What is wrong with maplewood

[rltaylor]

Well here we go there are a number of things wrong so let me state some bubba taylor's shot is off due to football,injury and 20 pounds barry gardner's inside troubles (does not like contact) ricardo's shot is there but some selfish tendencies are surfacing, jamal's not being aggresive enought, but thank you brandon buttin,the bench is suspect but thats to lack of exposure but even in that frame players need step up when the time comes,players cant even remember playes now that kills me, and last but not least someone else needs to step up and make the big playes in the fourth quarter besides bubba taylor, you just cant put all of the big game's on his shoulders then if he blows it then people want to cry. but as i say crying is for cry babies and there have been too much crying and not enough stepping up to the plate. Maplewood playes to the level of its copetetion ala Hillsboro instead of blowing people out which is what they can do but wont and i only hope they snap out of what ever is goig on because if not maplewood will only be a team that could have been instead of a championship team. :confused:

good pts , i was wondering the same things myself. but i haven't seen them play besides the jamboree. thanks for the insight.

 

you are right about barry shying away from contact. he should be dominating. i hate to see him against some of the big men from memphis.

Don't jump off the boat yet; remember only two starters back from last year's team. Yes, the chemistry isn't there yet, but we WILL get it right! Hang in there! The kids are just not playing with the right attitude yet, but that can be cured. If it isn't cured by the end of the year, well it is my fault. We are working hard, but right now we are not playing well. I never count the Panthers out! If YOU do , then watch out. Maybe we should be proud we have won 3 games without playing a real ballgame. HUH?? Nuff said.

well coach i could never get off the wagon ,maybe next year though but if they do not get it together it wont be on your head. Even though we as bball critics think we know all i tend to go with what you say since you have been in this business a lot longer than we and maplewood needs another direction to go in but you cannot do that if your players wont step up and i understand the coaching bit from this summer so my hat is off and finding a good coach is not always easy to find. Every child will not fit in anyone's program and as parents even we get frustrated with the hole process so when coaches say well you can take your child somewhere else i say dito because if your child is not happy then he or she will never be able to function properly and thats a no no. It's just better to find another place to go but you have my upmost respect no matter what you say because deep down i know you have always had my kids best intrest in mind and i thank you for it and all the others should too but they maybe could not see the whole picture at that time.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR OWN ADVISE FROM THE POST YOU MADE TO MCGAVOCK.

[rltaylor]

You are right because we have the talent its just i expected more out of them even bubba but timt will tell all teams need time to jell and that means the wood to its just the potential is so much but we really do only have two starters back so we are probably where we should be.

Well Maplewood is looking better and better each game and i guess it was due to both players (ricardo & bubba ) playing football with bubba's injury and lack of cohesivness but as always the wood starts slow and then ends with a bang. Jamal richardson's aggression and defence looked awesome. When ricardo,bubba and jamal get those three going like in the summer world you better look out because it will be blow out city with a capital B.
