Great move by Jones there. Now he’s making Fever play defense.  #smartplay

This one's going down to the wire, folks.  Slugfest.  It's early in the season and they'll both learn something from this.  But I don't see either one being on the bubble come March.

Zero way around a tie at this point, unfortunately.

The odds are in favor of it...but you can never rule anything out.

That's right, Phil.  Fever went to two corners a little early.  

 

Let's see if Jones can right the ship.  Don't want to jinx it but there's an obvious move to preserve a tie and send this one into overtime.  Anything else would be a really bad move.

Not to pat ourselves on the back too hard, but I'd say we've got the makings of a solid play-by-play/color commentator pairing in this sport.  I'm assuming tic tac toe tourneys get streamed on ESPN3, right?  I'm in if you are.

Fever might get the yips.  It ain't over 'til it's over.

I believe 49r is on the sidelines with Jones right now. Any injury issues we need to know about?

Norm, the word is @basketballjones may have sprained his prax but details are sketchy at the moment.  We'll pass along any updates as they come in.  Back to you guys in the booth!

Obviously it was rigged before it ever started. I think we should have a special prosecutor appointed immediately. And I nominate our designated bellwether.

Thanks for the update.  Crucial move coming up from @basketballjones Could be a game decider.  

 

O is on the clock.

I am finally seeing the sort of baseline to baseline action I was promised by Dr Kenneth Sadler

...and with that move, the tie is virtually guaranteed!  Wow!  What a dogfight to the bitter end!  Folks, I know it's early in the season but we may be looking at the top two contenders in this year's tic tac toe championships!

The only way to win is not to play.

 

How about a nice game of chess?

Thanks @basketballjones for being such a great sport! Sorry to hijack the thread, it was just a golden opportunity. But what a way to end the offseason blues!

And it's on to OVERtime.  (In my best Dan Patrick voice.)

Or is this like soccer where Jones a I get 1 point a piece and the fans go home disgruntled and wonder why they went to the game in the first place?
