Uh, Gottlieb - Burke finished with 4 fouls.

[Gurleyman]

. That's why he wasn't fouling in the last minute.

 

[aceboon]

what did he say?

Thank you. "Guess how many fouls he ended up with? 2 Fouls. You saved your star player but you lost the championship." I tweeted at him after that. What a moron. #GetSomeFacts #ComeBackAndSeeMe

Was arguing with Barkley and kept saying Burke only ended up with two fouls. Worst part was no one corrected him.

Gottlieb was so strident going after Beilein about what he perceived as a huge coaching blunder. Of course Gottlieb got it completely wrong, pretty much sums up Gottlieb's career as an analyst.

 

[Gurleyman]

It is a stupid argument anyway because they built the lead without him and were doing fine. Do you put him back out there up by 12 with 3 mins left in the half? What if he gets his third then? It would be considered one of the dumbest coaching decisions in finals history. The game had played out in such a way that they could afford to play it safe, until all of a sudden the lead was gone.

The lead evaporated because Hancock scored 12 points in 90 seconds (not because Siva took the game over). Once the lead was gone there was only a minute left - at that point, you'd be taking him out anyway, even if he had been in all along. Had that 14-3 run happened at the 6 minute mark, he'd have gone back in. But you can't do it in the last minute.

My mistake- Burke had two until the last moment

Uhhh no I'm pretty sure he had 4 fouls with about 4 mins to go. Maybe 3. But it CERTAINLY wasn't until the last moment.

My apologies - Burke clean Block was one of other fouls

Okay Doug... just give up... just admit you were wrong... please stop.

That entire wrapup segment was an abortion. Between Gottliebs idiocy, Barkley calling Behanon BO-hanen and some other mistake I can't remember and Greg Anthony explaining what a 'decision maker' Behanon was in the paint (I think he meant difference maker) it was hard to fathom these guys were actually getting paid for their commentary.

It would have been nice to see a respected former in game national champion type strategist who is possibly retired up there giving commentary if possible. Calhoun? Would have been perfect.

Honestly, CBS needs to read a transcript of their halftime and postgame shows.

There was so much said that was so incomprehensible that fact-checking it is almost pointless.

Some of the names might have looked good on paper, but that just did not work.

JB did drop the ball by not subbing in for Burke at the end of the game. Cost them at least 15-20 seconds
