Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 4075622, member: 966"] Not a bad decision. Joe actually did have trouble getting just across half court. And, if you look at his history (or, at least last year), Joe did not fare well by even attempting what he managed to do last night: take the ball to the rim. If you had been told Joe was going to attempt a layup in traffic and had to place a bet, i'm pretty sure Converting or Getting Fouled would not have been smart picks. Last year, even on breakaways, he'd slow down and get it swatted. And during one foray to the hoop yesterday, he just tossed the ball out of bounds. If you play back and set up your defense, you're at more of a risk of just having a single or double pick set against you, and one of our "great shooters" having a decent look. Six in one hand, half dozen in the other. He took an aggressive, proactive approach, against a slow, poor ball-handling team. And the result was a coin flip. [/QUOTE]
