The thought process beforehand is what keeps things like this from happening. He should have walked away no matter what she did. [/quote] I agree with your last sentence in the fullest
  2. Give him another chance the girl admitted she initiated the contact he shouldn't have touched her but I'm sure he regrets it and learned his lesson
  3. [quote name="bullets13000" post="807910" timestamp="1275330789"] UCONN women would get slaughtered in all but maybe one or two of these games.  Yes UCONN has great shooters, but those set shots and "jump shots" where the much shorter female guards elevate a jawdropping 4 inches off the ground will be continually swatted into the stands.  yes, uconn has talented posts, but the tallest player on their roster is 6-4.  at best against the smaller schools, they'd have an inch or two size advantage, but that would become irrelevant when faced against opponents who can outjump them by 2 feet.  Their talented guards could conceivably be better skilled than some of their opponents, but they'd be at such a disadvantage in the speed department that even if they got around someone, the defender would have more than enough time to recover, and if not, whatever wild layup that is let go from 2 or 3 feet below the rim is going to get swatted by help defense.  also, the ball moves much slower in the women's game.  the much quicker boys would consistently pick off passes, and nobody on the court for UCONN would have a chance of getting back and contesting fast break layups.  those long, looping cross court passes that you see all the time in the women's game would be turned into a lot of easy baskets for the boys.  I just can't imagine a scenario where UCONN could get anything better than hurried wild perimeter shots and forced, circus-type layups down low.  And that is just on the offensive end.  Think of the defensive nightmares UCONN would face trying to defend any one of the Texas boys' championship teams.  There is absolutely no way that they are fast enough to keep up in a man-to-man defense, meaning they'd be forced to play a zone.  The boys would be able to move the ball much faster than the zone could adjust, leading to as many open three-pointers as the boys feels like taking.  If the shots are not falling, they could either easily penetrate the zone and drive, or dump the ball down into the post, where a girl who can barely jump up and touch the net would be forced to try and guard a boy who mostly likely can dunk without trouble, even if she's in his way (and that's not taking into account the players who they might face who are actually taller, or much taller than their posts).  On missed shots, the girls might be fundamentally better at blocking out, but that would be irrelevant when the boy on her backside is fast enough to go completely around her, or can jump up and over her, using his much longer arms and leaping ability to take the ball without causing an over the back foul.  So, although I'll agree that a well-coached, fundamentally sound basketball team is preferable to an athletic one, in this case the disparity in athleticism would be so great that it would nullify the advantage in fundamentals and coaching, especially considering that these teams never would've won Texas state championships if they didn't have great coaching and fundamentals of their own. [/quote] That pretty well sums it up
  4. I don't think there was one for EC last yr we were undefeated until our playoff loss and if we played them again it probably wouldn't be any prettier.
  5. Celtics D will win it our bigs are better (Pau is probably best offensively but our D is far superior down low) I think we'll let Kobe have his 30 or whatever we'll shut down everyone else though because he's dangerous when he's getting tons of asst

[/quote]he's eating twinkies as we speak  :D [/quote]  And practicing his golf swing? [/quote] There's no practice that will help that swing lol
  7. Probably both will be taken back
  8. The clowns on espn were talking like we lost the whole series last night
  9. You've gotta be joking Dirk doesn't get a nod over any of the big three
  10. The only reasonable trade would be Dirk+several others which would leave lebron in the same boat he's been in
  11. 2 things win the Celtics games there's not a hole in the defense and transition offense has been on point
  12. Wow
