Shaq was taken out because he couldnt do what was necessary. If he could hit free throws, he would have been in the games. Yhe comment was if you cant play you 2nd best player in every clutch situation then the player should be traded or the coach fired...which took about 30 seconds to destroy that "truism"....
Besides, Hack a Shaq is a foolish generalization because the problem was them putting him on the line, it was because he couldn't handle the ball as well aa a G or SF and he couldnt hit free throws. Hack a Shaq wasnt employed in the last two minutes either.
Stop the nonsense. You know I'm right, but you just want to find a reason to feel justified to complain and here you dont have one. As it is when folks turn on a dude, any excuse will do.

Also, why was Marcus Smart the only choice for KP to guard? Evan Fournier got all but 24 secs of play in the 4th. That sounds like the best target for him to guard.
That also is a dumb justitfication. There's so much wrong with that, I wont take the time to explain it (and you know it). Try that on someone who doesnt know basketball and didnt watch the game and you might be avle to stat bluff your way through...but not with me. Try again.
