I guess my question to you would be......Did we not get outcoached? Have the ISO's worked? Should Blake be playing so many minutes? Should the team constantly go away from pounding the post after Oden dominated in the first few minutes? Oden was 3-3 in the first couple of minutes of the game, and didn't shoot again until the second half.
Right! * Johnson jumps with the ball, Miller bats at it so Johnson fumbles, and COMES DOWN WITH IT. Then he takes (and makes) a three. * The over-and-back * Smith puts the ball on his hip and stumbles for at least three steps before starting dribbling That was NINE POINTS (and two fouls on the Blazers, which led to more FTs earlier). And that's not even including the Blake-not-actually-quite out-of-bounds. It's hard not to believe somebody had money on this game.
Sorry, but it's really annoying me: Over the back not over and back. (like 'I could care less', it's 'i Couldn't care less', implying the amount you care couldn't be lower) Man I hate net misspoken phrases/sayings. ARGH! NBA Ref Rules: "Over the back" is a foul. Reality: Similar to the reaching in myth, there must be contact to have a foul. Coaches holler for over the back fouls when their shorter player has seemingly better inside rebounding position and the ball is snared by a taller opponent from behind. Penalize illegal contact; don't penalize a player for being tall.
