Rough night for our boys yesterday as we fell by 20 to the Denver Nuggets. We played well for nearly three quarters, but by the end nothing was left in the tank and our defense sagged. As did our offense. When your offense goes against a team like the Nuggets, that’s the end of the game.
The Zan for Three
George Karl is Brilliant.
When a team comes into Denver, the Nuggets have a clear advantage – they’re used to the altitude. So what does Karl do? He plays his starters for the entire third quarter. Naturally, Jay responds by keeping his starters in the game. Our guys get tired and their guys do not. That my friends, was the end of the game.
Chris Bosh
I’m going to harp on this for the rest of the season because it’s driving me nuts. When Chris Bosh decides to double team the ball at the top of the circle, the opposing team always gets an open shot. Why? He’s running through the motions. He doesn’t double aggressively on the ball (therefore the double is pointless) and the team has to rotate to guard the player he’s supposed to be covering. One or two smart passes later and the opposing team has a wide open look. Watch for it.
Hoops Bar and Grill
I love you Hoops. I watch basketball games there often. But for the love of God, if you’re not going to play the Raptor game over the Leaf game don’t call yourself Hoops. It’s maddening.
Zan of the Night
JR Smith
He was a monster. It was one of those nights. Not necessarily our fault. He was hitting everything from everywhere.
Not Zan of the Night
JR Smith
Nice bow douchebag. Momma says, don’t let yourself get too high when you win or too low when you lose. Honourable mention goes to Jarrett Jack who was once again the worst player on the court.
YES! Someone else is driven nuts by Hoops. I had the same experience a bunch of times last year. I’d show up and have to ask for them to put the Raptors game on a TV where I could see it, and they’d have the audio from the Leafs game on! Yet the menu is shaped like a basketball…
Yeah what is their deal? The place is called Hoops it appears very basketball oriented, funny you mention those menus too, but hockey is always first there…seems like an inappropriate name to me. Either embrace the basketball name or change it to something more generic.
