Our timekeeper sucks. A full second went by before the clock started on that one.

That was one heck of a shot by Jack...duck under two defenders, double clutch and hit from the top of the key.

2 freethrows in one half? What happened to the "attack the rim" philosophy?

The Raps are always getting beat by buzzer beaters... ugh. So annoying.

good end of quarter defence. Damn that's 5 free points we've given them. That could come back to bite us.

I am sick of our inability to defend last second shots. 2 in this game already. This has been a reacurring problem since the smitch has been our coach/It's a guaranteed basket every time for the other team/unreal

I'm not quite sure why bargs didn't play anymore minutes in the 2nd. Sure he had 2 fouls but the general rule is that you allow your players to have up to 3 fouls by the end of the half.

I didn't see his first foul that happened extremely early, but that second one was a GARBAGE call by the ref. To me, that warrants him getting some court time in the 2nd quarter, but hey, I'm not smitch.

with BC hiring Maurizio, would it have been possible to even have chosen Roy? or even Aldridge? i still see no improvement on Bargs' foul troubles & travelling/turnovers.. :banghead: :banghead: :nonono: :nonono:
