[QUOTE="Champaignheat, post: 2025132, member: 747785"] I was at the game last night and have watched almost every game this season. I have one honest question in regards to how to play defense. (We do this also). A defender, particularly in the lane, is planted. The offensive player gets the ball and "booty balls" him down closer to the basket. Each dribble the offensive player bounces the defensive player back and each time the defender has his feet planted but is scooted backwards. (There was one play by I think Dainja, that he "flopped" or at least went down after the back up, no call, led to an easy lay-up). How is anyone supposed to play defense against this type of offense? Lastly, I probably shouldn't have said booty balls! [/QUOTE]
