Do you consider the bask. tactic of holding the ball 30+ secs. every possession before shooting  "chicken"?

Holding the ball is a way of controlling the tempo of the game. If you're playing a run and gun team, you want to get them out of their normal game by slowing it down. Usually running teams dont have as good of half court offense. If you control the tempo, the better chance you have of beating your opponent. Also, moving the ball around for 30 seconds and getting a good shot allows for your defense to get back and force the opponent into the half court.

Well I am a Mavericks fan so lets look realisticly at what might happen....The Heat have Shaq killer center whos gettign a little age on him not a fast guy but he can block some shots and rebound...Can the old man keep up with one of the NBA's fastest teams? Will Dampier and  Diop be able to keep the man under semi control? well I say that the old man will be ok...but still defensively gonna wear himself out....Now that Wade fella he's  really talented but Dallas has already discovered that Howard can completely shut down Nash...so I'm sure he can do reasonably well against Wade...If not Dallas has so much depth at gaurd that they can easily wear him down...Dirk ....I said Dirk...Who on Miami is going to even slow this man down? Josh Howard? who do you put on Josh Howard? can your team run and gun with the Mavericks? Do they have the depth to stay rested? can the big old man sink a free throw at the end of a close game...or at anytime during the game for that matter...Sorry Miami fans its been fun but its over.

Well what I have my kids do is if the player is obviously the best on the oposing team.  I have my best and most conditioned player stay with that person the entire game.  I also dont mean stand 5 feet away at all times I mean close enought to pick his pokets.  It usally frustrates the player to no end.

Here's a sure fire, can't miss suggestion for clearing space in the paint - Eat some pork & beans and sour kraut about  2 hours before your game...When the defense bodies up on you down in the post, BLAST 'EM!....and be sure to complain to the ref and blame someone else so you don't get a technical foul called on ya for being technically foul!

all the things you said sound good. as well as develop a mid range pull up that way once you beat your man, or have him off balance its easier to get that shot off and you can pull it before you get to the cup where the help is. Once you get a few of those down the defense will start to step u to stop that, THEN it makes it easier to get all the way to the basket. The key is dont always do the same thing keep the defense off balance. Take a few shots you know you can hit like a mid to short range jumper or pull up, then once you get them thinking jumper, drive. Also if you beat your man, and someone steps up to block your shot that means someone else is open. So on that same note, once you get them thinking okay he's a shooter, then start passing, or get them thinking he's gonna pass and then shoot. KEep them guessing. But first you have to take what they give you and use it against them. \nAnd all that being said do the little things play defense and rebound first. Mkae them work so hard on the other end that they are too frustrated to try and stop you.

a dude has a toy(the ball)\nanother dude wants it,so he jumps on the first dude and takes it from him.\nnow the first dude's buddies don't like that at all so they try lay a smackdown on the guy who took the ball,now his buddies come to his defense and we all jump on each other and have a great deal of fun kicking punching and rubbing each others faces in the ground.\nsometimes you accedentaly smack your own teamate in the scrum but never fear,he will return the favor soon.\n\nthere are rules but I never learned them,why complicate a perfect game??!\nlol!\nthat's why I never made the team!!

I'm in the same position right now but i'm about ready, I've been doing interval sprints...thats were you sprint as far as you can then slow down till you catch your breath and your heart rate slows a little then repeat. Tons of jump shots, tons of lay-ups, and do plenty of ball handling drills. Also jumping lots of rope helps in getting your hops back. I've been doing this for about three months now while watching what I eat and I've dropped 22 lbs . I do alot of working out at the gym too but most of the running stuff you can just do at home.

F#kc that, don't relax, you need to focus, right now you are choking, when you shoot layups you need to go up like no one is around you and just focus on getting the ball on the glass. You need to play with confidence and under control....You will be fine.

You may already be using these techniques as a B player, but many don't, so here's a couple important things to always keep in mind when playing.\n\nAlways move back to center court immediately after you've hit the ball.  (For obvious reasons, you dont want to get caught in the back or front of the court or too far to one side, giving your opponent a larger gap to shoot for)\n\nDon't chase the ball.  Racquetball is a game of anticipation.  Watch your opponent hitting the ball and anticipate where the ball will be on the court when it falls into your sweet spot.  Run for that spot, set up, and wait for the ball to come to you.\n\nPractice, Practice, Practice.  If you want your shot to get better, practice it by yourself in a controlled situation, until you have it perfected.  Then it will be there for you during your games, if you use good anticipation and remember to set up for each shot.  \n\n(This all assumes that your a B player and already use the proper grip of the racquet, and know the basics of proper swing mechanics.  If not, you should concentrate on these.  I've seen a few players that were good enough to play B, but still used poor swing and didnt hold the racquet correctly.  Lots of overhead shots, lol. But most likely they'll never improve their game significantly beyond that)

Up your b---, down your spine\nCould you play defense this time?

If you even have to ask such a question, something is wrong... I suspect your opinion of your skills, size, or ability level is inflated\n...I coached high school ball for 8 yrs, and more than once I cut bigger, more talented players in favor of smaller, less skilled kids who ALWAYS tried hard...kids who always try hard are winners on and off the court

The key and only thing you need to know, is box out!  If the ball comes your way and you have boxed out, the only thing they can do is go over your back and foul you!  BOX OUT!!!

Are you serious? Apparently you've never played sports.\n\nNo. You keep it on the whole game.

Fear of losing.  Play the shot like you dont care

Stop playing defense and work on street moves that mean absolutely nothing to the sanctity of the game except for highlight reel moves.  Throw away tapes of Bird, Johnson, Barkley and start following Iverson, Alston and Williams.
