You know those refs Geno talks about that thinks every blocked shot is a foul? Remember the name Bryan Brunette.
Um, the KML flattener with 22 seconds to go in the first was considered just a nice clean block even though there were a lot of Cardinal arms in with hers, so no, not every block was a foul. But every time there was any outside bump when a ball handler was driving into a defender on either side (as on the call on the previous play against Dolson) that was a foul today where as in most other games that's a play on.
 
Not sleepy. That is my double face palm.
I like this picture of you with Jonathan's cousin...

Have we ever seen JW NOT wear plaid?

Hartley picks up #2.

edit: Not sure that is plaid. More like a teeny tiny gingham checked?
Checked, not plaid, but he should have been wearing black-white vertical stripes.

You're kidding ! I thought he was on the court for a number of calls !
 
Well we got the lead up to 22 and then let our foot off the gas pedal for the last 8 minutes.
See the earlier thread re: Geno's question whether this team has a "killer instinct" like the 2002 team. When you get a good team down by 22 you step on their necks and finish the job.

Yeah, their last two NCs came in years when they lost a good many games. Inspires'em.

Second defender, Taylor, slid off the ball and did not have the ball but rather had KML's left wrist on the side away from the main view.

All reports I have seen of the play have described it as a clean block, which may or may not be, but Slaughter in back has and extreme downward motion with her right arm, though it is hard to tell how much of KLM she got from any angle I saw.

Point is, these are very dangerous plays when one player, usually the shooter, is bent backwards from the peak. Whether they really are completely "clean" or not, and they rarely are, with that type of momentum between two players, bad things can happen.
