Nederland played the game right. Ozen just hit their shots and Nederland missed theirs. That's how a team loses the game. ......missing shots. Ozen was the better team last night. Congrats. You won't hear me cry about our coaching or the refs. Sometimes you simply get beat. I can admit that.

Go Duke!

I guess Dickie was too busy with Ozen beating Ned., he forgot about planning for Livingston. Great coaching

[/quote] Very well stated!!! Great post Nash. [/quote] Agree. Good post.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1172224" timestamp="1328388027"] PA Lincoln went undefeated in district play from 1985-2002... ::)    ::).......You think they were jumping up and down after 29 district wins on a row?  ::) [/quote] Who gives a crap if they were jumping up and down? You can't even get it right anyway. I assume you are jumping up and down from this one victory. Like I said, I compare to our past records. Who gives a crap about 30 year old games? I am constantly reminded of not living in the past.

I'm very pleased with 29. I don't have to compare to other teams. I compare it to our past records and it is simply phenomenal.

Unless there is a blowout, all games are won at the free throw line, or whoever has the ball last and the coach dials up the right play. You suit up whoever you suit up. The other team still has to play the game regardless of who is on the floor. Play Yates with an undermanned squad and see how sorry they feel for you. Yep Dove.....29 straight and they were all flukes.

What were you last time.......for fake?  ;D Of course, there is no way that we have improved.

Is there an Ozen/Central thread? I need to post something about Nederland.  ;D Good luck Friday Soulja.

Some of these same predictions were made last year.  :o

......29

Wrong again. Respect is earned, not commanded. You give yourself way too much credit. I will listen to anyone who makes sense. But when they start tooting their own horn, I tend to enjoy popping the proverbial bubble. I have even agreed with you before and spent the rest of the day watching out for lightning bolts.

[/quote] Well,  I see how you were back in your days. ;D [/quote] Back in my days is no different than nowadays.  Am strictly a wannabe but am able to admit it. But Dove, maybe you can answer the question I am about to pose.  In the following comparisons, tell me if the better athlete/alleged superior talent is also the better basketball player 1.  Kevin Love vs JaVale McGee 2.  Dirk Nowitzky vs Lamar Odom 3.  Larry Bird vs Dominique Wilkins 4.  Sam Perkins vs Kevin McHale 5.  John Stockton vs Nate Archibald 6.  Tim Duncan vs James Worthy [/quote]Unless its Isaiah Thomas, I really don't care. He was smart, quick, athletic, a scorer, a passer, and those are the players I liked to watch. [/quote] My favorite Isiah Thomas pass was at the end of game 5 in the '87 conference championships. Great pass to Larry Bird, who fired it to DJ for the game winning basket. Classic Bird! Love watching that replay! [Hidden Content] [/quote] Yep, I can see why Dove hates him. Bird ranks up there with Jordan and Magic. Whether Magic and Jordan had more championships than Bird, you can't leave Bird out. I sure won't.......ever.

Gee, and Dean Smith would have gone to the four corners with a two point lead and five minutes left. Imagine a fifty point lead at half what would he have done.

I couldn't care less if English does not quite have the credentials as Boutte. That fact that any coach who does not think English is great and can give him credit must have been a clip board toter. English is trying to win district, make the playoffs and see if we can take off, just like any other team hopes happens for them. How close did you "sniff" a championship as a HC? That's what I thought.

He's always on the side of the "Beaumont" teams, so I thought maybe he moved to Houston from Beaumont.

Thanks for the updates..........28!!!!!!!!

[quote name="Nederland B-Dog Fan" post="1166986" timestamp="1327699523"] Nederland has a good basketball team but i wouldn't be suprised if we lost to central or ozen or both at beaumont because they are also good teams. But i sure hope that doesn't happen.[b]  ALMOST everyone on here that is not from nederland is hater and been looking for a reason to say "i told you they would lose" for 27 district games[/b]. When we aren't playing central or ozen i pull for them and when the playoffs start i'll pull for them and LCM. Yet most beaumont fans except soulja will still pull against us. Why us that? [/quote] Do you see any crybabies from Lumberton, LCM, PNG, or Livingston? Ha Ha, gotta love it.

You misunderstand as usual. The Rockets would be the next team someone pulls out of their hip pocket to beat us. Hey, if and when we lose, we lose. I didn't think district games were important enough to bet on.
