but but but he has a flaming bball tat on his armthat must mean something right?
1/13/2009 7:44:21 PM
thats his basketball career going up in flames
1/13/2009 7:45:22 PM
i hear his mom drank scotch while he was in the womb.
1/13/2009 7:46:58 PM
he just made 2 from the stripe
1/13/2009 7:48:04 PM
HORNER WIT DA BIG FREE THROWZ!seriously has state ever had anyone who's played worse defense?
1/13/2009 7:48:17 PM
1/13/2009 7:49:24 PM
i think i finally realized what he makes me think of, bear with me b/c it is convoluted, but...he makes me think of that intramural/rec league team you get together that is pretty stacked but there is that one kid that is friends with everybody and really wants to play so he gets on the team out of guilt then you feel like you hvae to play him and he gets out there and just runs around and swings his arms alot ot make it look like he is having an impact but it is clearly he is just doing random shit and has no idea then he gets the balll and 90% of the time he'll pass it like it is 200 degrees but every now and then he gets some heart and throws a brick off the backboard or recklessly drives inot the lane and almost gets his nose broken when someone throws his shit back in his faceanyway, that is what i think of when i watch him play
1/13/2009 7:50:31 PM
^and he can shoot. But apparently only when it's not a real game.
1/13/2009 7:52:51 PM
but he can pump fake himself out of his own shoes
1/13/2009 7:56:40 PM
right every now and then he'll throw one up and everyone will saying oh god then it will go in on some awful bounce, like a bank from nba range, and everyone will just kinda grin and head back down the court as he acts liek he is the shiton another note, fsu must not have seen a scouting report b/c they keep fouling him like he is dwyane wade driving hte lane[Edited on January 13, 2009 at 8:25 PM. Reason : you might say horner has been bailed out more than the US banking industy] [Edited on January 13, 2009 at 8:26 PM. Reason : i mean, you prob wouldnt say that, but you might]
1/13/2009 7:58:17 PM
holy shit, that was actually a nice pass on the break!(at 12 minutes left, i am behind)[Edited on January 13, 2009 at 8:37 PM. Reason : and he goes and redeems himself with one of the worst flops since evtimov days]
1/13/2009 8:36:45 PM
Horner sucks balls at defense, he just stands there
1/13/2009 8:41:40 PM
no block, missed wideopen 3
1/13/2009 8:42:57 PM
ANOTHER WIDE OPEN MISS
1/13/2009 8:51:33 PM
1/13/2009 9:01:49 PM
horner is so garbage he makes my eyes waterand i'm just watching on tv
1/13/2009 9:02:45 PM
Dennis Horner is the Harrison Beck of our basketball team
1/13/2009 9:05:19 PM
1/13/2009 9:07:13 PM
i wanted to make this thread, why doesnt he just throw in the towel
1/13/2009 9:07:21 PM
1/13/2009 9:11:46 PM
1/13/2009 9:47:24 PM
but he was 6/6 on free throws!
1/13/2009 9:54:09 PM
PPPPUMP FAKE
1/13/2009 10:21:13 PM
The Denis Horner Offensive Play Flow ChartGet the ball ==> PUMP FAKE!!||||\/PUMP FAKE!!!||||\/Did it Work? ==> No ==> Pass||||\/Yes||||\/Take 2 steps forward and shoot
1/13/2009 10:27:15 PM
he does have a minimum 20 pump fake rule that he abides by every game without fail
1/13/2009 10:28:10 PM
1/13/2009 10:28:34 PM
"Garbage"Well done Slater[Edited on January 13, 2009 at 10:41 PM. Reason : i really thought this would be his season. But as of yet, it's sh*t.]
1/13/2009 10:30:14 PM
anyone else find it to be one of the ugliest pump fakes in basketball too? most people pump up in the air to get the defender of his feet, his is a fake into the defenses' chest...
1/14/2009 12:19:58 AM
does anybody else remember how bad damien wilkins' pump fakes were when he was playing here
1/14/2009 12:22:11 AM
Horner's are definitely worse, due to quantity and (lack of) quality
1/14/2009 1:50:49 AM
most definitely, wilkins at least had the skill to get himself a good shot still despite his exaggerated pump fakes. it was always funny to see how far he would step and put the ball over his head though.the bad thing about horner is 1. the pump fake gets him out of rhythm and ruins all the mechanics of his shot and 2. the defender is expecting it so he gives the defender a chance to contest his shot which defeats the whole purpose of the pump fake in the first place
1/14/2009 2:02:33 AM
due to age
1/14/2009 12:47:51 PM
two years ago, people might have actually bit on his pump fakeyou know, back when he could actually shoothe's since devolved into an ineffective player on all fronts by trying to be something he isn't
1/14/2009 1:02:54 PM
Ha, I used to call Damien Wilkins the "Man of a Thousand Pump Fakes". He definitely did it far more. In 2000-2001 every posession went: pass, pass, pass, pass to Damien Wilkins, pump fake 5-10 times, forced jump shot at the buzzer. How did we not make the postseason that year? The following season Herb brought in Larry Hunter to install the Princeton O.
1/14/2009 1:28:01 PM
i say he read this thread and used it for motivationyes we can!(actually i am almost still angry b/c he always seems to do just enough to let sid get away with playing him, people dont notice the bad D, terrible shots, only the occasional lucky points)
1/17/2009 2:29:40 PM
1/17/2009 2:32:35 PM
horner definitely stepped up with some clutch points and rebounds when Costner fouled out and in overtime, gotta give him props when it's due
1/17/2009 3:57:57 PM
overtime allstar.
1/17/2009 4:07:56 PM
Horner gets the ball. He's wide open. Pump fakes???Shoots the 3.Airball. That really happened.[Edited on January 20, 2009 at 10:11 PM. Reason : no airball, but horrid nonetheless]
1/20/2009 10:02:27 PM
i laughed my ass off when that happened
1/20/2009 10:03:28 PM
^^ He bricked it off the front of the rim. He didn't airball it.
1/20/2009 10:04:07 PM
Yeah, there was no airball.Like that matters
1/20/2009 10:05:09 PM
It sure fooled me... I was almost certain he was going to shoot that wide open shot the first time.
1/20/2009 10:05:25 PM
^^^maybe he was thrown off by the pump fake when nobody was around[Edited on January 20, 2009 at 10:05 PM. Reason : ^s]
i seriously thought about punching a fucking wall when he did thati think his pump fake faked himself out causing him to brick that shot
1/20/2009 10:07:02 PM
I mean, who pump fakes when they're wide open? haha
1/20/2009 10:07:10 PM
someone should have lied to him and told him it was overtime
1/20/2009 10:07:36 PM
he just looked so fucking clueless when he did thatmost people thinkHOLY SHIT THERE ISN'T A DUKE PLAYER WITHIN 20 FEET OF ME!!! I'M GONNA KNOCK THIS 3 DOWN BIATCHbut dennis horner on the other hand...HOLY SHIT THERE ISN'T A DUKE PLAYER WITHIN 20 FEET OF ME!!!...OH FUCK WHAT DO I DO??PUMP FAKE BIATCH!!!!! *pump fakes*FUCK I'M STILL WIDE OPEN, SHOULD I PUMP FAKE AGAIN?NAH I THINK I'LL JUST WAIT ANOTHER SECOND OR TWO AND THEN BRICK IT-------------------------------it's almost like he has a bet going with his teammates to see how many times he can pump fake, kind of like in Super Troopers with the cop saying MEOW
1/20/2009 10:14:13 PM
the flame tattoo on his arm was heating up... probly more of an arm spasm.
