Mitch Johnson has been tremendous for the Spurs this season. They don't make it to the second seed in the Western Conference without his stewardship, but that doesn't make him above reproach. His inaction in the second half of the Rockets game was a major contributing factor to their loss on the first night of the NBA's Rivals Week, and just as the players will be called out for their collapse, so will the coach.

Johnson spoke about the effort and lack of toughness from his squad after the game, and he has fair points there, but why couldn't he pull that out of them while it was happening as victory hung in the balance?
