Guys..this is what losing does to you

[oaklandPOWER]

Probably asking why his starters were in when they were up twenty with 4 minutes left, thats a real class act.

 

If my memory serves me correctly, we put our reserves in immediately after your reserves, Hockenberry and some other kid, came in the game.

Coach King was probably asking him why he kept Cutter in the whole game.

There is no one on the bench to go to, and Cutter is the best player?

Yeah you definitely still had a shot to win when we were up by twenty almost the whole 4th quarter. That is when you get some of your younger players some experience.

Chaisson is simply a general on the floor. I am so impressed with his flow....he just does NOT get rattled. Cutter should take a lesson.

WOW.....Blackman beat Riverdale??? I told you from the very begiining that Blackman was going to pull some upsets didn't I??

Blackman had a great effort, good d and had the better coach...great win for the Blaze

Thoughts from this game...

1) If Siegel had even one big guy (Montori) that would go up and get a rebound with authority...the game is within ten. The first 4 or 5 possessions for Oakland they didnt score until their 3rd or 4th putback. It was awful. Rebounding was the difference in the game.

2) The refs were just weird...I'm not saying biased towards Siegel or biased towards Oakland..just weird. They would call a touch foul on one end then somebody would get clobbered on the other end. Then would call a hand on someones back on the other end.

Another thing is...Do these referees not recognize the pump fake as part of basketball? Or maybe JJ Reddick just did that for fun when he did that to draw fouls?

3) 2priceless and others..you might be surprised to hear that Cutter only took about 9 shots. Not as selfish as you make him out to be. And also if you saw our offense. Our main goal in the offense was to get Cutter coming off screens. How is he selfish when our coach is trying to set screens to get him open? If your going to call him selfish for having the ball in his hands then go ahead but he wasn't "throwing up" shots as you put it. He forced a couple of shots but only a couple would I call bad shots His first two went down and out. Then he only attempted a couple until the 3rd quarter when he hit two 3's in a row. He wasn't on his game but I attribute alot of that to the full court pressure D they put on him. And saying he got all of his points when he went to foul line is inaccurate because he had 12 points when the free throw fest began with both teams. Chaisson had 16 at that point if your wondering as well. Cutter had 18 Chaisson had 24 to end it

4) Siegel did half of what they needed to do in this game. They made it ugly. Made Oakland shoot from the outside which they did not do very well at all. If Siegel comes close to staying even on the boards in this game. Whole different ballgame. Seemed everytime we had a loose ball close it would get tipped and land in Oakland players. Just one of those nights because from all accounts who were there...The effort is there from Siegel...Showed great effort tonight.

5) Mark Gooch is going to be a playmaker at Siegel. His block in the 2nd quarter was better than any I have seen Keith make in his 3 years. He has freakish athletic ability and his role on this team needs to grow as does Braxon Terry's.

 

Something else I noticed about Siegel is most of the players are trigger shy unless its a layup. Very few players attempted jumpshots of any kind besides Tyler. Chris Morant had one but there weren't many others until late. If Siegel can find a way to rebound...the 2nd matchup will be VERY interesting as Siegel continues to mature and hopefully improve.

Side note: Comments about the crowd--full house as expected but honestly it was about a draw in the student section battle for first half until the game got out of hand. I figured Oakland to have a field day with how much they were winning by but didn't really say too much but both sides were loud in the first half and numbers were around the same until it went downhill for Siegel on the court in 2nd half

[SIEGELdance]

yeah, that was a novel but good post.

 

crowds were surprisingly good tonight ... no super obvious lack of class besides the dude with the knife and the oakland cheerleader yelling and cussing out cutter when he accidently ran her over and apologized ... shouldve been paying attention ... but im not complaining because they both got in trouble and were taken care of. so good job all around

NOOOOO.......the situation that siegel is in with there basketball is devastating.....think about what you said "get some of the younger players some experience" ..............they are already young.......there arent any other younger players to go to.....you cant get much younger than gooch........but i want to also know why doesnt coach king ever empty the bench at least a liiiiiiitle bit

think about this.....................a lot of the players dont pull the trigger on the jumpshots because they just arent good shooters...period
