[quote name="BMTSoulja1" post="951055" timestamp="1295451026"] I do know one thing.  In the second  half of district, I do know that both the # 1 and 2 teams in this district will have 2 more losses... [/quote] :D :D

Okay, so what will it take for HF to beat Silsbee Friday night?

4th spot? You have FOUR teams to win  playoff spot? Sheez!  Thats not a true playoff team ::)

[quote name="horndawg" post="951036" timestamp="1295449565"] It is easy to get on here and complain.......why not man up and ref a few games yourself and see how much more difficult it is than what it looks like from the stands.....but that would require you to actually do something..... Or better yet, lets make it a rule that all refs must sit in the stands because so much more can be seen from there....... PS: I am not a ref [/quote]Good post

[quote name="ST413" post="950964" timestamp="1295417678"] Nice post Lazeek!  Thats what the Tigers must have been doing to: looking forward to friday!!!! :D :D :D :D [/quote] >:(

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="950423" timestamp="1295376193"] Tigers by 56 [/quote]What? Take into consideration that HF will walk into the gym leading by 10 points before jumpball.

[quote name="stevenash" post="950416" timestamp="1295375746"] Yes, but doesnt that point guard need to be able to "generate his own shot"? [/quote]LOL!

I'm a firm believer in positioning yourself to at least have a 10 point lead on your opponent "BEFORE" the game begins. ;D

HF (2nd place)is close to Silsbee ( 1st place?)in the current district standings 8) [/quote] Maybe because both teams have games tonight to worry about first. But, if you need a prediction, Silsbee defeats HF by 30+. [/quote]dang Aggie! I was trying to set a situation where Silsbee would focus on HF and possibly lose to the team they are playing tonite. :(

Actually, HF should run the ball. Here is my reasoning: #1-The bigs! HF can control the defensive boards with smart play and make the quick outlet pass to the guard and get it going. The bigs are athletic enough to run the lanes and get some easier looks at the basket.  If the fast break is not there, then pull the ball out and run your sets. I'd work my bigs inside until they are "dog-tired' in the paint. Thats really your best chance on offense. Even with this strategy, the bigs are going to miss some shots in the paint.  I don't think HF have the consistent shooters to try and play a half court game and win with outside shooting. , but getting those 2nd opps after the missed shots/blocking out will keep them in the game. The bigs are definitely the key but the subbing is an issue too. You gotta play your best athletic players and the role players are coming in too soon and losing point spreads. HF doesn't have the pure athletic talent to keep fighting to regain leads lost because of poor subbing. At most, there should be about nine players getting most of the minutes on that team. No coach who wants to win should be subbing like they are playing in Little Dribblers. HF needs to dominate on the defensive rebounding. Reaction time is too slow in snatching rebounds. That team is too  big to let so many defensive rebounds go up for second opportunity shots for the other team. The pg should be setting the tempo of the game and get his teammates in the best position to utilize their strengths and not the weaknesses of the team.
