Tonight's game at the Richmond Oval against Rocky Mountain was marred by poor officiating by the 3 blind mice. Do they ever know how to ruin a game. Some highlights: 10 offensive fouls called (including 4 on Amare; guess what? He fouled out). So did Hickson- who had 3 offensive fouls but a great game otherwise with 17 points and 16 Rebounds- 8 on the Offensive end. Horford also fouled out and he only played a whopping 10 minutes. Most of that time he was in "apparent" SAFE mode but it didn't matter as Violet Palmer continued to whistle him for 3 fouls of the reaching in, fouling on X+'s variety. It was a horrible game, and that doesn't even address the Rogues shooting which was at 34% in the first half and ended up at 40% for the game. Or their 17 turnovers to 14 assists. OUCH.
Stoudemire nabs Player of the game honors despite fouling out as his 27 points were enough to stake the Oysters to a 15 point victory of the Richmond "24 Second Shot Clock Violations" (R24SSCV) err... Rogues (RR).
