I would probably rephrase the question to ask whether JJB would have finished the game better than Jalen and Wright (who actually closed the game). Yeah, probably.
This one is more dicey I'd say but did Boston really have someone to stop Boban inside when the Mavs could have used a few buckets to hold a lead or stop a run?
Carlisle has made a few comments about using Boban over the season. To the effect that he believes that Boban is useful against big guys who aren't highly mobile and don't shoot threes. And that he can't keep up with a high degree of athleticism and pace. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been tried. Just chipping in a bit of Rick commentary. I get that you are saying he would have been put in for offensive purposes.
The role I want him to have? That's a misdirection 15th, the post is me expressing an opinion, in the form of questioning the strategy about this game and this situation. Its not about me and not even about an overarching role I envision for JJB or for Boban. You're taking the isolated point and stretching way beyond the scope of the post.
Jeez! Way to overreact, fif.
