I have kept my mouth shut (as far as predictions go) for the first two games and the results were good hence I respectfully refrain.

I think we enought length to disrupt Prudhomme (sp) on the block and in the perimeter.  I worry if we can close out fast enough on shooters like Bosha.  Thus far, we have been able to do that.  If we can come out and set the tone early in the game and not let H-J's press bother us, we'll be ok.  I think this team will have to match up with us on defense.  In that case, I like our chances.

If you are referring to matching up man to man, I beg to differ.  I am of the opinion that if you are not shooting a decent percentage from the perimeter, it might not be as easy as you think.  Furthermore, I dont think you have anyone on the perimeter to stop Prudhomme from getting a shot off unless there is a 6'3" guard that I dont know about.

[/quote]We have some athletic kids that may give him trouble.  I've seen him play before and I Know Prudhomme is a beast.  At the same time, who will check Smith?  How will keep our bigs from having their way down low?  Also, what will H-J do if we are able to figure out your pressing defense?

[/quote]That may work.  Actually, that's a good idea.  Our players have not proven yet that they can CONSISTANTLY hit the outside J.  We can hit them, but i'm not sure about consistance.  This will show me a lot about my team.

Two other starters are 1/2 inch shorter and 1/2 taller than Prudhomme and sub center is 6'6"

[FlyingHawk]

Persohn- 6'3"
Carr- 6'8"
Johnson- 6'3"
Bosha- 6'4"

Sorry- Johnson is not 6"3 and since he is a Central transfer, there is not much sense in telling them that

[BMTSoulja1]

Impressive.  You have a REALLY big Big, I see.  Where the heck did yall get those guys from?  I didn't see them the last couple of years we've faced yall!  ;D
