SO what with the water on the floor

[muskieman]

Last night we saw miracles in that water was draining into the arena and the floors became so wet they had to stop play and clean up the water for many minutes. Then suddenly they had fans that dried up all the water and kept the floor dry for the end of the game and 3 OTs with no problems.
I want to know what were those fans and where did they get them because I am sure other arenas are wondering the same thing. One moment they talked about moving the game because the water was coming so much and then Poof they made the water disappear. Worst yet the water never dripped again.

The funny thing about that it wasn't even the most bizarre thing about the game. We had flagrant fouls one called not flagrant which flabbergasted even the announcers and a bump away from the ball, which normally is not even called, and were not called a number of times last night, but this time it is called flagrant. Take about not making calls down the end of games.

Then there was a couple of the fouls the refs called on Odom which had me shaking my head. Odom had done a decent job on Bynum. I mean 11 missed shots but when Odom picked up that fifth shot you knew a three was coming and Paul was close but not close enough for that downtown three. Odom played well last night and his attacking the D was noticed by me. His breakdown of Watson was on the SVP sports center play of the day.

X shot 84 from the foul line but Jones missed the first of two one-ones could have gotten X at least 2 points if he had hit the front end. all you can say is X missed it when they needed it most. But I am sure TS scripted those misses.


Last night I was upset X lost when we had chances to win but I am more concerned about how this game plays on the minds of the players. I think the next game or two will tell us a lot about the team. X still looks better in the Quad 1-2 games over other teams.
