It's hard to tell what SS thinks because he MUST be politically correct all of the time. He always tells me "this is a message board and people give their opinions" (he says that when I respond to a post I don't like). Apparently that applies to everyone but me because he attempts to dismiss everything I say as if he's "superior" to me. He spends much time talking "down" to me which I find amusing, since I don't think he, or anyone, is better than me or anyone else. Now get ready, because here comes "rebelman" to his defense.

Poor thang. Need a Kleenex?  I still love ya, Cats. Life just wouldn't be the same without my CoachT arguing buddy.

I mean Memphis talent is great no doubt, but it should be that's a huge city. I doubt it has anymore talent than the ATL. Actually, I would guess it has less. Talk about a city loaded with athletes and that's ATL. Who's the last great NBA talent to come out of Memphis?

The Fightin' Penny Hardaways by a lot.

Maybe you could try prepradio.com. I think they might have a mobile app but not sure. BTW, prepradio carries OR games and usualy not on the air until right before the game starts.

I think this game will be close but in the end East pulls it out. Lots of great athletes on the floor so no doubt it will be fun to watch. I just think that overall East is the more talented team.

I suggest that get out more and travel West.  You'll find plenty of players that has that athleticism.  

 

I think the discussion has come down to what is the difference between a great basketball player and a great athlete.

 

I will bet my life Tee could care less about the issue. He wants to win the ring with his Band of Brothers. Ego is not one of his character traits. He is a team player.

 

With that said, I really do think Tee's ability as a basketball player is being over shadowed  by his supreme athleticism. I contend a great ball player plays offense and defense at an extremely high level and also has a high basketball IQ. Watch Tee on defense tomorrow and see if he shuts down his man or space on floor if playing a zone. Count the rebounds he gets against much larger opponents Watch his passing game. See how he puts himself in positions to receive a pass and score.

 

I do not see Tee getting dunks tomorrow. He won't lead OR in scoring. And yet his athleticism will shine through. His basketball skills will be apparent. His will and desire will be undeniable. In other words the total package for a high school player will be on display.

 

Does this make Tee the best player on the floor? You can decide for yourself after the game. The answer will be there for all to see. Right now, I have no earthly idea. All I know is Oak Ridge better play the game of their lives or it could get ugly.

 

Furthermore, look for Young, Gipson, Jones and Booker to step up their games. Our PG Smith will be pressured like never before. If I was Coach Green, I would take as much pressure off him as possible.

 

This post is not meant to belittle, besmirch, cast doubt on or any other negativity toward Memphis East. I watched the East Hamilton game, a team from Chattanooga like myself, and was literally depressed because I have always wanted to see OR win State but East is such a beast. They play their style of ball flawlessly, are well coached, deep off the bench and not afraid of Tee or any other Wildcat.

 

Okay, I think I have gotten all of my thoughts and opinions out. Now my prediction is for a great game. I hope both teams play their best and stay injury free. Whoever wins will probably face a very good Southwind team.

 

Oh, I do have an old post I want to repost It will be in the Oak Ridge basketball folder. It compares Oak Ridge to Hickory, Ind, t like it but most of you will just LOL.
