I was at both games and both teams will run, but if Silsbee shoots like they shot in this last game then I think they will lose. Silsbee had to play the harder game to get to the finals, period. Yates full court press is good but do give up the easy shots if your break it, if. Silsbee did not double team press in the backcourt. Could be the team they played had good ball handlers. If both teams shoot well and play at full strength it will be a great game.

Who was Yates toughest opponent this year? Houston Christian? I think Silsbee has the advantage when it comes to being battle tested. Of course it means nothing if they have a bad game tomorrow. I expect a solid 8-9 man rotation with Adams, McCain or Bush not ever being on the bench all at once.

I think Barnes can come up big tomorrow. If Yates wants to run with the fastest kid in the state, let them go ahead and try.

I agree that silsbee needs to shoot it well tomorrow.  Or at least not shoot it poorly I should say.  Having said that, what you point out in the presses is correct.  Yates sells out to try and force turnovers and score off the turnovers.  Silsbee primarily runs a full court man, but will jump into a trap if available and will jump passing lanes.  Ultimately, there’s is more of a slow you down press which also has the effect of fatiguing its opponents and will obviously cause turnovers.  If you’re going to press at this stage in the season (with elite teams left), I generally prefer the latter.  Eventually you usually run into some guards who simply know how and are able to handle the press and who end up “punishing the press” in the front court.   The key is to do just that - punish it.

Here’s to hoping that team this year is the Silsbee Tigers.

Watching Yates earlier this week I was impressed with their depth. They had 3 players who were standout type players but they went 10 deep without seeing any drop off. Silsbee will have to stay out of foul trouble and keep their Big 3 on the floor if they want to defend their title. This one will be fun to watch !!

Attack attack attack the rim as much as possible and get Yates into foul trouble take smart 3 pointers and don’t just jack up a shot just because hit as many free throws as possible and protect the ball every possession is precious oh and of course hope we get a well officiated game tigers in a close one because of their experience I think they will let it all hang out today  89-85.

You can throw out the regular season. None of that matters

Barnes reminds me of a guy I played against that went to central back in the gap. His name was Lee McElroy I believe, all the speed in the world but couldn't take a lick that's  why he didn't last long in the league with the cards. So Barnes should stick with basketball and track.pays more money and less contact

Yates does not go for the offensive rebound, at least they did not in their game last night. Hit or miss on offense they quickly set up the press. With all their height they could get easy put backs against the team they played but no. Press, press, press, no crashing the boards. Silsbee does go for the rebounds. With that in mind I agree that Silsbee is battle tested more to me with their schedule. Go Tigers.  Be safe on the roads,

Yates will press in an attempt to fatigue their opponent. Yates press attempts to achieve 3 things turn overs, fast pace and fatigue.  LIberty Hill fell in that trap and by the 4th qtr they were done. From what I observed last night Silsbee can’t press for 32 minutes because they don’t have a deep bench and it would fatigue their starters. My experience is if you run a team for 32 minutes and make them play on both ends of the court the first thing that goes is their legs and the long range shot.

You are correct Yates could improve on the boards, but they were able to score 94 pts last night while probably being out rebounded.

Silsbee is out manned inside.  It will be difficult to stop Yates big men.  Basketball requires tall people usually.  For Silsbee to win their decision making will have to be almost perfect.  No bad shots.  The Silsbee defense has been very weak in the middle.  There's usually a path to the basket.  f they can't shore that up it will be a long game for the Tigers.

There's one thing.  The Tigers will probably be behind going into the 4th quarter.  Then they will turn up the intensity to a level that the Lions haven't seen all year.  I think the Lions will wilt under the pressure.  It will come down to free throws and luck, the bounce of the ball and key calls by the refs.

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
