    I'll come off the bench, just look out. When I get traded I'll turn into the eventual MVP and lead Canazano's team to the championship.

    I'll give you a pass since you haven't seen us play yet, but the only way you're winning that championship is if you stay on our team. I'm a pretty humble guy usually, but we are that good.

    I really think you guys have the perfect three man team. Each of you with your respective size, excel in the skills your position needs.

    D, as point, is quick with a solid pull up jumper, great handles and nifty passing. Knows the picknroll very well and communicates constantly.

    Bones is the perfect wing man with great handles who can drain the three or drive to the hoop right past you. Can also play point to mix it up even.

    Hoop to me is the X factor. Great handles for a big man, can bang down low with good footwork and feel for where he is under the rim.
    But,
    Hoop might have the best three point shot on the team.

    I think the team can win it all but it will be harder with Hoop playing down low all the time.
    If Hoop gets hot and drags the opposing big to the outside to create open lanes in the paint for D and Bones, I think they will dominate right to the championship.

    Last year defense and age mattered most.
    Any foul is 1 free throw in this tourney & after... 7????? it's two free throws for any foul(including charges).
    The refs were highly questionable.

    But it sounds like Torey and I won't be the only two able to slide our feet defensively this year.

    I think I did a good job guarding him, just holding position (which against him, is almost impossible) and then going straight up and making him score over me. It was unfair with both of us on the same team though.

    I wish we played halfcourt the whole time.. Would've been better basketball.

    I thought that was funny. I hit two shots that (not to be cocky), pretty much no casual player can stop me from getting off. I'm 6'5 using a swift crossover into a quick mid-range pullup that I get lift on... It's not the most efficient shot, but if there's not much that can be done to stop me from getting it off... I used it at least once in every game last year, and nobody got close to blocking it... It's a tough shot to guard.

    But the answer definitely isn't to switch 6'6 guy off of me and replace him with someone who's 5'8... That shit was funny. The way he went about it, it seemed to me like he thought he could stop me from getting that shot off... Yeah right.

    Golf Daddy Kerr man...

    I think @hoopsjock is gonna be our bread and butter.

    We should dump it to him in the mid post area and then cut to the basket a lot.

    Lmao. I had to pullout some basketball lingo on his ass for that.

    Space, move, screen, and keep the court balanced, and there will be enough space.... It's halfcourt offense... Lmao.

    I just want him to not even look to pass if he has an advantage. Beast down there and it'll make them double or at least it'll make them pay less attention to the weakside and us off the ball. That's when we'll really be able to get open.

    Last year we played at 8:30 and 12:30 on Saturday. Hopefully it's more like 10/11 this year.

    Screen away around the perimeter will be the main thing that'll give him space. Just want to keep both of us weakside at least. Could also keep on of us on his side since we're good enough shooters that if they did, we'll have a quick, open spot up. We'll figure it out.

    I played pretty well especially early on. I was hitting my shots...two game winners. Got a little winded playing full court. Used to playing halfcourt. Played hella good D. Played against 4 different defenders, only one made shots on me. He only made 2. I also had 2 blocked shots.

    According to sources, John Lukrofka (@HCP) is indeed, NOT a hooper.

    All three of you have a smooth shots but hoop is gonna be the most important. He is gonna open up the paint for you to lay it up time and again.

    @hoopsjock feeing the pressure build now? The fate of this forum lies on your success or failure this coming weekend. I know you won’t leave us wearing bags on our heads whenever we discuss this place right? Lol
