Serious question. Seems to me that we get called for more fouls than our opponent very very regularly. I think they are bad calls, but a) I know I'm biased and b) when it happens over and over again there is something there.

What is it that we do just that little bit differently that has us losing the whistle wars?

See some complaining about Hawkins and he didn't have the greatest shooting night but still had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and only one turnover. Led the team in rebounds, assists, and blocks

The 3 point foul was bad but the timeout on the made 3 was kind of unlucky because it looked like Mayer might be about to turn the ball over and he came out and assisted the Epps 3 the next play so no harm.

CH very improved in the TO department last 3 games.

I have no !!!!! about either.

The timeout kept a broken play alive. Easily could have resulted in a turnover.

The foul is a hustle play. I’ll take that all day long.

Coleman is just a different kind of star than we’ve had. He impacts the game in so many ways than just scoring the basketball.

Rodgers has to completely rework his shooting form or he can never be more than a role player, which is fine, but I’m sure he wants more than that. He should start over now when not a lot is needed from him yet.

It feels like he's rushing it more than anything else

I hate to say this but we didn't win just because we just kept fighting. We won because when we took Clark out in the second half, our offense ran better and the defense tightened up considerably. As a result, I predicted Clark would not come back in during overtime and he didn't. I'm surprised Jay didn't catch that. Posters did notice the effort of Harris and Epps and they deserve lots of credit. This will be a good opportunity to teach Clark some lessons. Ignore the one great game that he had recently. He'll sit to start the next game.

This game was too big for him now. He will learn.

These are probably the same people who complained about DMW. They can read a box score but don’t really see the game. The whole game. BTW, CH is better than DMW. Geez. Watch the game.

I dunno but it turns out with our bench, it's actually not that been an Achilles heel. Our legitimate 1-10 depth is scary.

I think it's due to inexperience and being out of position due to our switch everything D. Switching everything requires "elite elite" communication and chemistry and we understandably don't have that yet. It also puts us in don't disadvantageous positions particularly when we get a guard uh, guarding a big man.

I love that we won and Epps revealed his clutch Ayo-esque genes but man, Coleman should not be closing our games. He's anti-clutch.

I don't agree with this. His defense alone is as clutch as it comes in late game situations. Yes, he definitely makes very frustrating decisions on offense at times, but throughout all of the 2000s, he would probably be on my list of the 5 players I'd want on the court if we need a defensive stop in the final minute of a one-possession game. His defense was huge in getting us to OT and a big reason why we won in OT. The question for him will be can he get past the mental lapses that blow possession or put three point shooters at the line.
