The final play in regulation was suppose to have Watson driving to the rim. Roby getting fouled by Watkins killed the timing of the play because by the time Roby got to Watson, Watson felt he didn't have enough time. Thus, the contested 3. And, it most certainly was a foul on Watkins. He bear hugged Roby.
I agree that Palmer should have played in OT. Another gripe I have with Miles was he didn't switch to zone earlier. After the 1st media TO of the 2nd half, he should have made the switch.
As for Roby only playing 23 minutes in regulation, he did not have a very good 1st half. He only played 8 minutes in the 1st half, and 15 in the 2nd. If he plays like he did in the 2nd half, it will be impossible to keep him off the floor.
