just a dick move at end game

3/14/2013 4:28:34 PM

to me, that does not sound dirty to me.

But I'm never one to worry about running the score up on anyone or courtesy stops before a game is over. Any sport I ever played, it's game on until 0.0 and it doesn't bother me when other teams have done similar stuff to us.

About the same as scrubs jacking up 3s. It's garbage time.

3/14/2013 4:29:57 PM

yeah, i think the point is to play through the game and into the next. You can question it, but it was a hell of a dunk though.

3/14/2013 4:30:04 PM

I don't mind, the guy guarding him was actually trying.

3/14/2013 4:30:10 PM

I wish he wouldn't have done it. I remember how mad I was when Greasy Vajizz shot a 3 at the buzzer when they were up on us

edit: I guess the dude was guarding him though, point taken. When Greasy did it though, everyone was walking off the court.

Wow we destroyed them on the board 43-26. Brown with a beautiful box score of 9-7-12.

Time to bitch slap UVA tomorrow and complete the Virginia NCAAT elimination.

3/14/2013 4:30:43 PM

If the other team is still playing, you still play.

Bunch of candy asses.

3/14/2013 4:31:00 PM

I don't mind that ever, even when teams do it to us.

you people sure do though.

3/14/2013 4:31:04 PM

I would probably get pissed off if someone did that to us in scrub-time, but mainly when its a starter, still in the game, running up the score

Purvis isn't a bench warmer, but he's not getting the minutes he used to

3/14/2013 4:32:28 PM

yea w/e, maybe it'll get him fired up for tomorrow, haha.

bring on uva

I think this was Howell's first double double since Feb 23rd.

3/14/2013 4:39:15 PM

Please to continue this shooting. We need it for that pussy defense tomorrow.

3/14/2013 4:40:18 PM

You're a straight up faggot if you think Purvis' dunk was a dirty/dick move.

3/14/2013 4:49:12 PM

You mean, a homosexual?

I think it's different with Purvis than most people in the league. He probably had some frustration due to his point output and the minutes he got, plus he's a freshman and probably one of the more excitable people on our team.

3/14/2013 5:06:37 PM

apparently James Johnson thought it was classless

he can take that attitude to the unemployment line

3/14/2013 5:09:08 PM

Source?

3/14/2013 5:17:02 PM

read it on facebook, will post a link if/when i see one

3/14/2013 5:20:04 PM

Johnson said in post game PC that Gottfried can do what he wants and he had no problem with it. Heard it with my own ears so I don't know a source for the tree info.


[Edited on March 14, 2013 at 5:22 PM. Reason : ^i think you got some bad Facebook info. ]

3/14/2013 5:21:00 PM

what i read was

"That's obviously how he coaches over there"

3/14/2013 5:22:57 PM

^he didn't seem thrilled about it but he didn't say anything about classless.

Regardless who gives a shit. Stop it if you don't like it. VT was clearly still playing hard tough defense on the possession.

Silly question from the reporter

And Johnson legitimately seemed to not have a problem with it.

3/14/2013 5:34:04 PM

There was something implied there, if that's the way he wants his guys to play...

Not really. He pretty much said he gets his guys playing their best ball however he can and if that's one way that gottfried does it it's fine.

3/14/2013 5:50:13 PM

yeah didn't seem like Johnson had a problem with it

3/14/2013 5:56:57 PM

Yeah? well, ya know, that's just, like, your opinion man.

3/14/2013 5:57:17 PM

My problem with Johnson is that he isn't Seth Greenberg. Seth Greenberg is a golden god.

3/14/2013 5:58:07 PM

If Johnson had an angry voice it's because he was being asked a series of dumb questions about "Self-evaluating" and last second dunks.


^Truth. Love Greenberg

3/14/2013 6:06:53 PM

any replays of the dunk at the end? I missed it

Time to crank up the UVA thread. Ready for some revenge!! Love tournament time.

3/14/2013 7:09:24 PM

if you're still trying to score, i don't see how you can get mad that the other team keeps trying to score as well

would be consensus on it even if it were vt doing the last second dunk on us

3/14/2013 7:14:17 PM

Remember when everyone called Lawson a nigger and to "get a rope", when he did it? I think it was a dick move*, just because Purvis was the only real basketball player on the floor at the time. He dunked on a bunch of scrubs.

*it is a dick move, but I do not have a problem with it.

[Edited on March 14, 2013 at 7:16 PM. Reason : Dick]

3/14/2013 7:16:09 PM

Just watched the replay. 0 problems with what I saw.

3/14/2013 7:30:53 PM

ppl saying that it is not a dick move or wrong. Dick move, and coach should be telling him to have more sportsmanship.

3/14/2013 7:31:03 PM

I don't understand the poor sportsmanship argument. This isn't church league basketball.

Of all the things people can complain about or call poor sportsmanship in sports, continuing to score has never been on my list of poor sportsmanship.

I like how there's no mention of how Purvis was obviously fouled on the play, lol

3/14/2013 7:34:08 PM

No, the coach should not mention this to the team or even remotely hint at it. The team/coach needs to remain focused on more important things like, gee...I don't know...winning fucking basketball games. No time to worry about whether you hurt someone's feelings or rubbed someone the wrong way.

3/14/2013 7:46:16 PM

BanjoMan why do you think it was wrong? Purvis looked so handsome when he dunked it

3/14/2013 7:46:30 PM

If it had happened to us, we would all be throwing a hissyfit like aimorris
