re: don't put the blame on the refs, poor defense

This is ridiculous. People blaming CJJ. One poster said CJJ shoulda played zone to protect JOB. Hey dumbass, his 2 first half fouls we were in zone...way to pay attention.

21 fouls in the 2nd half. Shavon Coleman fouled out and didn't touch a player to do it. Every starter had at least 4 fouls and 2 fouled out. If they screened, we HAD to let them get in the lane otherwise it was a foul. Every time we hedged they purposely ran into our big men and got a foul. People who don't see how the officiating DIRECTLY had an effect on the defense clearly knows ZERO about basketball.

CJJ was very demonstrative at times at the refs, but what's he supposed to do? We're in a 7-8 point hole, you want him to get a technical and give them 2 more free throws? That's brilliant.

We lost because our best players, for that matter the entire team, was in significant foul trouble. You cant play defense when if you touch them it's a foul. I don't understand how people don't see that. Their 6'5 guard ducked his shoulder and ran into the lane...blocking foul every time on hickey or TQ. It was absolutely atrocious officiating
