Mitty absolutely belongs in the open; Eastside is just that good. Donovan Blythe is in a class by himself. He is able to get blood from a rock. He treats his players with respect and care and in return expects 110% from them. They are always well prepared and willing to work for him and each other. It doesn't surprise me that they won tonight. You can never count out a team coached by Donovan Blythe!
 
i know escp...is good
this is on sue...i have said for years sue is above average...
donovan is freaking genius
you give donovan the feeder system sue has...

freaking usa basketball coach gets spanked

St. Francis also beat Palo Alto and will face SHC in the semi-finals. Pinewood and ESP go at it for round 3 in the other semi.
 
1) SI beat Palo alto tonight.....

2) Scotts Valley had a chance to get SHC tonight but missed a ton of FT...something ridiculous like 2 of 12 with 5 misses on the front end of 1on1.....

3) Mitty losing in the FIRST round means no open for them...D2 should be alot of fun in the Norcals!!!

just think....what kind of a mess it would be if Pinewood loses to Eastside and SI loses to SHC? not out of the realm of possibilities....then what?

Northbay sounds like you are saying some teams are run for the Norcal Open this year. If ESCP beats Pinewood we know their is some to real say then. Just like last weeks topic Some Serious Tanking is that happening if Pinewood lose next week. All these teams have to say is that they want to win a State Championship the easier way then have to go through SMS. So with that saying should Norcal Open have an option for teams to deny being thrown into the open. Does the State Championship mean that much that teams don't want to play the best to be the best?????????????????
 
NO NO NO NO......Don't put words in my mouth Baller....lol

all I was trying to say is that Eastside is pretty good and so is SHC...and its not out of the realm of possibilities that 1 or both could win.

If that were to happen, what a mess the open situation would be.....would you then take 3? or 4 out of the CCS?
 
They should only take 3 because Pinewood going to beat ESCP and the Pinewood will lose against SHC that I think beat SI because match problems. The only way Mitty goes to the Open if ESCP wins the open by 10 points or more. CCS will have 3 teams I think SHC, SI and Pinewwod.
 
If SHC wins the CCS open so be it, they are open bound....If they don't, they shouldn't be IMO....10 losses?

They are currently 15-10...if they lose to SI 15-11....seriously ...open?

The schedule has been absolutely brutal...no doubt.....but you need to win more than that don't you?

I just don't see it......UNLESS they win the CCS open...
 
WOW SI lose to ESCP 6 players. These teams this year are going to give the CCS a bad name. Tanking comes in all different way keep the game close and lose in the end is the way to make people think not going on. So can anyone tell me how a teams win big games all year then lose to a team that only have 6 players. So tell winning a state title in their own division mean that much. Last year that was Pinewood lose and get put back in their division. So is the CCS take turns who going to the open and I'm not saying all CCS teams. I give to SHC standing up and keep winning no scared to play SMS.

I know since the Norcal Open started some team have been on a drought of making it to the state final. I guess tanking is an opinion these days. I call like I see it with no sugar on top.


Jazzpt55 I know Mo Green is going to try to defend Mitty, SI, and Pinewood. If I agree with you, because you are wrong.

That wont work this time because it so clear even your bad vision can see it. Cant hide this one !!!!!!!!!!!!!


THE NEW NAME THAT THESE TEAMS ARE GIVEN THE CCS IS THE TANKING SECTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I dont like Baller, but he is right on this. SI beat big teams all year, but manages to lose to a team with 6 players. The players probably have no clue, but the coaches know what to do to lose a game without making it obvious.

The "team with 6 players" has been competitive with the top teams not only this year, but seasons past. If it was a situation where they were not competitive then suddenly it changed that would seem suspicious. Just coming to conclusions because of the number of players is just the lazy way out. Do a little research and the results show this shouldn't be all that surprising.

And stop to think for a minute when you people post these "theories" you are diminishing the accomplishments of an amazing team. It's funny how you run into folks who always see the negative or something suspicious in everything instead of thinking, wow that's pretty amazing what they've been able to do. wonder how many of you have even seen these games and how competitive and hard all the teams play.

Let's stop with the innuendo guys. What exactly did the coaches do to tank? Sounds like none of you conspiracy theorists even saw the game.

Your claims are baseless so there is nothing to defend. The results didn't go chalk so obviously they tanked? Come on Chachi you can do better than that.

He can't. That question has already been asked and ignored.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, even if it is the world is flat. But a man who has never been to the beach has no business telling others how the sand feels between his toes and certainly not someone who lives on the beach if you get my drift. The only greater fool is the one who will think that person knows what he's talking about and run with it.
 
The whole tanking thing comes from jazzpt, who as far as I know has not coached at the high school level, and ballersdreams, who as far as I know has not coached at the high school level. Garcia2 I have less of a feel for ...

It's just ridiculous, really, and not worth discussing, but I do want to point out that jazzpt slanders people and institutions with little regard for the facts, and ballersdreams ignores any post that refutes his points (remember his claim that McDonald's voting is more accurate than USA Basketball Trials, among many others?).

So you have someone who constantly makes nasty and negative comments about people he doesn't like with no factual support, and someone who makes bold claims but then disappears when they are challenged by facts and evidence.

As is so often the case in life, you have to consider the source ...
 
What I find laughable is that these guys consistently contradict themselves. Baller states that "speed kills" , yet when a fast athletic team (ESCP) beats a bigger, slower team, (SI) there must be tanking involved.

Cupertino Dave (Jazz) says that ESCP coach is a "GENIUS", but when Blythe pulls two upsets, the other teams must have tanked.

Do these guys sit in their basements and argue by themselves about faked moon landing?

As much as I dislike both of these posters, they're right. ESCP poses matchup problems because of their speed, athleticism and coaching. Mitty and SI don't match up as well to ESCP as teams like Pinewood or SMS.

They are both so pleased with themselves because they are able to get a rise out of people by making stupid allegations, ala the old poster Citi. Ah, the world of the anonymous message boards.
 
letsski

I guess your can call ESCP coach is a genius because he pull out of Presentation Showdown because they where suppose to play Brookside that beat them by 14 last year in Norcal D5 semi. Just think this was without McDonald.
 
Clay

Just to let you know McDonald probably get a chance to play on the USA team this year and I heard she is on the Nike National Championship of last year team. She stock will rise and she will be among the best on everybody 2016 ranking with the right exposer that she will be give by someone that wont hide her.

Again, statements that are simply not true.

Aarion McDonald: On this board, messages have been posted that Kelly Sopak (on ballersdreams' hate list, perhaps because he would like players to play for Pico Wilburn instead) did NOT "hide" or do anything to Aarion McDonald that hurt her exposure in any way. She already has a commitment to Washington, and people have seen her play and she's tremendous.

Kelly Sopak did not do anything negative in regards to Aarion McDonald, and BD has zero evidence to prove that, and plenty of evidence to the contrary (such as she was not eligible for the top team, but chose to play for Cal Stars anyway). If she had wanted to play for Pico, she would have ...

And to come back to his slanders against Sabrina Ionescu regarding the Berkeley game. He has not responded to anything that proves that he is completely wrong in his assertion that Ionescu did anything at all wrong in the game in which Cheryl Draper falsely claimed that racist comments were made.

There is not one shred of evidence, not one bit of testimony that links Ionescu to any of this. Zero. None.

Even when the claims were made, Ionescu's name was never, never mentioned. Never.

At least the lies about McDonald don't affect her; but to make out Ionescu as the kind of person who would use racial slurs is simply despicable. She's a high school girl, for God's sake -- what do you possibly gain by making things up to suit your own agenda that would harm a high school girl?
 
I going to say this Clay and going to leave this alone MONEY AND POWER can make things go away but a TRUE PLAYER always prevail in the end. Money cant hide true talent because the true talent always rise to the top. Money can only help to hide things. Now I will leave this alone and tell a good saying " DON'T HATE THE GAME HATE THE PLAYER" . Thinks will never change just always in hiding and it will always be there.

Baller,

Just when I thought you were starting to be coherent and actually make sense, you shocked me with this follow up. Thanks for the chuckle. I do wish I could meet you in person!
 
Norcal__Fan

I just told it straight this time and some people don't like that way. But its ok I'm used to it because I don't care what some people thing.
 
So does a coach who beats Eastside prep make the coach a genius ? Or is it just a win win for Donovan and Eastside ?
 
The word genius about the coach from ESCP is that the right word to use for him. The coach knows when he walks on the floor with 6 players know he has advantage right off the bat. Refs are going to be loose with their foul call because the only have 6. My each year he only have 6 players wont u think after so many year their would be more players. So if the Coach from ESCP a genius why he only have 6 players each year?????????????????????????
 
So again, no response from ballersdreams.

Slandering a teen-age girl with no evidence and no facts. Class move ...

Ignoring facts to blast CalStars so Pico can get more players.

And no response? No apology? No acknowledgement that maybe lying about a teen-age girl is the wrong thing to do?

Do you really think you're helping Pico and Brookside Christian with this kind of stuff? Do you think this helps anyone? You? Brookside? Pico? Girls' basketball?

And you don't tell the truth, so please stop with this "I just tell it like it is and no one likes it stuff." What you do is lie, and when you get called out, you refuse to address anything that's said and fall back on the incomprehensible "money and power" thing. I'm sure checks were written and bribes were handed out to Berkeley High administrators and NCS about the Miramonte game. I'm sure there are conspiracies everywhere to deny Brookside Christian its due, and keep players from Pico's AAU team. And I'm sure the CIA controls everything from a tower on Mt. Diablo.

Lies are lies, and that's what you spread. Is that the person you want to be?
