Three minutes of pain

[DaCoach]

At 13:09 we led 60-45.
At 10:10 it was  62-58.
We were outscored 13-2 and allowed Washington to get back in the game. In that time span both Hayward and Acker spent time on the bench. Neither was in foul trouble. We had 2 fouls and 4 turnovers and lost the momentum we had gained in the first 7 minutes of the half.

As much as Mo may frustrate many supporters, when he is on the bench, our offense goes stagnant.

While we can argue endlessly about the refs or the site location, we clearly went from a very positive team that knew it was the better team to a group asking themselves how to get back on the horse they had fallen off.

This has been a remarkable season and one I'll never forget, but this was an avoidable loss.

Fair opinion

[NersEllenson]

Agree to an extent, but Hayward picked up his 3rd right at the 14:54 mark, and Mo his 3rd foul at the 13 minute mark.  So, if we left Hayward on the floor when up 15 and he picks up his 4th, wouldn't some fans criticize such decision?  If there was a good time to get him off the floor, it was at that point.  Hindsight of course is 20/20 and maybe he should have stayed on the floor.  Our biggest lead was at 13:32.  We've seen Zar pick up some stupid tick-tack fouls in his career, and to sit him when up 15 with 3 fouls is hard to criticize.  Acker finished with 4 fouls in the game..perhaps he would have fouled out if he wasn't sat for a few minutes.  Who knows?  Hindsight 20/20
