Reply #18: Even in the fourth quarter ... [View All]

So, in other words, all the way up to the end of the game they were making the lowest percentage shot they could legitimately make and were *still* making them. Well, damn ... how dare they actually continue to play. I suppose they should have driven the lane on every possession and made it a game where an apparently atrocious defense could end up with players hurt.

Sheesh ...

Coaches wildly cheering, if that is accurate, when you're up that much is over the top. But then I don't know the context. When I was in high school, basketball was our sport since we had no football, and one year we thoroughly trounced our cross-town rivals (and a much larger school) by something like forty points, and I don't remember our cheering getting any lower as the lead increased. The previous season we'd been thrown out of the playoffs after a heartbreaking, last-second shot.
