the blame is spread around, up and down throughout the coaching staff and the rotation of players..
ultimately, their lapse in defense is what allowed the Spurs back in during the closing moments of regulation. Mark Jackson's main role is the defensive component of the team outside of motivation... his players let him down.
milone's attribution is well reported out here in the Bay since last season.
that game was not lost based on 1 or 2 bad play calls... it was a collective letdown on defense in the closing moments of regulation. blame who you want, but playing steph all but 4 seconds was a tactical error. whoever was monitoring the minutes or... SET the rotation should also shoulder blame.
this was the game they had to steal with Tim Duncan having mudbutts... game 2 is going to be tough and i predict it will start and end ugly for the dubs
