This is a blatant false equivalence. I don't bring up MJ any more than you do. Like you just did.
This idea that I'm bringing up MJ in every basketball thread and constantly posting tweets from weird Twitter accounts dedicated to defending his honor is objectively false.
99.9% of my posts on CP are Chiefs/draft related. [Reply]

The foul trouble had more to do with UConn being a shorthanded team that needed everything to go right to have a chance.
The problem was UConn kept winning and made the final four to play a team they could only beat if they hustled and fouled the shit out of them the whole game.
I mean yeah they played more aggressively but that’s a tight whistle. It’s not like they were playing hack a clark. Both centers with 4 fouls? The guard who wasn’t even guarding Caitlin clark with 4 fouls?
I just hate to see it. When late in games defenders are backing off offensive players for easy scores that’s not great basketball. Refs have to swallow the whistle more in tournament basketball. Or more appropriately, they need to realize younger kids are more prone to mistakes and just raise the ejection limit to 6 fouls. Way too easy for refs to have massive influence on games on this level. [Reply]

If Jonathon Ogden was the screener and executed the screen as if was HOF left Tackle in one one on pass pro, almost all of them would be called. [Reply]

That was still an incredibly soft call to end a game no matter what you say.
you are fucking retarded... it was a hard foul, actually got her in the face a little and could have been reviewed as a flagrant, though it wasn't. It was definitely a text book moving screen common foul. If you watch the continued play, they didn't have much going for their offense anyway. Would have had to launch a prayer. [Reply]

:-)... Just stop already. You've seen the angle they didn't show last night. Just like the hold on JuJu that wasn't shown. Once the actual foul was shown, it negates the dumb fuckers bitching about the call, except for retards like you. [Reply]

I never contested that the play could technically be called a foul, just that it was an incredibly soft one that it is never called at that stage of a basketball game. Screens of that variety are as common as it gets. [Reply]

Try watching the video again... those are always called. They didn't have shit for a play anyway, and most likely wouldn't have made the prayer they would have had to launch. [Reply]

Yeah, it was covered well by Iowa regardless of the terrible attempt at a screen. [Reply]
