I think you just disrespected the whole town of Silsbee with that score... Silsbee by 7 [/quote] I use reverse psychology! You and I both know I want Silsbee to win. I just don't know if the refs will let them play aggressive as they Re use too. For some reason when Silsbee goes to Sour Lake, the ticky tac fouls seem to occur. I'd hate to see us in major foul trouble early. We got to defend even better than last game. [/quote] I call it a hedge and you are preparing everyone that, if Silsbee were to lose, it would be the fault of the referees.  When you play aggressive man to man defense there are some pluses and there are some minuses.  You must live with both.

Dickie and Santa- Be sure and look at your special message which will be in the front window of a black four door sedan backed in a parking spot right in front of the gym

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1168635" timestamp="1328034059"] The article states that Coach E. admitted that he did not see his team going undefeated early on. This guy understands basketball.... ::) [/quote] Yes, he obviously understands and he has exceeded his own expectations.  Another good quality in a good coach.

I have a feeling you are going to get a response that suggests one coach met both of the criteria you mentioned.

;D

Dont say that.  It creates the appearance that we agree on something

Yep, see you at the game.  Be sure to check the special greeting I will  have for you and Santa in "the" parking spot.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1168573" timestamp="1328027654"] This game is all about pride and bragging rights. Thats it! The true test will come during playoffs to see who gets to Austin. ;) [/quote] Just as last year, this game will NOT define the season of either team.

How can you hate Bird?  After all, he was the product of a version of "Da Hood" while Magic came from a relatively wealthy family?

Hmmm- Odd- I interpreted all of this talk being about how good the dunk was and not who it was on.  Where did you get the idea that Perkins being the defender was of significance?

Good- now all you will need is a competent lawyer and the resources to keep him employed for as long as need be

Maybe he was "just kidding".  Come on, man, lighten up!!!

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1168508" timestamp="1328022155"] SteveNash your wild! [/quote] Santa- If you get there early enough, perhaps you and Dickie can fight over which one of you is going to take my parking spot.  It's very convenient to the front door.

[/quote] Special achievement? really?  ::) [/quote] LeBrons comments were on ESPN.  Watch and listen and reach your own conclusion.

Just kidding?  Too sensitive?  Would those comments imply that EVERYTHING you have said here in the last week or so should be interpreted as "just fun" rather than factual?  If so, are you willing to accept the responses as "just fun"?

I apologize.  I was thinking that if LeBron considered it a very special achievement, that you would also.

[/quote] Relax, man...it was not intentional....goodness!! ::) [/quote] I am relaxed.  Do  you believe that someone who potrays themselves as somewhat of an expert on a topic ought to, in order to validate that portrayal, deal in facts as opposed to statements that simply make a story sound good?

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1168482" timestamp="1328020306"] I will as soon as you show me where I said Boutte was the ONLY one who could do it..I am not offended in the least. I KNOW the deal...I was there...Most with opinions about Perk's progress were not..I understand that some are looking from WAY outside...I know the work that had to be put it, because I put it in with him! Thats the difference that I was trying to explain to you...Its ok, man...I am not mad at all. If anything, saying that these guys that Boutte coached were JUST talented and THATS the reason why he was successful, could be seen as offensive...But I am not mad..I understand though. [/quote] What troubles many of the posters on here is your inference that ONLY Boutte could have helped Perkins achieve what he did in high school and that is SIMPLY untrue.  I am glad you were there but that ALSO DOES NOT make your inference accurate.  If you did not intend to make that inference, permit me to suggest you give some additional analysis to what you say to make sure that you words are not interpreted in a manner you did not intend for them to be interpreted

Absolutely and UNEQUIVOCALLY not.  NOBODY said that he did not have a good experience at Ozen.  That is simply how you have chosen to rebute those who don't agree that Mr. Boutte is the ONLY won who could have made it possible for Perkins to go to the next level.  Once again, show me where it was said that Perkins came to Ozen NBA ready.  Dickie- this is a return to issues of the past.  You make statements that simply arent true and when someone calls you on it,you are offended.
