I think Louie played the too loose B/20 8/2x with the 65. D/T looks right for the cube action. The basic takepoint ATS is 29%, the 2-cube gammon price is around 1.0, and Blue's 4-cube takepoint is around 33%. A 2-cube gammon win would be huge for Blue but White can negate gammons by redoubling and will be able to cash the game a lot earlier than for money. I think these considerations add up to D/T.

If White did play 20,2x with his 65, he'll probably make more misplays in the remainder of this possibly complicated game which is another reason for Blue to double.
