They were last year too, one of the biggest fall offs from the JB era IMO

Good question. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count but I thought hitting the backboard wasn’t legal either

That’s a turnover. I saw that happen in a Piston game once.

I’m surprised that the refs didn’t notice that the inbounder stepped onto the court before he threw.

I’m not sure you can convince me that Juwan doesn’t have a fetish for guys who can’t hit free throws, can’t finish at the rim, and have the game IQ of pool noodles.

When we’re all crying together during our Elite 8 win, we’ll look back fondly on tonight

Refs definitely swallowed their whistles quite a bit but they did play some solid defense too

Yeah, it is grasping for straws, but they did play hard/well down the stretch. I really liked everything Kobe did down the stretch except shooting. (I am still not convinced he’s going to figure out his outside shot.). Jett finally did some good things on defense also.

Will Llewellyn and Kobe combine to shoot over 10% from three this year? Stay tuned to Bricklayer Network to find out!

I think that only works if you have one of these kind of games in your first 5 instead of 3, lol

Yeah Jett’s last close out was a foul for sure

I watched it again…not sure if his foot actually touched the court before he threw the ball. It was close…think it was ok.

His right foot definitely is over the line and then his left foot steps over - he may have gotten the ball out before it landed, but he has at least one foot over.

Heres a good question - what if the inbounds pass hits between the backboard and rim and gets stuck as almost happened there? Assuming it’s a possession arrow situation right?

The refs were very kind all night imo.

I mean glad to escape with the win and they did show some heart but they are definitely not looking great.

Every time they were turning the corner, they fell apart.

As a Bills fan that play was going to give me a heart attack. These wild far fetched plays constantly going against me is taxing.

This will all make sense when Michigan loses to Jackson State and then defeats Virginia by 15
