PimpMario Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I tried to move on to the PSU game but I want at least 1 more day celebrating the OSU win. Mike Peltz had the play of the game that had me cheering the most. Towards the end of the first half OSU had a fast break transition off a turnover and it looked like Smith wass going to foul their player going to the basket. Peltz literally dove in front of Smith, blocking the shot but more importantly drawing the foul so that his teammate didn't get his second foul just before halftime. It was a hustle play and it it was as heads up of a play I have seen in a while. I think I was the only one in the arena standing and cheering loudly for that play. Way to take the bullet for your team and teammate Peltz! bobcat402, seaofred92, jdostal and 2 others 5 Quote
hskr4life Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 If this were hockey Mike would be our enforcer. Quote
BenJammin63 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure Mike pushed Leslee out of the way just to take the foul. I'm also pretty sure Mike just wanted to tackle Craft too. But I mean who doesn't want to tackle Craft? Quote
BenJammin63 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 If this were hockey Mike would be our enforcer. Get two more Peltz and we could have the Hanson brothers on our team. Quote

Way to take the bullet for your team and teammate Peltz! That is one of those plays that actually shows up in the STAT sheet as negative but instead it was a huge positive. It was an incredible play. I was cheering as well. Quote
PimpMario Posted January 21, 2014 Author Report Posted January 21, 2014 Good to see I wasn't the only one who was cheering. A couple people around me were giving me looks like I was crazy cheering for a foul. Quote
Swan88 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 When that happened, I also cheered--thought that was a brilliant move and effort by Peltz! Quote
bobcat402 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 i was clapping watching the game on TV, telling everyone who would listen (my nephew, and bulldog) that is why he needs minutes for the grimey hustle play he has. Quote

doc1394 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I was afraid they would call it flagrant. he sure showed some speed there though Quote
Norm Peterson Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Pimp, as I recall, the whole arena erupted anytime anything bad happened to Craft and especially on the play. Great hustle by Peltz. The most amazing thing to me was that he was able to make a legitimate play on the ball so as not to get called for an intentional foul. There were other really fantastic plays as well. How about the one where Leslie Smith rushes down to defend a one-on-one fast break, gets in front of the guy and strips it clean on the way up, THEN has the ability to stay in bounds AND flip it off to Ray Gallegos? That was one of the most amazing defensive sequences I've ever seen. Quote
jdostal Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Walter had a great hustle play on a breakaway as well. Quote
Chad A Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 I was up cheering, seriously heads up play and a basketball play too... he had a lot of ball on that. Still a foul. Kind of play that brings a team together Quote

Kind of play that brings a team together Speaking of a team that is together, did you else notice that when someone made a hustle play the other fours guys were over helping their teammate up off the floor.

Kind of play that brings a team together Speaking of a team that is together, did you else notice that when someone made a hustle play the other fours guys were over helping their teammate up off the floor. I did notice that. It was on a play that Shields made, maybe drawn a foul, he barely hit the floor and they were over there helping him up. I like seeing that. Quote

I wonder if, through our Scarlet and Cream colored glasses, we see that as a "great hustle play" but others would see it as shady and dirty as the Gibbs flying suplex of Petteway earlier this season. I still stood up and cheered when it happened! Quote
jdostal Posted January 21, 2014 Report Posted January 21, 2014 Maybe they could see it that way, but it wasn't a hard foul and he didn't threaten Craft's health or anything. Nothing excessive. Quote

I noticed that too. I enjoyed seeing that last night, because I think that is a part of having good team chemistry. I think we are finally starting to grow as a team....which will eventually lead to more wins. Quote

I still stood up and cheered when it happened! I don't see it that way and I don't think any reasonable basketball fan of neither team would view those plays in the same light. Peltz was able to get down court fast enough to make an actual play on the ball -- not even a hard foul -- that prevented an easy layup and forced Craft to get the points at the line instead. Two things separate what Peltz did from what Gibbs did: 1) not a "hard" foul; and 2) actual play on the ball. The two aren't even comparable in my opinion. jdostal and throwback 2 Quote

But I am a homer. It did look to me like Peltz deliberately cut off Smith, but maybe that was because he thought he had a better play or because he didn't think Smith was going to actually block the shot. I have never had a problem with fouling a shooter at the rim, but if you are going to do it DO NOT let the ball have a chance to go in. Quote
