I know a bunch of you aren't 18 but for those that are, PLEASE GO VOTE TOMORROW if you can. Doesn't matter who you vote for, but just go vote.

Looks like we are finally getting our manager fired (he's been working like 3 weeks so far or something). We called the district manager today with all our complaints, and he may be out by next week.

So we should be hearing about a workplace shooting spree in your area soon?

Don't tell me my advice is going wrong also. How hard could it be to set screens and hustle it out? I understand your shot may not be going down and such, but then you can build off that and try different things. If you are wide-open and can't make shots... start making good passes. Good passes are really easy to make when you are wide open. Especially if you use that room to dribble in, draw a man on ya, and then dish.

I really don't know what other advice to offer. You have to be more in depth in your posts rather than just saying your performance is sucky. Why is it sucky?

Can't make a jump shot to save my life, I'm not big enough to go down low and get rebounds, I usually make a stupid pass or two a game, and every part of my game goes downhill when my shot isn't falling, which is all the time. I seriously can't help but get disgusted with myself every time I miss, and that causes me to get lazy on defense at times. Most of it is just me getting extremely down on myself when I screw something up. I can't just "shake it off", I dwell on it and then it just piles on top of each other.

I wish I was old enough to vote.

I just want the damn political ads on TV to stop. :y4:

Not unless my coworkers and I kill him first.

He's the definition of a douchebag.

I love political ads myself, they are often hilarious. The ads Kerry Healey has been running against Duval Patrick in Massachusetts have been killing her.

Yeah... it's going to sound like stupid and general advice, but it has everything to do with your confidence and how you get on yourself after screwing up. Playing without confidence will always kill your game, and getting angry after missing shots is the number one no-no. My little brother is a fantastic basketball player, and has the shooting ability of a Varsity star, even when he's only 13 years old. Every shot he shoots falls, but when he misses a few in a row (and since he's immature it only takes about 2-3 misses), he gets down on himself and whines. "I suck!, I'm complete garbage!"... at this point every aspect of his game takes a complete hit, and plummets to the floor. He is not even a shade of the player he usually is, and that kind of attitude will do that to you.

They're amusing at first, but then they just get repetitive.

We already know how screwed up Harold Ford's family is...no need to rehash it.

Dude, just play and enjoy the game. And if you're not practicing 3-4 days a week, don't be surprised at the results.

Basketball is all about confidence. The worst player THINKS he is good and the best player in the world misses shots and turns the ball over.

Stay confident and have fun, your game will be getting better before you know it.

edit: I didnt see x*cell's post....

I just hope they don't clutter up the TV screen tomorrow night during Friday Night Lights with election poll results!

Sometimes they override my HD programming for weather crap, they better not do it with election stuff.

You should vote for better school funding so they can teach you proper spelling.

Then do the research and find out who you would prefer. I don't understand why people don't vote.
