Gard had decided "was the play." Gard's problem is simple enough. He does an amazing job of having plays that work when you take the ball out under the opponent's basket. They score on a fairly consistent basis and get good shots. But the play chose to go full court can't be that specific. It has to be more of a rotational play where you find the guy who gets open because you can't afford the miss. Some people might think that Tonje was being selfish on that play, but I don't think that's the case. I think Gard told them exactly what was to play out. What puzzled me most during the game was how poorly Gard used his bench. Only one of them got over 10 minutes on the floor. They were inconsistent because the rotations were completely different than they had been in the past. They made 1 of 9 shots and scored a total of 3 points by Gilmore. The way Gard used them was completely inconsistent to how he'd been doing it all season. You could tell they were out of sync out there because they weren't being utilized in same 5 player rotations as in the past. It was near the end of the game when they finally started to get their feet under them and become part of the flow. At that point, they became a different team. [/QUOTE]
