I had the same reaction, there goes the lead, but it was more a total combination of the players he had in then just Sasha. Here's a group that is going to have trouble defending and scoring....even with a 16 point lead you could see where this was going. So then I would expect Fish to call time outs and slow the momentum of the 76'ers, nope. I really had to stop and tell myself, ok I'm not going to freak out here, then the lead was gone...poof!
Was not happy about Fisher almost blowing that game.
Remember the first few games when that unit outplayed the starters?
Soft spot for ex teammate, maybe he got eyes on Sasha's girl as well??
Just in case we forgot:
"New York, on the other hand, is getting close to nothing out of its backcourt, and part of the blame has been placed on its starting guards for losing each home game and falling into a three-game losing streak despite starting the season 2-1.
Through six games, Calderon has averaged only 3.8 points on 25 percent shooting from both the field and three, along with 2.8 assists per game.
New York is -5.8 with its starting floor general on the court, and opponents are shooting 51 percent from the field when guarded by the Spanish point guard.
In New York's 99-92 loss to Milwaukee on Friday, the Bucks attacked Calderon in its first two possessions with consecutive pick-and-pop plays that led to back-to-back Greg Monroe mid-range jumpers.
Sasha Vujacic hasn't been much better on either side of the ball.
Once heralded for his streak shooting abilities, Vujacic has lost his touch, averaging 5.7 points on only 30.7 percent from the field and 18.2 percent from three.
His shots haven't been good decisions nor good misses. Vujacic has air-balled, clanked or hit only backboard on several of his shots, and his shot selection leaves much to be desired. New York is -2.7 with its starting shooting guard on the court.
Defensively, opponents shoot 48.9 percent when guarded by Vujacic. Combined with Calderon, New York's starting backcourt boasts the second-worst defensive field goal percentage to only Sacramento's Rajon Rondo and Ben McLemore."
