Also we need to remember that our opinion is often based on incomplete data. We don't know how players feel, if they are banged up a bit or low on energy (breeding a flu or whatever). We don't know if they had a bad night of sleep for whatever reason or just a bad shoot-around in the morning. It happens, atheletes are not machines. Carlisle tries to adjust, fans complain about uncommon minute distribution or rotations. No NBA player will admit in a post game interview that the coach benched him because he wasn't feeling 100% (he'd get slaughtered by the "soft"-callers), yet we all agree that a 80% bench player is often not a valuable contributer on NBA level (stars might be different case).
