Rodman avg 15-20 boards a game and I haven't seen anybody dominate the paint like that at The Convo. I was trying to make the point that the Warriors can withstand a poor performance by one of the Big 3 a little better than Athens. When you factor as a push French-Patton-Hall/Borrows-Watson-Saltzman then who else is capable of stepping up. Against Unioto both Leffingwell and Lang stepped up provided offense to the tune of double figures. Yabs has had a few 16-18 point games and though streaky Pannell can too.93Bulldog wrote:Dennis Rodman never scored for the Bulls - but he was NBA All-star ... more to the game than just scoring WarriorBlue ... Luehrman COULD score if he needed too - but points are hard to come by when you have players like Burrow, Watson, Saltzmen and Elmore on the floor.
You obviously havn't seen Athens enough.WarriorBlue wrote:I was trying to make the point that the Warriors can withstand a poor performance by one of the Big 3 a little better than Athens. When you factor as a push French-Patton-Hall/Borrows-Watson-Saltzman then who else is capable of stepping up.

Wariorfrosh I was just saying the same thing about Patton--he is lethal, and has a 10-15ft jump shot that is deadly. Glad to see him taking some 3pt shots this yr. I would not want to guard any of Warrens team. Usually a team has 1,2 or even sometimes 3 shooters and stellar athletes. Warren has 5 on the court at the same time. Look at the all district teams and special mentions. All 5 Warren starters were either a team selection or special mention. I havent even gotten to our bench. Lang in m/o initiated the comeback against Unioto. Pannell when he is on from the perimeter is deadly as well. The rest of the bench can and will step up if needed. Athen is a good team, maybe a great team but if Warren is on they are unstoppable!warriorfrosh wrote:Now class, let's have our Biology lesson for this weeks big game....picture the Amoeba (Amoeba is a genus of Protozoa consisting of shapeless unicellular organisms)...this is the Warren Warriors 2012-2013 basketball team....a unicellular, shapeless, flowing, smothering, suffocating, flexible organism that has demonstrated it has the chemistry and capability to adapt to any opponent or challenge...the one loss in December caused this nuclear fission reaction to commence and this amoeba has grown more complex and grotesque for all opponents since....think about it, when one player is off, the others pick up....when 2 players are off, the others pick up....just about every game a different player has a monster game....TO COUNT PATTON AS A NON-FACTOR WOULD BE A FATAL MISTAKE!!

Let's remember Athens had two All-District players (1 first, 1 second) and an honorable mention. Ryan Leuhrman and Saltzman would have been honored if they hadn't been banged up for chunks of the season. Athens is finally at 100 percent. They weren't last time these two matched up. This will be a slugfest.slimgarrett wrote:Wariorfrosh I was just saying the same thing about Patton--he is lethal, and has a 10-15ft jump shot that is deadly.

Iggy25 In no way was I saying anything against Athens, as in my post I said they are a good team, maybe even a great team. What I was doing was giving a shout out to my Warriors. Sometimes people just concentrate on the leading scorer or the leader, and I think Patton is one great young man! I've said from the beginning that I dread a matchup against Athens again because 1 they are a very good team, and 2 they are hungry to avenge that loss to us! Whomever wins you are exactly right, this will be a dogfight, slugfest or whatever you want to call it.Iggy25 wrote:Let's remember Athens had two All-District players (1 first, 1 second) and an honorable mention.
