re: Monty claims he told players to foul

Depends on the context. I bet he was real specific about the scenario and it was not the exact scenario that played out as the players did not rush to foul like you'd expect. Seems like they had to think about it. No thought process should have been involved. This isn't the first time, we see players not fouled in a similar case. Pondexter is a smart guy with playoff experience. I don't think he would be that clueless.
