This is a horrible line of reasoning. This game was a winnable game against a mediocre team. Even after our trash start we came within 4 in the 4th with like 5 minutes left. Then Kenny fucking blew it. This man has an obsession with sticking with his rotations even when they're not working. There's no reason Dudley, Demarre or Rondae should have gotten as many minutes as they did yesterday. All 3 were offensively horrible and should have been benched in the final 6 minutes.

What's his deal with saying "I'll ride the hot hand" and then benching D'Lo and Shabazz as they got hot? You realize D'Lo was the only reason we were ever even in this game to begin with. Dude picked up the scoring when everyone was shooting bricks, yet Kenny benches him for long stretches to bring back Din who went 1/7? Shabazz started the 4th quarter run that got us into single digits and the very next timeout why does he take him out to put back in Din?

Kenny is super hypocritical when it comes to guy's playing time. He says he'll ride the hot hand, but the only hand he ever rides is Din, regardless of how well the other guys are doing and how bad Din is doing. He keeps giving washed up guys like Dudley and Demare way too many minutes when Joe Harris and Rodi are better offensive and defensive options out there. They're young guys, they can play 30+ minutes. He doesn't need to constantly give them a minutes cap.

I'm glad we had this 9-1 stretch but it could have easily been 10-1 if not for Kenny's dumb coaching down the stretch. Our schedule is brutal for the next few weeks and picking up wins against mediocre clubs is what we should be expecting. Just because he had a good stretch doesn't absolve him from criticism, and Kenny absolutely cost us this game today in the 4th.
