It did suck. But, we're right in it.

What about his drive to the hoop, throw it up and prey it goes in without even looking and running down the court bitching about the foul they didn't call?

It wasn't necessary to dive. By the time he took the big, exaggerated jumping motion he didn't get to it any quicker anyway.

You don't dive to the ground to get to the ball faster. You do it to secure the ball vs. leaning over to pick up the ball.


Uh-huh...

Why do they keep attacking Okongwu? They get deflected every time.

Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

They’re a bunch of chuckers. Eventually you gotta learned how to score in the paint.
