Heat and Grizzlies...

Here we go, another blog post. I find it kind of funny how I was against the same two teams as last week. I was on a my other team for both these games though.

January 30th

Seymour vs. Grizzlies

Final Score:

Seymour 22-Grizzlies 34

 January 30th

Hawks vs. Heat

Final  Score:

Hawks 17-Heat 40

First game wasn't good, second game wasn't good. Our rebounding definitely needed work against the Grizzlies. They are also very tall, which meant we would need to use a tactic known as boxing out. This is when somebody makes a shot, you stand facing the hoop between a player and the hoop. You push them out from the hoop. In theory, if the whole team boxed out, there would never be any competition for rebounds. Unfortunately it never does work this way, as usually somebody on the other team avoided getting boxed out. For us however, nobody was boxing out, meaning that they almost always got the rebound. Another thing we didn't do well was at some points we would try and cross pass it. These almost always get intercepted.


Hawks game wasn't too good either. One thing was that we missed a lot of shots. Some shots that are right up close you just can't miss. We missed a bunch of them however. We got picked off a bunch of times as well, while our picks were rarely successful. We had nobody boxing out either as well. They got a lot more rebounds then we did. They have 2 players that are particularly good. We didn't have enough defense against these players, while there were other people that were over covered.
