Shipp's version
Josh Shipp said he cleanly blocked Donald Sloan's shot with three seconds left.
``There was no call, the game was over,'' he said.
Asked if he touched his arm, Shipp said with a smile: ``I thought I got all ball.''
A link to the photo is on the blog entry entitled: ``Was it a foul?'' It's a must-see.
Shipp stunk it up from behind the arc, not to mention they were wide open ones. Can the guy buy a bucket?! Non-factor and frankly disappointing.
He has lost the swagger. Bruins ran double screens for him and he tried to curl off tight, but shot just isn't falling. He is usally a much better shooter when set, but can't hit those right now either. Collison is the hot hand, go with it until it doesn't work.
To paraphrase Jim Mora, Sr. "Draft?"
Not a foul unless the official blows the whistle. Lots of things aren't called in the course of a game.
Josh needs to start hitting some mid-range shots or get back to the days of old when he would slash to the hoop and throw in a bank shot. Why he has abandoned that part of his offense and settles for treys that he rarely makes is beyond me. I'll take two points or the possibility of a traditional three pointer over no points and momentum busters anyday. He's one of our better foul shooters so he needs to get to the line to get more points and get involved in the offense.
One of many questionable calls in the game. I'm not sure why you and Brian feel the need to obsess on this single one. Maybe you should look back at the game and tell us if you think the officiating favored UCLA, Texas A&M or was pretty evenly terrible.
Ship has lost it on offense which the Bruins badly need. Has put us in position because of his lack of offense to loose 3 games recently and yet in two of those 3 games made plays down the stretch that have helped us win the game.
That is what makes Ship, Howland and the Bruins special.
One more thing,
I hear Shipp has strep and is on antiboitics and not feeling well. Is this true?
