Was damn near perfect tonight. Really controlled Kemba when he was in the game in those situations.
Really showed when others, namely Fulce, were in the same situation. Really excited about 2 more years of Otule!
Its refreshing to see a game that is not completely ruined by poor referee-ing...no cheap foul calls on high picks.
No Burr + no Higgins = no problems.
(I do not miss Hillary or Hightower this year, either).

Otule really did do a nice job of hedging, although I did think there were a couple of times where Walker could have passed to an open guy because Otule stuck with him a little too long. Maybe its because of Otule's height, but Walker always seemed to keep the dribble too long. Either way, you're right, Otule and really the entire defense was fantastic.
You are missing the point if you think this is a reffing issue. In the past, including earlier this year, O'tule WAS fouling. He has made a drastic improvement guarding the pick and roll. This was huge yesterday with a guard like Kemba! .
