We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast of the KBA season 3 opener for this Throwback Tuesday, circa 2010! In place of exciting KBA action, please enjoy this important moment in KBA history:

In the trenches, you may have missed my (unfortunate) weekly bashing of Andy.
This is around Game #3 last night. All game Andy would HOLD me every time I tried to cut. He was actually defending my shot for a change, so to counter that I would try to do curls and cuts. But, couldn't because he held me. I actually made a great move to the basket on him (that would have probably ended with a missed layup), but never got far because he held me.
That's the set up.
So, one time when we were coming down the court, I stare him down as he's coming to guard me and I say "Hey. Don't fucking hold me." Poor guy was like a dear caught in headlights--I felt awful. He said "huh?" I couldn't stop now... "I said don't fucking hold me. You're holding me every time I'm going by you." Wide eyed, he said "ok, got it."
Man, I felt like a jerk. Although, what am I supposed to do, call fouls when he's holding me? I had to do something right?

p.s. Dude, when did Ronnie become a turnover machine? The last two weeks, he's averaged like 10 TOs a game (and we only play to SEVEN, so that's like 100 TOs in full game). He's unstoppable.

The truth is, the fat lard doesn't KNOW any better. He just doesn't know how to play basketball. He think he's playing good defense, when at the minimum, he's maneuvering his arm and massive adipose tissue into a blocking foul EVERY time you get within a foot of him.
I missed that exchange, but I did hear Eric (aka Player-Ref-Chairman of the Rules Committee) say to you: "when me and you are together, we're unstoppable." Or something to that effect. Since Eric seems to always pick teams, I guess you better get ready to be on the same squad with Eric a lot.
Did you catch his "moving screen" call on game point? Like we couldn't have called a moving screen on Mike every 20 seconds.
Man, I hate having that guy around more than Bellman.
Ronny is feast or famine. He can be spectacular sometimes, but he gambles too much on defense reaching in and going for steals. Tries too many risky passes on offense. Man, I sound like Charley Rosen right about now (http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/

You're so spot on about Andy. I think what I was probably more frustrated by was that I could't seem to do anything against THIS guy.
Man, these Tuesday night things are a GOLD MINE for stories! That Eric quote got lost in the shuffle! We should do a weekly blog, there is SO MUCH STUFF!
Yeah, Eric said that to me and I thought "how come this guy doesn't put me on his teams more often then?" HE PICKS THE TEAMS ALL THE TIME. But, now that you mention the chance of me ending up with him, maybe we should just shoot for first 5, second 5?! Ha!
He stopped the game so that he can call a moving screen? Really? I think Eric doesn't realize he's essentially cheating--whereas Bellman knew very well that he was cheating.
Dude, I emailed one of my basketball playing buddies (former D1 player and D2 asst coach) about that Jump Ball call and how it was ours because we had "next". I thought I was losing my mind. By the way, did you notice how I said the following sentence OUT LOUD so that everyone can hear Eric's claim and how ridiculous it sounds: "So, Eric, you're saying there are 2 categories for who's got next: (1) Jump Balls and (2) Everything else?" Anyway, my friend emails back: "You need to stop playing basketball with these guys. Immediately."
It sounds extreme; but, considering all the above (Andy, Eric, Jump Balls, Bellman), it's not such a radical idea. If only we could get Nirav, Nigel, and even Adam Howard back.
Ronny is feast or famine; but, he's always a head-scratcher. And he whines about fouls all the time.
We both sound like Rosen now.... 2 whining old men.
All that said... can't wait for next Tuesday!
