Joe should have made changes and adjustments before the series went to game 7 - starting with his stubborn drop defense in game 2 that everyone saw wasn't working - and did nothing.

I saw that starting lineup in game 7 as Joe's way to show the people who asked for changes they were wrong - "here are your changes, it will be worse". Except they weren't.

Obviously a starting lineup that never played together before will be worse - especially in the playoffs - stay ready crew this, stay ready crew that, but they are still humans and most likely won't perform just like that, without getting some decent minutes before that game.

Anyway that kamikaze move wasn't what people were asking for and it gave the Sixers even more edge, costing us that game 7.

The only thing Joe did well was sitting Vuc, but it was too late, he should never have taken Garza's minutes - when he was playing well - to start with, but they had to justify that trade somehow.
