Also, earlier in the season, having both Plumlees in the games was a defensive liability, while having both Zoubek and Thomas in the game was an offensive liability. With Zoubek getting much better at avoiding fouls and finding his offensive game and with the Plumlees starting to grasp defensive rotations better, it makes more sense to go with a Plumlee line and a senior line.
