    WHY!? Why the refusal to foul for possession in a one possession game? Yeah, yeah, I know the conventional wisdom is against fouling when you're up by 3 but I'd take our chances at the line.

    Indiana inbounded the ball to Roy Hibbert! Foul that dude and we win the game. Very frustrating, don't see the logic in giving them a chance to tie it.

    The ending of regulation reminded me of the SA- Miami final. One missed rebound.......resulting in three to tie.
    I thought Earl looked good though. The shot selections when he was in was better than with Mo in there. Especially the end of the 1st quarter. Tough loss.

    Good point on the SA-Miami reference.

    Yeah, I liked Earl in there tonight.

    That lob that nearly went in was hilarious, and he did cause a costly turnover by running someone else's route cutting to the basket, but otherwise played great.

    Apparently this was the only way the coaches could think to stop West from having wide open shots.

    Both those plays would not have occurred if he played regularly. I am sure he will have some stupid turnovers tonight as well for the same reason, but what I liked was seeing the true PG instincts he obviously has. I want to see more of him.
