The Warriors got another win today against Fort Myer. The game wasn’t that impressive but some key issues need to be addressed with this team. Our defense was so terrible, as if we were just playing not to lose. Coach Banks did his best to fire us up but nothing worked. Granted we were just better than the opposition we need a tune up on the offensive end. At times everyone takes bad shots and we need to focus on swinging the ball to get a better shot. Most teams are scared to play us man to man so they just sit in a 3-2 zone and pray that it will work. This zone causes us to just settle for jump shots and play a very slow game. Understanding this, the Warriors must continue to push the rock to get into an up-tempo type of game.
In the second half Coach Banks went with a smaller and quicker line up. We went into a full court press which wasn’t effective at all but we did get a spark on the offensive side of the game. With this small line up of Smitty, Clemmons, Hill, Boulware, and Driver we push the lead out to double digits. Not taking away anything from the BIGS on the team but there are times when this smaller line up will work. Driver got a slam dunk and it just crushed the spirits of Fort Myer. Once Fort Myer adjusted to the smaller line up Coach Banks countered bringing BIG HAUSS and Twin back into the game. The Warriors finished the game missing free throws down the stretch but holding Fort Myer off by a score of 77 to 70. (Please note that the Warriors continue to struggle making FREE THROWS! Hercules, Hercules lol)
Maybe the Warriors are looking ahead to this weekend’s tournament against the CIVILIAN SECTOR at the University of Maryland’s campus. Maybe the Warriors were hung over with the crowning of L. Boulware’s MVP trophy in the All Star game the day before. Maybe the Warriors wanted to help an old teammate that plays for Fort Myer the player known as PROSIS aka “P SIZZLE”. Maybe the Warriors are thinking that if we play bad that Coach Banks will figure out that we love running HERCULES at practice… YOU CAN’T SMOKE A ROCK!!!! One thing is for sure we will get another shot at Fort Meade in a couple of weeks and if we continue this type of “MAYBE BASKETBALL”………… you know what’s going to happen, just read BLOG #2.
There is a BROTHERHOOD that is being built with this team and the only question that remains is……….. WILL YOU BE A PART OF IT?

DIE REF'S DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Warriors have finally begun to play team basketball. Over the weekend the Warriors played in the Capital Classic sponsored by Coca Cola. Even though the Warriors didn’t win it all they played as a team and gave it their all. The Warriors ended up 2 and 1 in pool play earning them the second seed only to face our nemesis Fort Meade in the first round.
The Warriors knew that this game would be another tough one but we were confident that we could get the win. Fort Meade came out firing like they always do and it seemed that the Warriors would be done early. The referees didn’t help by calling touch fouls against the Warriors and allowing Fort Meade to just beat us up all game long. At the start of the game the Referees claimed that they were going to let us play tough but it seemed like that message was only for Fort Meade. By the half Fort Meade led by three.
The second half was very exciting and it showcased what each team did best. Fort Meade put on the signature press that caused several turnovers early. The Warriors hit some big shots and finally started to play defense. Late in the second half the Warriors were down by 10, Coach Banks called a time out to get our heads back in the game. He told us that we would not just give this game to them but if we continued to play hard we could close this gap and win this game. We came back out and did just that! We ending up closing the gap down to three and with seven seconds left we had a chance to send the game into overtime.
Okay, here was the game plan, Coach Banks wanted us to push the ball up and have our two best shooters come off screens looking for their shot. Lamont Harvin took the ball out and we had to go the entire length of the court. He passed the ball to Brian Hill who was getting bumped and fouled. Once over the half court line the play that we wanted wasn’t there, so Hill took it upon himself to make the shot. He pulled up from the three point line and kissed it off the glass for “THREE!” The gym went crazy; no one could believe that he made the shot, especially the Ref’s. They called Hill’s shot a two pointer and this was unbelievable. The referees said that they didn’t see the play and this was simply poor officiating. It took the scorers table to overturn the decision and they finally gave us the three pointer. We ended up getting the ball back after the shot because of a turnover by Fort Meade. We had a shot to win this game!
We took the ball out underneath our basket and had the best play called for us. Big man Andre Hall passed the ball to L. Harvin who had a great look but just missed it by inches sending the game to overtime. In overtime, Fort Meade dominated us from the tip off. Their two man game plus the three referees was just too much for us to handle. I don’t know where these referees came from but they did not call this game fairly. The Warriors down low game got fouled on every possession, but no calls were made. But on the other end every time someone touched a Fort Meade player the whistle blew time and time again. Fort Meade ended up winning the game with lots of help from the referees.
After the game there was some heated discussion between the Warriors coach and the head referee. Coach Banks made it clear that his crew cheated his boys out of this game by calling a terrible game. The Warriors saw something in Coach Banks that inspired us to know that the only thing we need to do is play basketball and let the coach deal with everything else. I looked at the players after the game and even though we lost the game we didn’t argue at each other or walk out of the gym with our heads down. Instead all I could see was a group of guys ready to play again, ready to go to practice, ready to lace up our shoes and get back to basketball. Fort Meade, you guys played a great game and I can truly say that both teams gave the fans probably the best game this season. If the Warriors continue to build this type of chemistry of playing good team ball and depending on each other to win then ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!
During the game Andre Hall said something in the huddle and I quote, “Hey guys I know we are down, but lets get back in this game together and don’t take it upon yourself to do it all……LETS PLAY TEAM BASKETBALL!” At this point I saw the transformation from a team of individuals to a team of BASKETBALL PLAYERS willing to die for their Battle Buddy! This is a battle people, a battle where only the STRONG SURVIVES!

BULLDOGS WE GOT YOU!!!
The performance of Brian Hill for THE LABTECHS in the last three weeks has been OUTSTANDING. He is averaging 50 points per game. I don’t think that Walter Reed has WITNESSED this type of success since the year 1909 when this great hospital was founded. When you see this guy play you will be shocked with every three pointer he hits. One after the other, they just keep falling into the basket. Many scholars call this phenomenon “DA ZONE” but I will call it the “O ZONE” because Mr. Hill's game is in the stratosphere.
But THE LABTECHS have built a solid unit thanks to the BEST COACH IN THE LAND, Coach Banks aka “MONEY IN THE BANK.” The coach knows that the core of the team starts with the BIG MAN on the inside and he surrounds him with excellent talent. Even though Coach Banks lost one of the key ingredients, swingman, Joel Cavanaugh, aka “C MURDER” he has still built a very competitive team. Every year THE LABTECHS search for a solid point guard and once again we have landed a very good one without a doubt. Mr. Buoy aka “NO NEED TO WORRY, I GOT IT” is controlling this team like a remote. His knowledge of the game and decision making in distributing the ball allows us to score at will. Then you add in several key role players and it’s CASH ON DELIVERY!
One of the most improved players from last year Mr. Corey Chaplin aka “C SQUARED” is finding out that he can find good shots within this offensive system. Coach Banks has stayed with him from day one and believes that he will cause some matchup problems in several games to come. We will be without Mr. Chaplin for the next two weeks because he is going on a well needed vacation (bring me back something lol). But the biggest surprise this year is the new additions of Mr. Brooks. Mr. Brooks aka “SECURITY BLANKET” is probably the most versatile player on this team and maybe the entire league. Then you toss in “THOSE BANG BANG SHOOT UM UP ALLERGY BOYZ” and our team is complete.
Before the Game the team got together and talked about how much fun we are having playing under the direction of Coach Banks. The team has dedicated this season to our hardworking Company Commander and we promise nothing but excellence for the entire BULLDOG NATION!

MY LIFE: BEFORE THE LEVEES BROKE
Being a part from you has gotten the best of me. And I know in life there are no guarantees. Every time I look in the mirror these weary eyes tell me more than words could ever say. Too many times we keep going on when the end is drastically near. We keep pressing on without regard of oneself or the individuals around us. Although some things may change and others stay the same, one thing is for sure time will wait for no one. And like time one must move on.
I wonder sometimes where you are and will you ever come back. My heart tells me that you are not far and I will see you again. But when you have given your all to only realize that you went blind a long time ago and it is gone. You look deep inside to find out where you went wrong but in the end the answer was right there. Why did you have to go away, why did you leave so soon? I don’t understand why you left, wasn’t I good to you? I did everything that I was supposed to do. Didn’t I? You were so good to me for so many years and you mean the world to me. And at this point you just walked out of my life without saying goodbye. You broke this old heart of mine into so many little pieces. What am I going to do, living my life without you?
I remember holding you so close as if you were a part of me. I gave you everything you needed and more. With every key stroke it seems like I am going places that I have never been before. The tranquility is now misery, will this disharmony ever leave. You let this one BEING break us a part. I thought that you were better than that. I thought after the hard work that I put into this relationship would help the foundation stand for years to come. I dream of you almost every night, eager to open my eyes and you will be there. But as soon as I wake my nightmare begins. And I wait to return home, to live inside my dreams.
If I would have just looked at the signs maybe I could have escaped before the rain arrived. Before the flood came and washed away everything dear to my heart. Before the winds destroyed everything that I hoped to love and that which I grown to love. The only thing left is to just pick up the pieces and move on to another LIFE.

NO BIG FACES, ONLY CHANGE!
Well the new starting lineup is out and a few of the regular starters have played their way onto the BENCH! Yes, I hate to inform the entire NATION but SMITTY is now a bench warmer! But I am not by myself, so just take a minute and clear your mind because the next player who will be sitting beside me, you are not going to believe. ARE YOU READY! The driving force behind the offense Mr. Bobby aka “SGT HIGH FLYER” will be off the bench as well. The starting shooting guard, Mr. Wooten aka “Its Lonely at the Top” is sideline by injury. The starting point guard Mr. Q aka “BURN SLOW” is sideline. So I guess you are wondering who will be starting now and here is the lineup:
Point Guard a 4 foot 2 inches, 110lbs (w/boots) – B. Hill aka “I Live for the 3”
Shooting Guard – M. Monroe aka “White Mike”
Small Forward – L. Boulware aka “BEWARE”
Power Forward – G. Cannon aka “P.K.” (Patapsco KING)
Center – A. Hall aka “DA BIG HAUSS”
So what is the new direction that the coach is trying to create? Maybe he wants better shooters on the floor? Maybe he is trying to open up the inside? The pressure will be on the PF G. Cannon, who hasn’t lived up to his potential thus far. During the offseason, there was a lot of upside to his game and everyone was ready for him to don his Warrior jersey. But if he doesn’t stop playing as if he has been living on Mars for the last month or so I assure you that Coach Brian will have Cannon’s seat ready! Maybe we should give B. Hill the green light because when he plays for the mighty LABTECHS no one has stopped him yet! It is good to see that Boulware has found his way into the lineup. Right now this team is like the Phoenix Suns we don’t know if we want to run, slow it down, or just play good solid defense. We should take a page from the LABTECHS and put the pedal to the metal and RUN, RUN, RUN! (Mental note: the assistant coach for the post team is the head coach for the LABTECHS…. Marinate on that one!)
So what is left for the rest of the team? As for me, I HATE COMING OFF THE BENCH!!!!!!! But if this is going to be my new roll then I will embrace it like a TRUE LOVE! I am eager to see how everyone adapts to these changes this weekend. We play two home games against McGuire Air Force Base on Saturday (3pm) and Anacostia on Sunday (1pm). The entire nation has been promised change and I guess one may say that CHANGE has finally made its way into the WARRIORS STARTING LINEUP!

WHO WILL BE THE LAMB?
I think it is time for the Warriors to come together and WIN IT ALL! I am asking each member to look deep inside and let us come together as a cohesive unit. We have put our coach in a tough situation since the preseason. And if the coach is reading this, I WANT TO BE GREAT! So what is it going to take Warriors? It will not be another disappointing season! The SACRIFICE, the surrendering of everything as a team is the only answer. The SACRIFICE and understanding that we all have to SACRIFICE to get the job done is essential to VICTORY.
So where do we begin on the road to redemption? Maybe we should start at practice to build the character of this team. I for one haven’t been committed to practice for a long time now. I would tell myself that I am getting a better work out by just doing it myself. But the one key exercise that I am missing in my own conditioning is that of building team unity. Yeah I love going to the gym individually but if I want to win I must do it with my team. Coach, I think that we all have heard your voice when you said that you will only be a part of a GREAT team, not just a talented one.
Who will step up and be the leader that we need to align our strengths and cast out our weaknesses? Who will step up and be the leader that we need at practice? Who will step up and command from the front and not the rear? Who will emerge as the BACKBONE of this team?
And finally, who will be the last man to say that I contributed to the BEST Team that the WAMAC has ever seen? WILL IT BE YOU?
There is a BROTHERHOOD that is being built with this team and the only question that remains is……….. WILL YOU BE A PART OF IT?

"GIST" AN INTERVIEW
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to speak with a member of the Fort Meade Basketball Team. I have to say that Mr. Gist is one of the most HUMBLE players that I’ve met in a long time. He is a laid back individual but on the court a true assassin. When speaking with Mr. Gist aka “G- MONEY” I had to keep my rage under control, lol. To hear him speak of my WARRIORS was startling at first but as the conversation/interview went on I grew fond of him. G-Money knew all of our strengths and weaknesses! AMAZING I TELL YOU! I hate to say it but he knows a thing or two about basketball.
First, we talked about how his team always ends up victorious against the WARRIORS. G-Money spoke of the lack of a killer instinct that is missing from the Warriors. He pointed out the last game, in which they won against us, and how we were up most of the game but inside their huddle they knew that the opportunity for them to seize the game would come. Basically, their main objective was to wait for the mental breakdown of our team and then they executed their game plan to perfection. G-Money talked about how on the defensive end they would wait until our primary ball handler Q aka “BURN SLOW” would exit the game and then they increased the pressure. To think of it now, every time he was on the bench, Fort Meade went on a run to close the gap!
Secondly, we talked about how our best player is our weakest player. You might be thinking how this is so, but wait I will explain. Mr. Driver aka “SGT HIGH FLYER” is indeed the best talent that I have seen in a long time and the sky is the limit for him. G-Money did note that they keyed in on him because his defense isn’t as good as his offense. Fort Meade exploits this match up every time. Attacking SGT High Flyer disrupts the Warriors flow on the defensive side of the ball. It is demoralizing to see the best player struggle to stop his man on defense allowing each team to just trade baskets. Subconsciously we begin to get down on ourselves causing the natural disaster of this team. Instead of buckling down on defensive end, the Warriors begin to argue, playing into every opponent hands. G-Money did say that there is no answer for SGT High Flyer but they will continue to allow him to score and focus their attention on the disruption of their challenger’s team chemistry!
Thirdly, we talked about one of the veterans on the Warriors, Mr. Lance aka “BEWARE”. Mr. Lance is one of the most underused, underrated, and underappreciated players on the Warriors team. Even though he has been gone on different missions in the past two years, the coach has to find some way to get him involved consistently on both ends of the court. G-Money has stated that Mr. Lance plays the best on the ball defensive and you have to respect his jump shot at all times. Maybe the respect that many of the opposing players have for Lance comes from his years of playing pickup games at the Field House. I can say that when I first saw him play he impressed me with his knowledge of the game and willingness to JUST SHOOT THE BALL! Maybe Lance hasn’t found his place on this young and undisciplined team.
It was good to sit down with one of Meade’s finest players. Even though we battle each other on the court from time to time we both find the time to sit and talk. I must tell one of G-Money’s secrets…. HE MAKES THE BEST SWEET TEA and HOT WINGS you will ever taste! You can say he definitely gets busy in the kitchen as well as the court. And just maybe, just maybe he will whip up something for the WARRIORS, lol.
