We can’t go into slow down mode the minute we take a late lead. It hasn’t been how we’ve gotten those leads and we’re not nearly cohesive enough to score in slow mo against defenses playing with a sense of desperation.

Have all earned an element of trust. That’s enough bodies to build a rotation if they stay healthy.
Frank, DSJ, Dotson, and Iggy need to get ready to step in, just in case, but the staff can focus on getting the most out of the guys who have at least produced something so far.
In the two losses so far we’ve played much dumber than our opponents who have highly regarded coaches, continuity, and an all star or two yet we grabbed late leads and contested till the final minutes. All the coaching, continuity and talent can be said about the Celtics as much as the Spurs or the Nets.
Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an overnight cure for dumb play.
