Funny to hear Bill Walton admonishing someone for drawing attention to himself.CBCat wrote:Although Bill Walton and I suspect even CSM hated it.
I loved the Shimmy after the dunk tonight.
That was awesome. I think he was really pumped and also showing the Zoo some love.

If the refs call the and-1 as they should have, Rondae isn't shimmying his way back down the court. See, it's all their fault as per usual.psiclist23 wrote:I saw Walton in college. Yes, he was great, to say the least. I like him as an announcer alot.
Regarding RHJ's shimmy after the dunk, I don't really think it's a big a deal. Yet I was left with the feeling that such behaviors are better restricted to one's home court. Not rubbing it in in front of other fans. Slightly less than classy.

I actually thought the shimmy was in response to getting clocked in the head with no call. A bit of a "you can't stop me even with your uncalled dirty shit" response.PieceOfMeat wrote:you wink, but you're probably rightChicat wrote:If the refs call the and-1 as they should have, Rondae isn't shimmying his way back down the court.

I doubt he does the shimmy if that is called correctly
I think you're right. He hasn't done it after a dunk all year, so there was obviously a reason he did it there.Chicat wrote:I actually thought the shimmy was in response to getting clocked in the head with no call.

Thats how I took it. A little "Be Like Mike" posing after a great play.Chicat wrote:I actually thought the shimmy was in response to getting clocked in the head with no call.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw that. Completely agreed on that being the reason for the shimmy, which I thought was well deserved/called forChicat wrote:I actually thought the shimmy was in response to getting clocked in the head with no call.

Unless you're Jahii Carson. In that case, knock out a full set while the crowd rushes the court.eoe wrote:gumby wrote:Football players celebrate first downs. Why can't it be a celebratory move? I thought Ashley earned a technical for hanging on the rim.
His momentum carried him forward, no foul for swinging back to drop safely. Do a pull-up though and you'll get T'd up
A superstar in the Serbian league.gumby wrote:Who is Jahii Carson?
Yep, a safety issue. There was a player under the basket, so legally entitled to hang onto the rim.eoe wrote:gumby wrote:Football players celebrate first downs. Why can't it be a celebratory move? I thought Ashley earned a technical for hanging on the rim.

Brandon Ashley actually had a play that I thought could have been T'd up for hanging on the rim when he swung forward and back and really didn't have a reason to protect himself. I believe ESPN called it the game changing play of the game (Walton pooh-poohed it saying that the play was on an example of a great assist from TJ).eoe wrote:gumby wrote:Football players celebrate first downs.

It looked to me that if he let go right away his momentum would have carried him right into the player he was looking at. he waited until he swung back to let go. I think it was fine.gumby wrote:Right. Two minute mark of this video.

Nobody underfoot. Thought you couldn't do that. No biggie.
Possibly. I think he didn't get T'd because he didn't do a pull up as he swung.azgreg wrote:It looked to me that if he let go right away his momentum would have carried him right into the player he was looking at. he waited until he swung back to let go.

There was someone who was potentially under him and Ashley didn't do anything but swing back and drop. It was a solid no call (especially a dude who fractured a foot landing on an opponent last year).rgdeuce wrote:If i recall, there was a player in the immediate vicinity who could have ran under the basket (but didn't). I think the totality of that, the fact his momentum could have brought him to fall on his back had he let go after the finish, and it not really being a boisterous hanging/swinging, is why it wasn't T'd up. After it happened I was surprised they didn't T him up for it though, considering we can't get away with anything with these officials.

Basically, had it been called, I would have just shaken my head and said Brandon didn't need to do it. I thought it was a good no-call because I didn't want it called.gumby wrote:Video linked above. Shows the play. More like a possible collision off to the side. Nothing underfoot. That would require playing defense, and the Ducks had quit at that point.

You shouldn't T a player up for being careful. If no one's there or they exaggerate things, fine, but when someone could be under their feet, just holding on long enough to swing back shouldn't be a T.gumby wrote:But not really.Spaceman Spiff wrote:There was someone who was potentially under him and Ashley didn't do anything but swing back and drop.
