why doest everyone over rate schools like Unley and Pasadena and everyone forgets about trinity? at the Basa tournament couple a weeks ago, they won most of their games by over 30 and dropped Pasa along the way.

yea, thats true. I saw their game against pasadena and this is their strategy, when in doubt, give it 2 clausen. seemed to work too!
The team is over rated more like it, Clausen is the one who is underated. he can flat out play and these guys wouldnt win a game with out him
The truth
Years ago
Yeah id Belive that clausen is the best player ive played ... With he domantes at a district level and he would destory at a school level
Robbie, brett, chris.... its not underating, its just thats no dream team

You seem like you have a lot of hate toward trinity you must have been one of the punks that got a beat down when they played padare two Saturdays ago. You only hate Robert because he kills you on the court. Chris is got school sprit and pride that's why he plays and don't forget about Brett "no pass" Collins he can shoot hence the no pass. There a team that revolves around a couple of guys like most teams do and they haven't lost yet so they must be doing something right.

Bootleg, dude who made you eddie the expert on basketball, what are your numbers sweet heart, i mean where you playing at right now? seems to me like you want a job writing for the advertiser! or is it the messenger? if you wana see a real player come see me dunk on Chris "AIR" (my arse) Clausen, overrated is an understatement, his game is stiffer than viagra!! could you write that in the advertiser for me this week bootleg! so pipe down bootleg before Lloyd Braun tears you a new one on the court! p.s. big phil told me to tell you that even with a banged up ankle he would still school your sorry game. respect!!!

Were the hell did writing for the advertiser come into it. I call it how I see it and there a good team. Who ever said I had numbers sweet heart. But I very much doubt that Phil could beat me with one ankle because he can't even beat me with two. Bootleg #2 you must be one of old school hoopsta's friends because just like him you cant beat them on the court so you have to bag them out behind an alias on the net, yeah you got game to bad it's all in your head. Wake up man!
have they played st michael's? Might be an interesting game..If someone could gaurd that molitor kid. I havent played trinity yet..Clauson is a good player and im sure Cameron is feeding him the rock.

clausen wont only guard molitor, he will absolutely dominate him. nobody in school ball at the moment is good enough to go with him. not hating or anything on molitor, he's awesome like ABL star awesome( give him time) but claus is college ball awesome.

ABL star awesome? molitor is currently in china with 6 or 7 other Australians doing a training camp, fully sponsored by Nike. clausens awesome, im in the school team, but molitor is the real deal i'm sick of these little centrals tryhards not knowin wat they're talking about.

cheers for the sympthy man and yeah you guys did play well and I thought that rob was a little unfortunate to get sent off!
hope you guys can beat faith this year (jordan kies and shannon hoffman's team)
p.s for the recorded that chuck wasnt going anywwhere but onto the court cuz I wasnt going to hold that shit in! cheers for the cheap shot whoever gave it to me that sparked the yak

We should be able to beat Faith even with their aweesome players. I remember last year you guys (pembroke) had you (guy who chucked), spud, bill, max. thats four out of the five starters.they only have the two, Jordan and Shannon.
overated?
Years ago
this team is nothing without clausen. end of story.
hmmmmmm Chris is good, but not unbeatable. seriously you think hes college good, yea maybe div 2 or 3 college. he dominates because of the fact he can shoot the ball over everyone so far, he has same moves all the time, just push him left and he wont be able to do anything.
only reason that Pasadena lost is due to that blonde guy not watching the ball at the end of the game, otherwise they would of, should have won. if history has anything to do with this pasadena team, they will end up destroying Trinity in knockout and same with unley. last year Le Fevre beat pasadena by 3 or so, then knockout came along, Le Fevre got schooled by about 30, need i say more?
how can anyone think Pasadena will ever be as good as they were last year. for Gods sake guys they had Ingles.he carried them all year. as for unley or trinity,they cant beat either of them. maybe if they somehow managed to get Joe back. thats as far as their chances go. no one else will bail them out every time like joe did last year.
If Chris is so easy to guard then why hasnt anyone done so. if all you have to do is push him right then all good coaches especially the Pasa coach would see this.
the only thing history has to do with this pasadena team is that their glory days are history.
2003 was pasadenas best team. newley, ingles, bedson, smith and pearce. definately should have won KO that year. when it comes to KO pasa always get close...but never win

if they are nothing without clausen then how come they have won 3 games with out him answer that smart ass
um chris was limited against sturt under 20s, and they didnt have any superstars to defend him in that game, he couldnt go right everytime so when it came time for left hand he backed his guy down, my point proven. this years Pasa team is best TEAM, last year was best INDIVIDUAL. its all about the team this time around, and last year there was also teams with players that could match up with Jo to some degree, this year its all even par for everyone. Pasa will come out on top, they just had bad game against Unley, and anyone who saw that game will tell you that.

Chris hand a bout of flu all week leading up to that game and hadn't trained all week personal I think that he shouldn't of had payed so that may be his reason for not playing well which is pretty valid in my opinion
well he didnt play awful thats for sure. he made almost every shot he took, i dont think he did miss actually. he should have dominated no matter what, he was defended by some nobody fillin in from under 18 div 2. he should be able to own him with a broken arm or two, lol.
Pasadena at best would ony be the fourth best team around. St.Mics, Trinity or Unley interchangeable and then Pasadena. Sorry to disappoint but they arent as great as you think.
ummmmmm your joking right? St Mics? is this a joke? Cmol is great, but not good enough to stop the starting line up for Pasadena on his own. we will just wait and watch Pasadena kill it, and as for Immanuel, dont let yourselves get too ahead of urselfs, you had easy comp. Pasadena and Unley, 2 best teams, as this will be shown in its beauty come the knockout tournament.

who have pembroke got in their team? Why are people talking about them?
Your kidding about Pasa going to kill St Mics right? They will absolutely s@#t all over pasadena. Molitor is not their only player, pascoe, hoffman and russo(think thats how you spell it) last time i checked were pretty good players.
Pembroke have only got the onle Guy. wont name names but he plays 20s 1s at north. hes good. not good enough to carry the rest of the team.
pembroka are fairly good but not a threat to the top teams. trinity beat them with a Clausenless cameronless team that included a few yr 10s.
All this trash talkins gettin out a hand. All iknow is that the only good teams are the undefeated teams after seven rounds. as for knockout, od hate to see all th trash talkin teams get beat down by teams whose game goest past their mouths.

their only undefeated because they haven't played any stong caliber teams yet
"what have you contributed to this game" - was a quote made by a very confident player in the Open As team.
Im not going to mention his name, but it was directed at 2 players this morning:
* 1 who does not play district at all
* 1 who plays div 2 in age group younger then him
Next time we play how about you play the game rather then talking yourself up and starting fights on the court THEN blaming refs.
You are an ABA player and you are trying to proove yourself against a team that is all a year below you, that has injuries and missing two SASI level players.
What everyone found quite hilarious was your efforts to talk yourself up when you could not even shoot 10% - and im being dead serious one stage you missed three shots in a row under the basket, then tried your next plan of taking out the team to try cover your words.
However, I congradulate the effort of all the other players in the trinity team. Very honest players and decided to play the game rather then be 'kool' like their teammate.

you are only saying this from one side the player in question was getting fouled slapped and hacked all game then when a player that you are talking about pushed him in front of the ref nothing was done by this point he had , had enough and started playing more agresively , the only time he lost his temper was when we was fouled out of the game because he was making a point that the ref was being biast,trinity still manged to win, and dont come on here and use the age thing as an excuse for your teams pathetic attempt today they all play in the same competetion its just like district first years play again people a year older than them this is exactly the same
stop your winging, in the long run you'll see them lose regardless of the mean refs
lol ok dub, ill play ABA and bag a guy who dont play district and brag to him bout how awesome i am
dub zero
Years ago
he does play district as a played him a few weeks ago, the refs had nothing to do with it we won regardless
IN all seriousness, chris was gettin hit a fair bit an the ref wasn callin anythin but also as one of th team leaders (i think) he should have kept his head seeing as he was tearin it up anyway.
tearin it up is a very debateable word for that game. 17 points in a yr 12 game and terrible shooting percentage, For a player with the most experience by far on the court than any other player thats not all that terrin it up. I dont even know if he top scored?
dub zero
Years ago
he did not score 17 points he scored around 30 points
chris shut down his man, got blocks and played good help D that resulted in steals for the team. last time i checked, you dindt have to score a rediculous amount for it to be counted as tearing it up. either way he scored 27 anyway.
what happened to Pasa, this year. after all their talkin in the previous posts youl'd think they were gonna win knowckout by 20 pts, with all their trash talkini over teams like unley, trinity and even st Mics. as far as i know all those teams are in the finals and i havent heard anything bout pasadena since the BASA tournament.

so its official, trinity was underated all year. nobody really backed them in and rated them against the likes of unley and pasadena, who were both clearly overated. Trinity this year would have completed the double if the festival grand final wasnt cancelled.

i havent heard anyone rate the year 10 pasadena team highly at all.however the unley team is not overated, just plain good.with players missing in saturday morning bball they won every game by an average of 20, and they didnt once play their best basketball.plus unley didnt play in the festival.
