The loss last night for the Griz was painful. Our freethrow shooting was terrible and likely lost us the game. Also Jamar's decision to pull up and shoot a jump shot at the end instead of driving the basket and probably drawing the foul was odd.

And the offensive rebounding by SF was...offensive. Too many Griz TO's, poor FT shooting...the game would have been over if SF would have shot better than 10-22 from the line.

That one is one that got away.

Eh, I don't know about that. I don't recall the drive to the basket really being there. It was a good shot, just went in & out.

There is no fucking reason the Griz should have lost tonight...well other than getting out rebounded by 20 and having near as many total rebounds as Washington had in offensive rebounds alone...and having 1/3 as many attempts from the line, and making 16 fewer...and having one of your bigs foul out in the middle of the 2nd half with 0 points and 1 rebound..

The Griz should have won that game going away. FUCK

The Griz can stay competitive with their hot shooting. Now if only they could do something else right…

You are can put words together so much better than I.

2 losses in a row where the Griz should have won, but poor FT shooting cost them...not to mention that going to the line 1 time, and 2 times respectively, in the first half of both games certainly didn't help...especially when you miss half of your 12 FT's a game.
