A chop for anyone that defends a missed layup

1/29/2012 11:11:32 AM

i thought the first Johnson miss he "thought i'm gonna dunk this" then realized he's 4'-10" and just threw the ball at the basket.

1/29/2012 12:37:42 PM

The thing is, the guy can seemlingly dunk pretty easily, there were videos before the season of him slamming it at the dail complex

Sorry, I didn't get on the googler yesterday but today I am issuing Alex Johnson a chop.

Alex Johnson - Issued a chop. Offense: Trying to show off by attempting a finger roll on an uncontested layup and missing it because he lacks the skill to do so.


This chop has been ruled IRREVERSIBLE, meaning any future plays can not be used to offset this chop. This is because his offense cost us a game and his just general terrible play all season.

If Slave or heynow want to vote against this being a chop they can, but obviously anyone voting against this chop is crazy.

Why didn't Johnson just do this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKk7ErJ9uZw

1/30/2012 10:13:23 AM

^^^he should get another one for missing the layup right after his first miss

1/30/2012 10:22:46 AM

The whole team is already getting a chop for the worst game they've played so far this year

2/1/2012 9:05:32 PM

or the coach?

2/1/2012 9:51:03 PM

whole damn team should get a chop for this shit

He is no Nate Robinson.

3 chops for wood.

This thread is one of the most inane things I have seen in Sports Talk in years. I thought it would go away, in which case it would just be par for the course, but unfortunately that isn't the case. It just feels like trying too hard to invent some sort of meme - like wanting to be the guy who invents Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon and encouraging all your friends to play. But whatever, it's the internet.

2/10/2012 12:31:17 AM

1 chop for ^ that guy

He can't just buy his dunk package?

People keep bumping this stupid thread out of boredom, I guess. I've never even heard of "chops" until this thread. Apparently it's either a frat thing or something from some TV show watched by like 3 people.

2/10/2012 12:23:38 PM

hoops/pinkandblack/tke thinks "that's a paddlin!'" is less faggy/fratty. i don't get it.

if you haven't watched workaholics, you should.

2/10/2012 12:49:20 PM

Jasper is not faggy. Simpsons>whatever this Comedy Central's latest replacement for Crank Yankers is.

2/10/2012 2:53:36 PM

simpsons is great, but jasper is gay.

2/10/2012 3:47:17 PM

Scott wood has been issued a chop.

CHOP: Scott Wood. A culmination of fouling shooters and committing intentional FOULS almost every game.

2/10/2012 7:51:12 PM

to be fair, that was a pretty lame intentional call last night

2/10/2012 8:05:46 PM

^^and missing fucking 3 FTs

I mean what the fuck scott

2/10/2012 9:06:38 PM

for real though, he gets in foul trouble way way too much.

2/10/2012 10:00:45 PM

chops for the entire team and coaching staff. can't blow a 20 pt lead against anyone.

2/16/2012 11:22:21 PM

^ I think the chops were coming from Duke

2/16/2012 11:28:06 PM

Chop on Lorenzo for stepping on the sideline when noone was even close to him. Come on Zo.

2/17/2012 12:16:33 PM

^
and Wood missing FT ans still not being able to use screens correctly. Run the Defender into the screen not away from it!

2/17/2012 1:32:00 PM

Chop on Howell for picking up his 5th foul while trying to hedge a screen at midcourt while the game is still one-possession.

2/17/2012 2:23:34 PM

Wood can't buy a basket, another wide open lay up missed by Johnson, Howell misses 4 straight free throws and is in foul trouble again.

2/18/2012 2:44:00 PM

chop for the whole team for only making 4 baskets in 20 minutes

2/18/2012 3:27:28 PM

Chop cj williams for turnovers on inbounds plays. Seriously retarded shit

2/18/2012 3:38:23 PM

^He had to have at least 4 from inbounds. Absolutely pathetic.

2/18/2012 3:39:59 PM

karl hess gets a chop as well

2/18/2012 4:43:30 PM

^ Hess gets 2 chops.

2/18/2012 4:46:56 PM

I still can't believe Howell actually airballed a layup during the Indiana game.

2/20/2012 4:46:28 PM

He got a chop for that, didn't he? Now he' .8 rbs away from averaging a double-double while shooting 50% (but still picking up a few silly fouls each game).

2/20/2012 5:06:55 PM

50% is not particularly good for a big since the vast majority of his shots are point blank

2/20/2012 11:08:32 PM

Howell is a turrible finisher around the basket, never gets and ones, and misses free throws. if he could fix one of those he's MVP.

also add stupid fouls.

getting this thread warmed up for tomorrow at 10:01 PM.

For the life of me, I can't understand why we don't run better in-bounds plays (or do we even run set plays?)

My high-school team had about a dozen in-bounds play from under the basket that we ran. Almost every time we ran them, we got an open shot. I don't think I've seen us run an in-bounds "play" all season. Mind-boggling, but maybe college teams just don't put as much emphasis on this.

2/20/2012 11:27:07 PM

By college teams, you mean nc state. Plenty of college teams run good out of bound sets.

2/21/2012 12:53:47 AM

see: florida state against us.

2/21/2012 1:21:58 AM

My rec teams in elementary school had some pretty good in-bounds plays

Apparently you guys only recall the last few games because we have gotten quality close-to-the basket shots all season from our inbounds plays. Surprisingly, plays don't work as well when you play teams that are very good defensively. Of course, that's also why your high school team was so successful too.

Did someone finally kill face? If so, let's let this threat die.

he had to get his stomach pumped after binging all night and most of the next day after the duke game. he'll be back after he sleeps it off.

2/21/2012 4:29:05 PM

^^^agreed. our inbounds plays, aside from the last couple of games, have been very good. we've gotten a lot of easy baskets for wood (others as well, obviously...but wood in particular) off of under the basket inbounds plays.

2/21/2012 4:42:25 PM

HEY, LOOK EVERYBODY

I SAW SOMETHING SOOO FUNNY ON WORKAHOLICS

2/21/2012 6:26:48 PM

^ you're one of those guys who acts like farts aren't funny and used to invite friends over to watch you play Ecco the Dolphin.
