My mom, not 5 minutes ago, as our local CBS affiliate kept showing replays of Adam Morrison:

 

"Navin, I'm tired of seeing Adam Morrison cry, no matter how much fun it is."

Oh you ignored me? Damn.

 

I'm sorry, I don't like Redick or Morrison, but I can respect Redick, especially after tonight. When he was taken out when he know he was done, he cried, but he hugged all his coaches and teammates, and watched LSU win the game with respect. Morrison is always making a spectacle of himself on the court, whether it be hitting himself in the head with a ball, or collapsing and rolling around on the court crying. In my opinion thats not respectable at all, to the game, his teammates and coaches, or his opponents. It's okay to be emotional, but keep it under control and show some respect for yourself and the game.

ha, I had gone on to other things thinking that the UCLA game was over. That teaches me to never stop paying attention...

[Derwood]

Why oh why did I go to bed at halftime of the Texas game?

[da bears]

That was possibly the greatest sports moment in my life not involving Michael Jordan. Apologies to Kerry and the 2003 Cubs.

 

I had that feeling last March.

 

As did I, especially after that Zona game.

most basketball players look like absolute idiots when they celebrate a win. they pound their chest and jump in the air and scream at the crowd. how is morrison any different?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Arron Afflalo represents UCLA with class and dignity (this after Morrison talked crap to Afflalo all game):

Yes, that was truly awesome. Especially since I had nearly turned the game off in disgust.......ah, the memories.

that might be class and dignity, but it's also stupid. i'd have punched him in the face if he came over and touched me.

I think Raisin was too busy complaining and making excuses about that game.

Actually, I really didn't care. I hate Arizona way more than I'll ever care about Illinois.

The situations aren't comparable at all. Do you think in the same situation that Redick wouldn't be crying on the court? Crying and hugging his coaches. For what? Four years where he was great, but not good enough to get his team over the hump. Couldn't do it again tonight. Couldn't happen to a nicer jackass. I could never give my respects to JJ Redick, when all he does is get the typical dookie calls, look smug while doing so, and also bitching about every call. I guess going out with tears in his eyes. At the bowling alley tonight, the comments were much harsher than my jj tirade. Good riddance.

 

At least Morrison showed up for his team tonight.

At least man up and walk off the court with your team. There is no need to make a big scene, I just find it disrespectful to the game to do that. It's poor sportsmanship. I don't like JJ Redick at all, he's one of my least favorite players of all-time at his level, but at least he went out like a man.

What's your thoughts on winning teams players doing this then?

You definitely cheered for Zona.

[Andy]

The stupid part is Morrison can come back next season if he wants. Redick can't.

You mean when teams win and celebrate together? It's a team sport, win and LOSE as a team. Everyone loses, it's embarrassing and disrespectful to make a scene by yourself. Get back with your team, and congratulate your opponents. There is nothing wrong with crying after losing a heartbreaker, but show some respect for the other team that played just as hard and pulled out a close victory.

Only because they represented the Pac-10. I really hate Mustafa and Lute Olson, I wasn't exactly saddened to see Illinois win (and embarass Lute, at that).

I meant that go down on the court and cry (with tears of joy).

Okay, I see what you are saying. Usually that happens with the entire team though. I don't know I just think it's different when teams win and celebrate together, then when teams lose and all the players kinda go their own way. I see what you are saying, I just think that kind of behavior is disrespectful.

I guess it depends on what side of the fence you sit on. I didn't see an Illinois win in that game, nor did I see an Illinois comeback. I saw an Arizona loss, and an Arizona collapse. It was still a great game, but I saw more of a collapse than I did a comeback.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

For me, the only thing I didn't get was why Morrison was crying with 2.1 seconds left. They still had a chance at that time.

You have to give Illinois some credit for that. Arizona choked but the Illini definitely seized the opportunities they had.
