The help is there, I didn't seen them play but I heard that the game resembled a bad NBA game. Dribble down the court and shoot. The "twins" are only two players and it takes 5 to play. I'm not knocking the King boys but it seems that nobody has faith in the other players on the team. Deming could do something if they would come together as a team and not worry about how many points one scores.

 

Tell me who you would want to have the ball when the game is on the line? The difference the other night was they were able to finish their shots and I thought the other guys did a good job getting the ball to the people who were scoring. I thought the team played together. Although it could still improve in that area.

 

Your right on the point that people shouldn't worry about who scores what. But a player has to recognize who can score and who can't on their team. Some will be scorers, some rebounders, some ball handlers, and defenders. When everyone realizes their role then you have a complete team. When all the guys for Deming can recognize their strengths and weaknesses then they will be a very tough team to beat.

 

Overall a good team effort and a great win to start the season for the Devils. My little word of advise for the guys would be to ignore all the statments that can tear a team down. Trust in yourself and your teammates and stick up for one another on and off the court and your success will come. Jealously is a very dangerous thing for a team and don't let it invade YOUR team!

 

Good Luck the rest of the way!

It sure was one of the most exciting NBA games I've seen! I agree that it takes 5 to play but you have to put the ball in the basket to win games. If you don't score you will never have a chance at winning. Everyone on a team has a role to play. I think that some of the players don't really know what their roles are. Not all players are good at scoring but every player can contribute whether it be rebounding,defense, etc.......

You said it well rupp!

 

What happens if you lose one of your "scorers" to sickness, injury, ect. then you would have to rely and someone else to fill their shoes. I'm not saying everyone on the team has to score the same amount but you have to have other options. IMO a role player is your greatest asset because every night they are there doing their job and they don't get the recognition of the "scorer"

Who said they don't get recognition? Just because their name is not in the paper or in the box scores?:sleep:

Earlier you said the King boys needed help? If I was a player and I heard that I would think that I am being overlooked....

I agree STML your greatest asset is the role player. I remember a player from augusta a few years ago by the name of packy hinson (coach Jason Hinson's younger brother) who was a great role player, every night he was out working hard and took at least 5 charges a game. He never got the publicity, i doubt there is 10 people on here that even remember him. Another one i remember was a bracken kid by the name of Michael Cannon who i think was a good role player because he made a difference when he was on the floor, he was a very smart player who did what he had to do every night. Neither of them got recognition and their names were in the box scores...

I am 1 of 10 who remember "Packy", he knew his role and did it every night and didn't complain about recognition I guarantee it. As long as they got the "W" I'm sure he was happy.

The "twins" can play. But as soon as Deming plays a team that can play defense, they will get beat by 20 points. All they gotta do is shut the "twins" down and win the game. Teams will soon realize whos taking most of the shots for Deming.
