@SeanoIrvine That is a really good question, but I think the answer has to be that the backboard is part of the playing surface.
@starkadidas And this should say "side/corner of the BACK OF THE backboard." Having a rough go this morning, heh.
@TheJerrbear1 My thought exactly. In any event, it wouldn't have continued traveling forward. Vector analysis complete.
@starkadidas Whoops. Link broke. http://on.nba.com/X29Mga
@starkadidas The inbound starts around 3:06.
Bruce Harris (@starkadidas on Twitter) thought the ball hit the side/corner of the backboard. That may be true, but it's not supported by the replay and the refs apparently disagreed with that argument. What do you guys think? http://www.nba.com/games/20130126/INDUTA/gameinfo.html?ls=iref:nbahpgt[0021200650]
Really enjoyed reading this. Andrei will always be one of my all-time favorites.
STEVE.
I solved the nickname problem last night. Gordon "Steve" Hayward.
@HipMrBully don't you dare speak an ill word about Big Tulip.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey It's a double-edged sword, and that's why it's proving to be a challenge for the front office and the coaching staff.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey Right, but that argument holds true for the people you signed to be your premiere players as well.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey Lots of variables, you know?
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey That's a totally fair point, and I'm calling myself that. All I'm saying is you have to at least acknowledge the possibility that the youth might not be much better.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey That's not what I said, I said consider the possibility. Is this draw extreme conclusions day? I'm assuming that relying on the youth might not be any better than relying on the vets. That's all. Call me a pussy if you want, but if you read through all my posts here, I'm not really taking sides. I'm trying to moderate some extreme positions.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey What is your over-arching point, exactly? I'm getting bogged down in the details.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey Okay, if Lillard were here. If you want to speculate on that, go ahead. If onlys and justs were candies and nuts, then every day would be Ernte Dank Fest.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey Alright, look up stats guy, Deron was off the bench through February. He started intermittently throughout the early season when injuries allowed, and was only the named starter for the final two months, if you recall. Find any interview with D-Will when he talks about his rookie year and you'll read him saying he hated coming off the bench for Sloan to start his career.
@nallad47 @JazzInJersey I have to think I would. Deron sat for a year and it lit a fire under his fat ass.
@Rafael Amarante @nallad47 Shit. Owned.
