on regular television, it was a strong pick.
on hdtv, you could see wally pull out a billy club and wack marbury on the shoulder.

ahhh, the wonders of high definition television...

the pick was fine. Marbs is just whining.

Wally definitely braced his shoulders in order to make the pick more foreceful.

you just started this thread so you could post a pic of your fav commercial. Oldie but goodie.

Maybe true, but I wondering if Marbs is doing the blame thing again.

Pretty boy soft Wally set a clean pick and blew his shoulder is tough for Scowlboy to swallow!

That is what Wally is supposed to do, otherwise he bears the brunt.

oohah

There was a time our guys set solid picks like that and we loved them for it.

Sad day when we have to wish our guys were as tough as Wally.

I think Mo Taylor's stepping up!

It was clearly not a regular pick. Usually a player gets picked off by bumping into the body of another guy who's standing still, arms down. Wally's pick on Stephon resembled a hockey check more than a basketball pick-- he had his arms up and made contact with his shoulder, and he was moving into Steph when the contact was made. So I can see why Stephon would be pissed. I'm not sure if Wally was pushed or not, but on replays it does look like the hockey-check-like pick was mostly unintentional-- he looked like he was kind of stumbling and the look on his face suggested he picked up his arms and stuck out his shoulder to brace himself for an unexpected impact. But of course that's not something Stephon could have recognized on the court as it was happening.
