[Anti-Homer]

Hankins needs to get a touch every time on offense with Mcdermott guarding.

Baldwin got into Jones's head and a stupid T on Jones.
Travis just got T'd up.
This game is starting to slip away for X.

Yes...please.

Jones is something of a head case (not basing it on that one play solely) and I don't know what Steele said, but that ref has been consistently bad today. Interesting the ref closer to Steele didn't "T" him up, but the guy who was cross court did.

X in the bonus with over 15 left.
Got to make their FT's here in the 2H

Ref has "rabbit ears".

Nice stretch of defense and rebounding by Jones.

[ChitownSteve]

Wheels started coming off when Scruggs missed the front end of he one and One. Then, the awful foul called with two seconds to go in the first half. The Refs mishandled the clock issue at the end of the half gave Butler the ball to start the second half. That is a 5 point swing on the Refs.

Lappas.doubted both the end of the Half foul on and the T on Coach Steele.

Of course, Welage needs to hit a three!

X fouls Baldwin with 2 sec left.
Questionable call, IMO
Down 5 at the half.

Butler outscoring X 14-10 in the paint.
And Butler has 19 bench points to X's zero.
Welage, Kennedy and Harden are a combined 0-8 from the field in 23 minutes.
Those guys have to make more of a contribution for X to have a chance to win.

You can add Castlin to this group

Disagree.
Castlin provides defense and can rebound for a bigger guard.
If Welage doesn't make shots, he is a liability out there.
Same goes for the Not Ready for Prime Time Players - Harden and Kennedy.
