Too many times Niang has been called for fouls for just standing on the floor with his arms straight up. About 50% of his fouls are terrible calls but I just wish he'd jump or contest the shot more. (especially when the game is on the line)
The calls/plays that killed us: 1) Ejim's blocked shot turned into foul when the other guy was already laying on the court. 2) Clyburn all over Smart in last possession should have gotten a 5 second call before the pick 3) Inbound play to an out of bounds McGee....you just don't throw that pass 4) Babb practically tackled with ball coming right to him. How is that not 2 shots or a 1 and 1? (You can't have full possesion when you're tackled/hacked) and how come we didn't get the ball from where it was thrown in from? 5) 3 point shot hail mary to end 1st half....are you freaking kidding me? 6) We have to stop fouling 3 point shot attempts and giving the other team a chance for a 4 pt play or 3 free throws. (This has happened in the last 3 games)
