[QUOTE="JSpence, post: 1576081, member: 4881"] Yup. I was concerned that the foul count was not getting forced up. I think that they ended at 4? I guess five, remembering DMFW's shots. If there was strategic thinking by our coaches and players in the second half, it went over my head. Not every possession from the 8-minute mark on should be forced and desperate. Yeah, they scored and even took the lead, but they were lucky not to get beaten by 10. The coaches need to manage their stars (read: Ayo) better and not be afraid to put him on the bench to breathe and watch and be coached for a minute. He was far from his best on both ends, so why set him up for failure? [/QUOTE]
