Yep....we need to at least maintain a double digit lead heading into the half.

When you play savage defense like we do you get fouls called on you. Kind of live with them and hope you don't have multiple players with 5

Second half is going to be a dogfight.
Fouls kinda scare me.
To be clear, the call wasn't close at all. Vital was way inside the circle, so it's automatically going to be a foul on him.CaliByWayOfKS said:
the close Vital blocking foul that was so damn close to getting Suggs his third
Vital clearly in the circle. But Suggs' push of Mitchell on the loose ball wasn't.NeuroticBear said:To be clear, the call wasn't close at all. Vital was way inside the circle, so it's automatically going to be a foul on him.CaliByWayOfKS said:

I agree with everything else you said, though. Tough last 4 minutes.
