I actually don't think Wiggins has played a good home game yet. He seems to only get jacked up by the road atmospheres. I suppose that isn't exactly a bad thing, but you'd like to see a more consistent level of intensity.

He was out of control, but the guy moved right in under him as he was going up.

Reflex action to getting hit. Threw his arms up without intent. Hit Nash (I believe) in the face.

It really could have gone both ways just didn't know they could actually call a double foul on a situation like that. I still wonder if you actually can. Didn't affect the outcome either way IMO.

Kansas became the first school to win 3 straight regular season games vs ranked opponents since Louisville in 09.

Oh.

LOL

Mr. Laz · 01-18-2014, 05:49 PM

It's like the refs were so afraid to make a call that they just called double fouls or double T's to avoid making a decision.

He was still stepping into position when Traylor went up. By rule, that's a block. It's when the offense starts upward motion, not when contact occurs.

No, **** that guy and anyone defending him.

Poor sportsmanship is no way to play the game. He's trying to cheat the refs to get an advantage. He refuses to play the game straight up.

I should have been more clear. By bowled over I felt that Jamari dropped his shoulder and basically ran over Smart.

It's not poor sportsmanship, it's doing everything you can to win a game. If he was on KU, you (and everyone else here) would be loving him. Just such an unreal level of competitiveness. He willed his team to victory last year at AFH and he almost did it again today.

That's not the play we were talking about. Jamari took off in the air and it was Murphy who should have been called for the block.

No, it's poor sportsmanship. That's why the NBA fines it.

Don't speak for me, either. I would not be defending it. It's juvenile bullshit.

I could have sworn it was Smart who tried to take the charge.

Maybe, it was Murphy -- I thought it was a charge, that's all.

Embiid had 8 blocks in this game, but it was remarkable how rattled he had OSU most of the game (especially Nash). They weren't used to that at all. They couldn't go to the basket without getting blocked, freaking out, or just missing a shot. Enormous defensive presence.
