Game Thread GAME# 67: MAGIC @ BLAZERS - MARCH 12, 2016 - SATURDAY, 7:30 PM (PST), KGW

You let BGD's posts get to you way too much.

I just like responding to them!

Okay so this has multiple levels. Let me explain:

First, there are three parts to every play:

• Start, develop, finish.

• You have to have what's called a patient whistle. Every single time you blow your whistle it should be during the Finish of play.

Second, a cardinal rule of refereeing is what's called "refereeing the defense first".

• While keeping an "Open look" (looking through the players from the side). You're looking to see that the defender maintains their "Legal Guarding Position" (LGP).

• A player may be moving. They do not need to be "set" (very common misconception).

If you see the defender is maintaining that LGP (a legal defender is something you're constantly looking for), and that the offense goes to AND through the defender (displaces the defender from his legally obtained position) it is an offensive foul.

So the key is to referee the defense first and observe that they are maintaining their legal guardian position.

You should have your own stickied thread, so we can all ask you questions throughout the season.

Meyers 10/5/4 with 0 turnovers on 50% shooting

 

[blue9]

Plumlee and Meyers have been on the court together quite a bit tonight. Granted it's against ORL...

 

[dviss1]

So much for the refs being good tonight, right @dviss1? That's a ridiculius ejection.

Yeah that was bad. But it's not their fault. The pussyfying of the NBA is. That was a flagrant 2 because he hit him I the head. The rules sucks.

 

[EGame]

Meyers 10/5/4 with 0 turnovers on 50% shooting

trade him while his value is at an all time high

Meyers 10/5/4 with 0 turnovers on 50% shooting

Finally he's improving his trade value.

The problem is you can't play Plums, and Biebs together, cause they can't guard the 4. You can't play Plums and Ed together, cause they can't shoot.

So you're left with Benching Plums, and starting Ed, and Biebs; or starting Plums, and Aminu at the 4. Can Aminu hold his own with opposition starting 4's? Depends on the match-up I suppose.

Yeah we're seeing a bit of the Plumlee/Meyers experiment tonight. Start Harkless, if you're only going to give a guy 12 minutes Mo would be more productive than Noah.

Meyers making things happen off the missed FT!

 

[DUB]

Dame with 19/4/10 but I've barely noticed him.

 

[dviss1]

Because he fucked with Lillard.

I loved every bit of that foul.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

trade him while his value is at an all time high

LOL! We both... the same...

Somebody do that! I'd happily oblige!

Not in Hendo's house.

He did alright but there still needs to be improvement.

 

[Tunchi]

This is the proper time to put in Vonleh.

This is the ONLY time of the game he belongs in.
The guy can't even score 10 pts once every 20 games

Pat reminds me a bit of Danny Ainge
