southsider2k5 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 No, I am at work... It would be awesome if you could keep me updated Did you see I had considered your application finally?

DBAHO Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 No, I am at work... It would be awesome if you could keep me updated Did you see I had considered your application finally? You were my foreign minister in charge of repressing foreigners. Good times. U.S just won 102-92 I think, Stephon Marbury was the star hittin bout 25 points with 6 of 9 from downtown. Funny scenes at the end of the game, with 20 secs left U.S must hav called a time-out to rub salt into the wounds of Spain, and their coach went nuts at Larry Brown, pretty funny stuff. So just when the server goes down, I miss seeing my application finally being considered. That'd be right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 That was a awesome ending. Gotta watch the press conference afterwards. Plus they have to call a time out beforehand. So, It wasn't really salt in the wounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our commentators down here thought it was a mistake at the time table or something, but apparently doing that at the end of the game when you are winning is disrespectful to your opponent.

MinnesotaSoxFan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Well, what they said up here is that the game could have changed anyway. Plus they wanted to change the defensive set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 Plus they wanted to change the defensive set up. But why would you want to do that with only 20 secs left, no point really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinnesotaSoxFan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 To get used to a team like that. They thought they had a set up that needed change, so they can get ready next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted August 26, 2004 Author Share Posted August 26, 2004 By the way, did any1 see the bobble catch off the center field wall in the Australia vs Cuba baseball gold medal game that was hit by our very own Thomas Brice. That single handledy cost us the gold I tells ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Here's what happened, first of all the Spain coach is a dick. Second, Larry wanted a timeout at around 1:20 in the game when the US was up just 5 points. They didn't stop the game until 20 seconds left in the game and thats when they allowed the timeout, Larry was quoted as saying he tried to take it back, but in international play thats the rules. Another incident blown way out of hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Here is a quote from Larry. Said Brown: "We had basically turned the ball over twice against their press, and you know I'm still trying to teach and win a game. But when I saw that some seconds had run off the clock, and I saw how late it was, I tried to wave it off, but they wouldn't let me. He then said that he needed to learn the rules a little better for that not to happen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 8 points with 20 seconds left? You guys have obviously never seen an NBA game. The guys never stop fouling at the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're so good at reading what did it mean He called the time out at 1:20 but the officials didnt actually call it till :20 Brown tried to call it off but under the rules the time out stands he didnt mean to show them up, thats just the way it was made out to be by the rules... Thats what it meant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 I guess it should have been put like this huh, Larry wanted timeout, Larry didn't get timeout till later, game over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
