i agree with betruetotheblue. Silverado will win in the first round of playoffs and get smashed on by GV and liberty.
betruetotheblue wrote on February 08, 2010 01:18 PM: Let's not get too high on Foothill for playing "darn good" defense that "baffled" Silverado since they run no offensive sets, run no out of bounds plays, and have coaches that are more worried about what's going on in the stands behind them than what's happening on the court right in front of them. You have to see it with your own eyes to believe it! Foothill and Silverado will win in the first round of the playoffs (Foothill because of coaching and Silverado because of the few good players that they have left) but they will lose to GV and Liberty when it matters most. wrote on February 07, 2010 11:09 PM: A game planned that baffled Silverado. Simply being the team in another jersey color would baffle Silverado. Congrats on "only" playing high school and college - you are cool. Bballforever wrote on February 07, 2010 08:17 PM: I was at the game. And yes, collins missed some shots. And yes, they were contested. Almost every shot she took was contested or at least made her rush. Not all of them, but many. To often when you folks talk on-line it's a bit one-sided. Collins could have hit more shots, but the defense was hardly awful. Quite frankly it was darn good. Look how many shots she took. She didn't get to take her normal number of shots. That was due to defense and pressure at every spot on the court. But then again, maybe the lighting from my side of the gym was a little different. Who knows, maybe you have more game experience than me??? I only played in high school and college. Maybe it's me who is not seeing the entire game. Could have also been me that saw a game plan that simply baffled Silverado. They went inside and out. They created turn overs and, yes... made some as well. I think that at this point, Silverado is just done. They've had soooo much drama, so many critics, and bad-mouthing that their spirit seems to be broke. taking Nothing from Foothill, they are playing better and better every week. Yes, Canyon Springs and Desert Pines are out there. We'll see if FH can pull that out and get to Liberty again. FH took liberty to something like 6 points after leading most of the game and then to 4 after a back and forth game. FH lost that in the last 2.5 when a moron of a ref called a tech on Star for bouncing a ball and being frustrated with a horrible call. One thing is for sure, the Southeast and Northeast playoffs will be interesting. My guess is unless FootHill finally beats Liberty, GV and Liberty will be at it a 4th time! Good luck to all the girls and congrats on a fine season. wrote on February 07, 2010 07:58 PM: of course you can't speak for the night collins hit 10 because you had to be the foothill game that night. wrote on February 07, 2010 07:44 PM: POV, you are right. Awful foothill defense colins was open most of the night. Corporeal wrote on February 07, 2010 04:30 PM: If you believe that every shot Collins took was contested, oh nameless one, then our difference is our individual image/perception of the concept of "contested." To me "contested" means laess than 2 feet in front of the shooter with a hand in the face without being screened. Since most of Collins attempted 3's were top of the key wide open, or side off of screen shots, I would consider them "uncontested." I can not comment on the night she hit 10, just the Foothill game. To use and old saying about her shooting vs. Foothill, "If she fell out of a boat, she couldn" hit the water." Just my Point Of View. wrote on February 07, 2010 05:57 AM: I wouldnt be so sure of that. the surprise team will be canyon spring. if they dont play GV or liberty first round......watch out. wrote on February 06, 2010 06:28 PM: credit for sure goes to foothill coaches and players. the flacons could pull an upset in the tourney. once again all four teams from that division will win in the opening round. wrote on February 06, 2010 05:47 PM: Wow POV you must have been sitting close to the floor, like maybe near the Foothill bench with Observer. Just about every shot Collins took was contested. The taped broken pinkie finger was also taped and broken the night she hit 10 3s. Read More Comments |
