"MAYBE BASKETBALL"

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?
