@Kev -- I know it's just one article, but it was backed up with a lot of detailed evidence and stats. And I wasn't really calling the play lucky, just the fact of removing Hibbert from the game.
I understand, too, about speculating on "what-ifs," but in this case it was a pretty big "what-if?"
@Reap -- I think it's in general (not always) a bad move to not have your best 5 players on the court. And removing the big man is especially dangerous, as we saw in Game 6 from last year's Finals, because of the loss of defensive rebounding.
