FFS 3 BS calls right out of the gate

The step back has ruined basketball. That was a travel all game when I was in high school. Hell, half the refs still called traveling when we did a jump stop.

Lots of rules for offense annoy me. Like the if run through the middle of the chest they call it a change 50/50 but it you shift your body and run though the hip it's a block 99% of the time even if they are stationary. That should still be a charge

 

[buckeyebri]

Fugly

 

[buckeyebri]

Gawd these refs suck

 

[buckeyebri]

FFS why does every other team have defensive intensity and we look like dogshit on defense

 

[Zem]

We defended Fox well 1-on-1 near the basket, he missed the lay-in. Our guy was right there to get the rebound but somehow just stood there and let Fox get it and put it back in for a score. Perfect microcosm.

To me, that's not a lack of quickness, it's just lack of hustle and awareness. He was right there to get the f'ing rebound.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Never really recovered from that start. They got it tied but had to blow their wad to do it. Road woes are epically bad at this point

 

[DZ83CK]

Record-setting team. In a bad (road L) way.

 

[buckeyebri]

watching live, you can see there is talent there. The play is sporadic as is the intensity on both sides of the ball.

 

[NFBuck]

Purdon't game was fun, at least.

 

[Mike80]

We're still blaming Holtmann, right?

 

[dragurd]

They tried to end the game at least. Just couldn't get stops

 

[CMic]

Heck, I’m still blaming Ayers.

Heck, I’m still blaming Ayers.

In a "butterfly effect" kind of way, I can see it.
