i am recording this for posterity

Gt just took 6 shots in one possession, 2 of which were 3’s.

Not watching tonight

shitty hotel has no U. From the looks of the comments above, maybe that’s a good thing.

by Undertoe on Feb 9, 2012 7:24 PM EST reply actions  

getting better

We are down by 3. They are killing us on the boards and that is the difference. Considering the rebounding margin (16-8, and they have 8 offensive boards) we are doing awesome.

This is shitty

Fuckin’ Calvin looks like he’s shaving points.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:34 PM EST reply actions  

Amazing we're just down 4, as shitty as we've played

Again, the tournament talk is silly. We’re simply not a tournament team.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:36 PM EST reply actions  

I'm gonna be a one-man bitch-fest here

Can’t shoot.
Won’t rebound.
Handling the ball like it’s coated in razor blades.

Thank God for CJ.

Holy mother of God, we tied it – that’s an embarrassment for the entire ACC.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:39 PM EST reply actions  

Really need Wood to heat up

Holy shit – Alex Johnson hits the clutch J to take the lead.

More amazing still… we had a possession where Alex & Calvin each handled it twice… and we didn’t jack up a bad shot… and we scored. Mark it down…

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:41 PM EST reply actions  

fucking shit motherfucker

about time we take a lead.

by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 7:41 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

up 2 now

D intensity really picking up. Kelvin is playing his ass off right now.

by TVP on Feb 9, 2012 7:41 PM EST via iPhone app reply actions  

Calvin finally showing signs of effort

God, he’s a headcase.

We still can’t just grab a fucking loose ball. That will be the end of us tonight. 2 more offensive rebounds… and so Tech gets the last shot of the half.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 7:42 PM EST reply actions  

I am really impressed with Calvin

Tons of rebounds and goin aggressively for steals.

CJW playing well on offense.

Alex Johnson actually made a jumper.

That about does it for positives.

by TVP on Feb 9, 2012 7:45 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions  

up 2 at half

what a turd of a half

by ginger avenger on Feb 9, 2012 7:43 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

That's the worst fucking effort I've ever seen for a halftime lead...

I don’t give a shit if we’re winning – I’m pissed.

Then I realize – we’re not going dancing anyway, so it’s all trivial.

Are you drunk or just depressed? (i am drunk)

But I imagine he sound like the shittiest Italian impression ever. “i-uh like-uh basketball-uh. Bellisimo!”

I can't keep track of what's good anymore

Winning is good. Losing is bad. Everything else is too complicated.

By the way – three f’ing McD’s AA’s? Wow…

Fuck, I get so tired of us failing on tip follows – why the fuck won’t we just grab it????

And where the fuck is Lo’s head tonight?

Did I read something this week about good FT defense?

I don’t know why they even let Steven write on this blog. The man’s an idiot – somebody call security.

I'm just going to pretend GT is a bad matchup for us or something.

I’m fine with barely winning.

If you disagree with my opinion, I will take it personal and hate you forever.

Scott with the ball handling & the harm

I said ball handling – that was cool – heh-heh…

Shit – he missed it….. ah well…..

“Honest effort” is such a back-handed compliment.

"Harshness that basketball ability"

aka “Stop being such a dumbass.”

by Panthers FTW on Feb 9, 2012 8:15 PM EST reply actions  

Harshness?

I’m assuming a typo, but it seems like there is some real possibility here – “Don’t you try to harshness on my ability!”

by acc_10k on Feb 9, 2012 8:17 PM EST up reply actions  

I meant "harness" indeed

Got your wish - for Ga Tech

That was a blatant fucking walk – before any foul – and the foul was a play on the ball.

These “Flagrant-1” and “Flagrant-2” rules are horseshit….

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:20 PM EST up reply actions  

aimed for the ball

pretty much called it based on the reaction

Alex Johnson made a three?

Wahoo.

Johnson........ for a 3??????

And that was off them….. another terrible call.

I've come to realize something from my time here at BTP

I really like expressing myself by saying “fuck”, “fucking”, and “fucked” here. Thanks for that, Steven….

Everytime he says "honest effort" I cringe.

It sounds so condescending.

I will not watch them in the MAC, I will not watch them in the WAC. I will not watch them here, or there, I will not watch them anywhere.

Thanks for using your powers for good

But you also weren’t worried about any number of football games this year that should’ve been easy wins.

Just sayin’…. ;-)

Shit - Scott shoulda hit that one

And shouldn’ta hit the shooter on the other end.

This is the only way we can lose – stupidity.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:50 PM EST reply actions  

So a question

When we KNOW they’re gonna foul, why would we not just put it in Scott’s hands and leave it there????

three possession game

Yep - that's it

Doesn’t have to be pretty. Would strongly prefer it – but 4 road W’s? Would never have projected that.

Wouldn’t have projected losing to both Tech & UVa at home, either…

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 8:57 PM EST up reply actions  

GT eFG% - 33.1

Sweet mother of God, that was awful

by acc_10k on Feb 9, 2012 8:57 PM EST reply actions  

I'd like to name

Steven as the MVP of the game. Good prediction karma, grasshopper.

by PeeDub on Feb 9, 2012 9:01 PM EST reply actions  

Between Wood and Howell

we have two of the most bizarro foul call drawers in the ACC.

by PeeDub on Feb 9, 2012 9:05 PM EST reply actions  

They're proudly following in the footsteps...

… of Cam Bennerman, Kenny Inge, and Damon Thornton.

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 9:05 PM EST up reply actions  

So I have to say it

If either Ga Tech doesn’t go bat-shit-hot against us at the RBC… or if we don’t take a rear ramming against UVa at the RBC… we’re in 1st by ourselves right now… 10 games in.

Of course… I honestly see no way we win more than 1 of the next 3 (FSU)… with a 3-game losing streak most likely.

Ah well – let’s enjoy it…

by wolfonthehill on Feb 9, 2012 9:05 PM EST reply actions  

OK

Steven, your MVP is back on.

by PeeDub on Feb 9, 2012 9:10 PM EST reply actions  

Is it just me?

Or has WOTH gotten increasingly bitter as of late? I mean, I know you were always a little pessimistic, but dude, I’m starting to worry. Everything Ok up there?
