These f-ing passes are driving me nuts

You probably know what I'm talking about.

It's these half-assed one-handed underhand scoop passes I've seen our guys tossing to each other the last month or two.

Ant, Donte, Jaden, Julius. I've seen them all do it.

I don't know if they think they're getting some kind of advantage by tossing it like that to catch the defense off-guard, or if they think it looks cool or whatever, but it's leading to turnovers and I don't have any patience for it.

Every possession counts. Why are these guys tossing around these inaccurate, slow, turnover invitations? These things look like winged ducks out there. It's not even a pass, more of a lackadaisical toss.

*breathe*

Ok, got that off my chest. But seriously, I'm I alone in noticing this and getting annoyed by it?

I thought i was overreacting to the first time I saw that pass. It looked ok as the receiver was close, less than 10'. But these 30+' passes are dumb.

I know exactly what you’re referring to. It’s one of the things that has had me repeatedly questioning this team’s intensity. IF they think those passes look cool, they’re delusional.
