Mavs fan thinking: Rick doesn't think like me, doesn't see some players the same way I do, and chooses different lineups then I would choose, therefore he is stubborn.

According to the definition below, Rick would only be stubborn if he found fans' reasons for wanting a different lineup were better than his reasons for the lineup he picks.
From whatever dictionary Google uses: Stubborn - having or showing dogged determination not to change one's attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good arguments or reasons to do so
