Yeah, but David, you can always find excuses for individual fouls with any 
player. Ask Pierce about any one that's ever been called on him. Chris 
still tends to get called for a lot of fouls because of how he plays and 
how it looks and who he is, in that game and when he's gotten minutes 
before. It's going to have an effect on planning anything around using him 
a lot and needs to be factored into any thoughts of a bigger role, because 
those fouls don't just affect him and his minutes.

Yup, a very good point. Thanks for pointing it out.
