honestly, no matter what brenneman says (and hes my favorite current play-by-play announcer in any sport), that wasnt a "flagrant" foul.

as a screener, thats one of the hardest screens to set. when youre in the halfcourt, the defender cant gain too much "momentum" coming toward you

but in the full-court like that, the defender is almost coming full-speed at you and even though youre screening, you run the risk of getting drilled (being the SCREENER) if you just absorb a full-on collision with the defender coming almost full-speed and blind to the pick being set. naturally tendency is to somewhat lean into the screen

not trying to make this is physics, "law of motion" debate, but just feel like those screens always look worse than they are.

he DID put a little too much into the screen, but not like he was trying to lay the guy out. a lot of it was protecting himself

you got anyone in this one jonesy?

Actually, posted in jr11's thread, I have W.F. I just don't like that crap. And then he just stands there like a bad ass. Personally, I hope someone takes him out later, bet or no bet.

GL tonight.

agree on that point (the posturing and standing there like a bad ass). and thats really not his demeanor either. i was actually laughing a bit because hes normally considered a "soft" player

ok ok it was a flagrant...maybe my wake money skewed me a little...i like tech to make a nice run in the 2nd half...not enough to cover though may be a solid 2nd half wager...
