It wouldn't be a terrible idea to put Cuz in for Brooks, leaving both Outlaw and Johnson in at the wing to counter Detroit's ability to go big at the 2.
Brooks thought Smart was yelling for a foul. Right after he did it he gave that look over to the bench. Smarts yelling on the sidelines has cost us way too many possessions over the course of this season.
Nope. IT is a much better defender then both Jimmer and Brooks. And I'm pretty sure that when the whole team is screaming 'don't foul' IT wouldn't foul.
I think Jerry has it right though. With all the noise and the directions being yelled across court, Brooks may have just heard the word "foul. Or maybe he's not bright.
