stevenash Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 I don't think it matters very much who is better individually since this is a contest pitting one unit against another. If the individual stuff mattered that much, Dallas wouldnt have beaten Miami last year for the NBA championship. On a side note though, if the contest were to be some type of one on one competition with height not mattering, I would put my money on Devonte Johnson. He shoots the three as well as anybody HJ has had,( in most instances) can jump quite well for his height and if he wants to go to the basket, he will definitely get there.

Three thats better than our best may be stretchng it just a bit.

Do not know enough about said player to comment on that part.

klkctt87 Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 I have only seen HJ play one game and that was against Evadale. Using the Colin Cowherd eyeball test, I have to say Silsbee looks like a more talented team. Now that was just what I saw in one HJ game and I heard they were missing a key player. I'm still going with Silsbee by 7.
stevenash Posted January 9, 2012 Report Posted January 9, 2012 I probably shouldnt have brought that part up because it obviously is speculation on my part and really doesnt matter in the game.

Was told he was seen limping a bit. definately wasn't the same rotation, I had seen in the last few games before Christmas.
Lazeek Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 I know for a FACT that Silsbee only played 7 people in the 2nd half. At least it was that way until I left with less than 2 minutes left, and then Silsbee put some other kids kids. But for the first 14 minutes of the 2nd half, they only played 7!!!!
Lazeek Posted January 9, 2012 Author Report Posted January 9, 2012 But none of that matters. You can only play 5 at a time!!!! ;D ;D ;D

It will be an interesting and hopefully good game.
