[/quote]True, but I also heard the ESPN announcer quote some sick percentages from Lebron when the game is near the end and the score is close..... something like 90-95% during that time. The only problem with the percentages is sometimes those "5-10%" chances actually happen. [/quote] This wasnt ANY game- it was the Celtics [/quote]Ok.............. Are you allowed to miss a shot against the 76'ers and not the Celtics?

Having a forum full of HJ supporters congratulating themselves for the next year ::) [/quote] :P Dove, The year isn't over for HJ.....I fully expect to get to play the Tigers again at regionals... [/quote] :( [/quote]Well, you see, Dove.  There's this thing called the play-offs..... and the teams that do well enough during the regular season get to continue playing basketball.  It's like a big tournament, where you get to play til you lose. Someday you might find out what it means.  ;)

[quote name="stevenash" post="965934" timestamp="1297711784"] Careful there, Poppa.  That attitude is frowned upon by many. [/quote]True, but its the way every supporter should feel about their team (or else we wouldn't be called "supporters", eh?).

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="964643" timestamp="1297452052"] 25-2, we can beat HJ ;)[/quote]Not with your current skillset.  The talent is their but not the skills.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="964329" timestamp="1297384139"] Bluedove do you think they can come back and be a better team next year? Sounds like the talent is there but some other things are missing. [/quote]What seems to be missing is just simply fundamentals.

[/quote] Bwahahahahaha. [/quote] The older I get, the better I used to be. [/quote]did I tell you about the time I scored 50..... no, 65 points in one game? [/quote] Did that game take place in Texas or in your mind? [/quote]Hey, it was somewhere in my world, and you guys are just renting space.

It was also a very heads up play by HJ when they received the back court pass from WOS that wasn't called back court.  Instead of stopping like everyone else did, it was dribble, dribble, pass, and Sutherland for 3! Incidentally, I have no clue why the ref's never called back court on that play, for it clearly was.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="963665" timestamp="1297282140"] Well here is how it went down...........Gus comes from the side and slightly behind and knocks the ball loose from the WOS player, his momentum carries him out of bounds.  He quickly makes a turn, established himself back in bounds and stole the ball which led to a fast break layup for the Hawks. You make the call!!! ;D ;D ;D [/quote]Well, the coach from WOS certainly thinks the ref made the wrong call.  He wasted a whole timeout "discussing" this dilemma with the referee. And yes, Lazeek called it right.  Gus knocked the ball away from the WOS player, but his momentum sent him out of bounds.  While the ball was loose, Gus stepped back in and CLEARLY re-established both feet in bounds before he reached out and grabbed the ball in the corner.  10 dribbles later and a quick back door pass found Bosha making an easy layup. Score HJ!!! Timeout WOS.

[/quote] I have been told by a most reliable source that while a football player cannot do so, a basketball player only need re-establish himself with both feet back inbounds and can then access the ball.  The referee made the correct call. [/quote]That's exactly what I thought.

[quote name="dawg13" post="963439" timestamp="1297257415"] THE HORNS ARE STILL not playing transition ball,Just seems like we are not very well prepared for a quick team alot of standing around like we are watching TV, you have contest every shot get that rebound that you are not suppose to get. When we rebound you have two to three players with their hand out for the ball,our first pass off of a defensive rebound is backwards,the guards need to be getting out on the wings pushing the ball up the court always wanting to attack instead of letting the defense set up,you can push it up and can always bring it back out if nothing is there.As a COACH , you just cant be satisfied with playing from a set offense with no movement.JUST my two cents. [/quote]You're absolutely right.  If you hold up, the other team can set up their press!!!!  To allow the other team  to set up their full-court press on a missed shot is absolutely unforgiveable!

Great game, Hawks.  They hustled their tails off tonight.  I don't know how many passes were tipped by our defense tonight, which really extended the WOS offense.  Those guys could never get in synch. BTW, on Gus's play where he tipped the ball out of WOS player's hands, then he went out of bounds but established himself inbounds before he took the ball and dribbled upcourt..... the WOS coach seemed to have a problem with that.  Isn't that legal, provided Gus came back inbounds completely before touching the ball again (he was the first player touching it after he came back in bounds).

[quote name="Riding Solo" post="962964" timestamp="1297198537"] I will tell him. I see him from time to time. I graduated in 1980. I played football and ran track against Jackie Harris. He was a manchild. [/quote]I was on JV that year (class of '82).  If you didn't like tackling him, or being tackled by him, just think how much fun it was being on the practice squad.

[quote name="Riding Solo" post="962967" timestamp="1297198700"] My brother played on that team. Todd Shores was on that team also. Remember it well, Hershel Taylor was the coach. You know they did that so they would not get beat so bad.  ;D ;D [/quote]Thank you, Mr. Obvious!  ;)

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="962947" timestamp="1297196835"] Another key fact in tonight's game, Prentice Lane will play. He did not play against HF the last time, nursing an injury. Prentice is playing very well of late and I see another great game from him tonight. [/quote]Is his ankle (or is knee?) still hurting?  I thought I saw him almost come up lame in the last HJ game.

To be honest, I think I was always about 1/2 second behind on his fastball!  Dude could chunk!

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="962922" timestamp="1297194820"] All I know is, I have spoken to a few of the Tiger players and bullets, you are right, Silsbee will make a statement tonight. They want to show that last game with HF was bit of a fluke. I see Silsbee winning by 25+. [/quote]When Silsbee played HJ the first time, it was a party atmosphere.  Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with that, for the players were loose and not uptight before the game. But when they came to HJ, they were much more focused.... none of the pre-game antics like the first game.  I think tonight you're going to see that same focused team intending to put HF away early.
