Question for Thibs Re: Raptors 3/24/12

What did John Lucas the III do to get on your shit list?  And what can we, as your fan base, do to help get him off?  It seems clear that JL3 has fallen out of favor with you lately.   Over the preceding three games, he has shot 6 of 13 from three point land.  He has provided instant offense consistently over the past several games.  Why then, did you leave CJ in for so much of the second half?  CJ is not as good a shooter as he thinks he is.  I see some times where he seems to decide that he's going to sway the tide and then he'll jack up a 3 with 18 seconds left on the clock.  You can get a rapid-fire 3 off anytime.  Use some clock and try to get an easy shot.   The best teams are not those that make the tough shots, they are those that make the easy shots.  You should try to make the other team take the difficult shots. 

CJ has not been as beneficial offensively as JL3.  Why did you keep him on the bench?   I think you may be trying to punish him to teach him some sort of lesson (I saw you chewed him out when you pulled him out last game), but you are punishing us in the process.  Thank G-d that we won.   But it never should have been so close.   Coach, please don't let your lesson to one player get in the way of the goal for the whole team.
