Up coming basketball season predictions

Turk is a problem and so are his parents. If their son doesnt get what they want, they complain.

We had to take time from one of our practices for our coach to tell us that he is the coach and if players are going to go against him then they shouldnt be there.

The kid's a virus

You're kidding, right playbooy? Turk will be extremely missed this year. You heard it yourself from Dave Bailey, who said that without the big man the Bisons are just and average team but with him they become very tough to beat. You may disagree with me, but I think that, no matter what, just having a guy that is 6'8" on the team is a huge aid. With him teams wouldn't be able to focus as much on Harris as they're going to do. Sure he made some big mistakes last season, but without him the Bisons will probably make just as many.

Turk did nothing all year. He slacked off all practises. Coach yelled at him plenty of times.

Without turk we will be able to run a fast break offense. I'm not worrying about missing him, i know we'll make the playoffs.

[11th man]

Bedford will most definately make the playoffs, but I think they would function much better with the big man. In my mind he did do something last season, he played. Any player with his size takes up a lot of space and therefore regards some sort special coverage. Not only did he take up a lot of space and garner the D's attention, but he also had several decent games. He was tough on the boards, at time. Just work hard guys, so that you can prove me wrong. Make me believe that Turk isn't missed.

[playbookboy06]

I know that none of the players are going to miss the guy. It opens the court up for people who are dedicated to the game and arent going to complain about playing time.

You answered your own question 11th man, turk had SEVERAL decent games.

[ham55]

Would somebody please tell me the last time he had a good game, what game and what classifys as a good game for him. Im in agreement with playbookboy on this subject, there is no way the bisons will miss him this year. Yes he did take up space, thats about all he did though. He would get the ball, have to jump maybe 6 feet at the most to dunk, but would he, NOOOOOOOOO. He would insist on trying to dump the ball in and miss over 70 percent of the shots he ever took. Prove colorblind boy wrong and prove the rest of the fans right that turk was not a help, but a thorn in the side.

[11th man]

It's great that you guys don't miss him. It's just that I think there will be a big void left to fill in the middle. I guess you'll never see my side of this so I'm not going to argue any more. You may not like the person he is, but he was an asset to have.

[playbookboy06]

The only asset i see in him is that opponents think they have to double team him, which leaves the rest of the team open.

Turk was a huge body inside....he was able to pull down the boards and clog the lane from opponents. Of course we'll miss him!

[voncap]

You may not miss his attitude (as you proclaim it was poor) but I agree with 11th man he will definitely be missed on the court. Guaranteed! A lot of the things a player of that size does doesn't show up on any stat sheet. Altered shots and a help presence on defense are prime examples.

If I was coaching against the Bison and to clarify playing them either way this year is going to be difficult, but I would rather play them without him then play them with him.
