But heading into the Sixers' huddle -- when your team's down two with 11 seconds to play -- ...

Where “changing the rotation for no reason” happens
Detroit Bad Boys —
... We all watched the game so we all have our theories for what happened, but the biggest difference I noticed between last night and the 82 games that preceded it was the sudden change in rotation.

emptythebench.com 4/21/2008 — Before I tell you why Sunday night’s embarassing loss to the Philadelphia 76ers is no big deal, let’s get the formalities out of the way: that was sickening.
