Bona

I thought if a defender slaps the backboard and shakes the hoop as the shot is going up it is goaltending? And can we please calm down with the threes? They have been open looks but we aren't hitting them so run some offense and try to get in the paint. And please make some freethrows.

I thought the same thing on goaltending. I know the defender can't touch the rim on it but it seemed like that backboard-slam clearly affected the end result of the shot. No idea if it was going in anyways but it seemed to clearly move the trajectory.

 

[Eight Legger]

We're shooting threes because we can't get anything else.

 

[PhillySpider]

We have played 8 so far, but suspect that’s it. Not sure who will play to rest Tyler. Guess Sal and Cayo slides over.

 

[plydogg]

Love seeing Sal take it strong to the rim. Wish he would have knocked down both free throws.

Not sure these refs have done quite a good job so far. But they've hurt Bonaventure more than us so far.

 

[I-M-UR]

Sounds sloppy.

what is up with free throw shooting.......AGAIN

 

[PhillySpider]

ThAts probably it for Tyler for the half. That’s huge. Someone needs to step
Up

 

[plydogg]

2 fouls on Burton and only 10 minutes in. Not good.

 

[plydogg]

now THAT was great defense by Grant. Hell of a block there!

 

[URWilk110]

Free throws!

 

[plydogg]

2-7 from the free throw line is unacceptable. They're not hesitating to foul on takes to the rim because they know we can't make the free throws. Come on!

 

[Eight Legger]

Should be winning by 4 or 5. Lucky not to be losing by that much or more.

Everybody is looking to pass, nobody is looking to shoot. Where is the off-ball movement? Where are the cuts? Everyone is just standing around! How do they expect to score when nobody is running the offense?

 

[fatherspider]

Cool it Francis!!!

 

[plydogg]

Sal is working hard right now. I really like to see it. He's showing me he means business tonight.

 

[fatherspider]

Wow they are active on D. Not giving us anyrhing.

 

[RESRam]

Wow they are active on D. Not giving us anyrhing.

Can’t watch the game. Are they playing man or zone?

 

[Eight Legger]

It looks like Bona has eight guys out there on defense and we have two.

 

[Eight Legger]

Mostly man and doubling Golden every time.

 

[fatherspider]

Wth from Golden? U dont have to pass it to a cutting guy EVERY time they cut Grant. No chance that pass was getting to 00.

 

[whampas]

We're once again just not playing very well on either end of the floor.

 

[fatherspider]

Mostly man and doubling Golden every time.

Good strategy because teams are realizing we are having difficulty from 3.

 

[plydogg]

Great pass from Cayo there to find Francis in the corner. That was a thing of beauty.

 

[Eight Legger]

Gilly getting in the flow a little more on offense finally.

 

[PhillySpider]

Good move by mooney to take Burton back out

 

[plydogg]

Blake Francis!!!!

 

[Eight Legger]

After all that, to be up at the break, I'll gladly take it.

 

[whampas]

Hard to believe we have the lead having not played very well. Wow.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

These guys are fun to watch, man.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Hard to believe we have the lead having not played very well. Wow.

Correct. If we play fundamentally good ball, we should be up at least half a dozen. Poor foul shooting and giving up way too many shots under the goal as well as 2nd chance points.

 

[CarolinaSpider]

If you don’t think Andre Goos makes a difference, then you need a brain scan. Glad Mooney jerked Francis out after two forced errors. Depth this game is key. Guards are going have to be at their best both ends of the court. Sal giving some good minutes.

 

[whampas]

We are a terrible defensive team. Just bad.

 

[PhillySpider]

Defensive struggling now. 4 straight at the rim for Bonnies. We continue to struggle with dribble penetration.

 

[PhillySpider]

Dumb foul for Burton. Just can’t have that foul right there when we have no depth.

 

[Eight Legger]

Our defense looks way too elastic. We are always one step behind the movement of the ball.

 

[whampas]

Gotta find a way.

 

[SpiderK]

The ESPN box score is shut down.

 

[plydogg]

The ESPN box score is shut down.

48-42 Bonnies with 15 minutes left in the 2nd half. Both Burton and Francis have 3 fouls.

 

[Dr. Spidey]

Golden better play the rest of these 15 minutes.

 

[PhillySpider]

Bonnie’s doubling us in the short corner post up and our spacing isn’t great so they can double and recover easily

 

[SpiderK]

48-42 Bonnies with 15 minutes left in the 2nd half. Both Burton and Francis have 3 fouls.

Ugh. Thank you
