Are you serious?
You'll blame on Juan for the run the Cavs made in the last 4 minutes of the game? How exactly is he responsible for that? He scored 6 points in 4 minutes, played reasonable defense, and he takes the blame for the team having trouble against the press? That's something that the team had trouble with at times throughout the entire game. Is Juan also responsible for the runs the Cavs made during the first half, when they were playing the same game plan?
Going by your logic though, the Cavs really started their run at the 2:30 mark, about the exact same time when Larry Hughes and Jared Jefferies came into the game for Russell and Stack. Are they to blame because their entering the game coincided with the Cavs run too?
You're stretching here, and while I readily agree that Juan isn't ready for signifigant minutes, he is a very good shooter, which is something the Wizards do lack. Consequently, I do think Collins should find a way to steal minutes for him as often as possible to get real game time experiance for Dixon. Because on nights like the one against the T'wolves, his shooting can be a great asset if things aren't working out for the Wizards, and the more time he gets more he'll be able to contribute.
