My first sentence is "it was bad for sure". My point is we struggle inside with taller bigger dudes. Have all year with this team. Tonight's discrepancy is nuts.
Basketball in general is just bad right now. College teams can’t score and NBA teams don’t defend. Tonight a team scored 131 points and lost by 20.
Watch the go ahead bullshit shot they hit to go up 3 with 2 seconds on shot clock. It was a Harden 3 or 4 step travel. Deserve to lose getting manhandled on the boards but there were 2 or 3 late calls or no calls that had an impact on the outcome. Edit, here it is.
It has to have a bit to do with moving the line back. Has to. Too big of a coincidence to see such poor shooting and poor basketball.
One other thing is even though we are leading the league in blocks, when we have 2 or 3 players go up and alter a shot instead of block it, we dont have anybody left to rebound. Some are from poor effort but others are from trying to hard to make a play on the ball. If you see Pons coming over, hes gonna get it, so pin a guy underneath instead of jumping with him.
The guy stepped on Fulks foot. Which was soon after a phantom call on Fulk on the other end, and the phantom foul on JJ on the 3 where the guy kicked both legs out and JJ still never touched him. Something was up with the refs late, especially when you take the bumping into account.
Referee Nance setting up a post screen on coach Barnes was athletic highlight worthy, but not as worthy as Nance's reaction to Coach Barnes indignation at being run over.
JJJ is reported as questionable for today's game against Miss State with his groin injury. Don't see how we have a shot if he can't go.
He might as well have been out the last two games. I’m sure his poor play was injury related. Probably better if we aren’t counting on him.
