I had the same thought. Maybe at the next time out, remind them that the rules permit this thing called "passing." And there may be teammates who are "open."
Good shot of the three stooges thinking....

Oh shit...
And you hate to see the O drop off a bit...  
ChaChing : 7/5/2019 11:08 pm : link
just to lead to low effort on D. Went from staying in contact on guys at least, to one-pass wide open shots. Awful even for rooks. Bball 101 stuff

Hey there Mrs Fiz...
Iggy is fearless.

Not good (yet), but fearless.
Trier has nothing to prove, gotta take him out to see

what the rest of the team can do.

Barrett needs to shoot a lot better to be effective. At least he’s not shy.

You can tell RJ is just trying to put on a show

Like the fact that this is Zion's night bothers him so much that he's forcing a bunch of shots.


Awful game from him. There will be better ones, but poor showing from him. Same with Iggy.



This Wooten kid is really active
Oh wow. They just had a earthquake at the game.

I'm no Zion but my first quake, I was sitting on a top bunk and jumped off it started RIGHT then, i really was like "WTF, freshman 15 already"

And you could tell all the SoCalers in the room because they were calm, almost everyone else was freaking out

This. Even the local news people here don't seem to know that. Downgraded to 6.9, which is still pretty damn big. Considering that a 7 is 10x a 6, the difference between a 6.4 yesterday and a 6.9 today is pretty big.

After sitting in my last house in pitch black in the middle of the night as my phone was sending off emergency signals, with the windows covered hearing winds of a hurricane (and later seeing that a tornado likely whipped down our street) I'd rather deal with an earthquake...

It's not that regular. 15 years in LA, no more than 10 that I felt? And of course those were all small. In that sense, WCers are baffled how people live in the snow, and that is an issue multiple times a year. I'd dare to say you're more likely to get in a car accident in the winter than injured in an LA quake (on avg!)

But clearly I'm about to go thru my first big one, we're due

Actually Albany had a few in the 4.0-5.0 range growing up. I felt one, but most were early AM and I slept through

Well, I've been through a few of them. A really big one is scary in its own right, but what really is unnerving is that aftershocks come almost continuously for a while. And after Northridge, I learned the worst word in the English language: "foreshock." As in, that could be a foreshock of a bigger quake. I remember yelling FORESHOCK????!!!

When they start, you don't know how big they're going to be. So you have that moment of "Oh shit, now what?" Then sometimes they get bigger, and sometimes they don't. This one started like "Oh, there's another one." And about 10 seconds later it was "Uh-oh." But it never got really bad. 100+ miles from the epicenter.

The scary part is that this one would be a foreshock as well if another quake larger than this occurred. That's pretty unlikely, but not impossible. A 6.4 and 6.9 on consecutive days would release a LOT of built up seismic energy along the same fault system
Good point on hurricanes

And the thing with hurricanes is that they're not exactly quick. I mean that one specifically at 3 in the morning, your sitting there for hours. Some could say "well you could have evacuated," and if we tried to go north, good luck. If we had gone west, the storm was even worse there. Hurricanes are scary shit if you get hit straight on and they're so unpredictable

Depends on the storm and the quake, and where you are. If you are near the ocean you never want to experience anything like the Japan quake and tsunami, that's one of the worst things you could go through.

The thing about a big earthquake is there's basically no warning and there's no such thing as an earthquake shelter. Your building either stands up to it or not. Your stuff is either secured or it isn't. Your walls crack or they don't.

There's a new ShakeAlertLA app that is supposed to go off and give us a little warning if there's a big (bigger than 3) quake centered in Los Angeles. It hasn't gone off because they say that the tremors locally weren't big enough. So they say it's working. But: How would we know if it wasn't?
