lol. Had a fun moment in a group assignment once where I went on a 5 minute rant about the crumminess of Sunshine, only to have the guy I was working with inform me that he was, in fact, a resident of Sunshine. Tad awkward.

Surprised you are still alive, or at the very least your car hasn't been tagged to the shit.
 
Good thread

Got done for 5 points for not bringing a right jumper (only got another guy just in, hopeless but he;s tall)

Absolutly horrible shot, i fluked a 3 pointer early in the season when we were being punished 43-78, other then that unless they give me some big distance i wont even think of shooting

One of my worse games i've played, defense was great, kept my man who was their best player to under 10 points, pulled down quite a few rebounds 10+, missed 4/6 foul shots , only hit about 10 points and missed a lot of easy boards

Also got a foul for a guy copping me in the face with an elbow while he was going in for the drive, when the foul was called i was happy as anything

Didn't help that i was being fouled for hell and guys constantly pushing me under the ring in offense/defense, sure im big but i got warned for pushing back

Ended up going down by 4 points, would of won if we had the right uniforms:o

Our team is small as anything, one guys 6'4" (can jump however" two guys who are around 180cm and another guy at 5'10"0 our defense is pretty rock tight, its just only 2 of the 5 can hit anything outside the key
 
Hay all just played my 2nd game of my bball comp, its a team of footy boys so were all prity rusty atm, i myself hav'nt played since feb. We won both games by basically being a bit fitter and athletic than the opposition. Had a blinder first game knocking down 5 3s put went 1-5 tonight:(

what i did like was that there are some teams/players who know theyre >>>>>>> than you and your team. so they rack up a huge lead and then cause they're smashing you would let you drive for uncontested layups or encourage you to shoot. fair teams like that are probably in the minority these days.

Is your name Antawn Jamison?
 
Wall-e, perhaps you can help me out here and correct me if I'm wrong when I tell this story of our double overtime game...

It was a finals game, and we were playing one of those run-of-the-mill "young" teams that every open age league has (you know the type - they're all friends, all short except for the token tall skinny guy, generally average skilled except for 1-2 better players, and they like the 3-ball). 2 points down in the 2nd half, our good mate Wall-e slides through the lane with a baby hook that ties it up with just seconds to go. Hello overtime. However, we started with 6 players, and 1 got fouled off before the end of regulation.

During the first overtime, we're battling it out and neither team can really get the advantage. It was then that another guy got fouled out. Misses on both ends means we got 4 players heading into double OT.

Start of double OT. ANOTHER guy gets fouled out. Winning with 3 players in double OT?? Surely not.

Surely we can't.

Surely we can Huddo. After a subpar regulation game I catch fire, hitting shot after shot while we play a triangle defence and dare our opponents to shoot. They end up missing everything because they're TOO wide open (anyone who knows basketball will know what I mean). The ball keeps bouncing our way off the ring and we manage to get a 7-8 point lead. Then, 1 of our 3 players fouls out.

Even though there was only about 1 minute remaining and we had a solid lead, 2 players left in a double OT game is pretty epic. We actually managed to make a shot too. Woulda been flipping hilarious to a spectator.

Ladies and Gentlemen, a two time Goran Spoljaric Medal winner is in the house.

Mr Gor who only managed 2 or so points in regulation lights up for 20 odd in OT's.

That was against those shit guys, who just kept hitting shots that made you sick and want to leave the gym because the form is so ugly.

But your story is pretty spot on. After sending the game to OT with a filthy baby hook I fouled out with about 2 to go in OT1. Then watched confused as they had no idea how to defend against 3 players, then laugh a bit as they chase you all over the court with a 3 man on ball D as they double Mike away from the ball when we had 2 for the last couple of minutes.

Still don't know how we won that game.

But that first season holds true to open age ball everywhere.

Play as high a grade as you can, you play to your competition and we were average that first year.

Good memories though.

Caught it off Channing Frye and now find myself shooting transition 3's and getting no boards....or that could be the Amundson I caught.

If you hit them you're Channing. Otherwise you're every Magic player bar Dwight.

Pity Vince doesn't have the jam tart like Sweet Lou!
 
Correction walle, it was me n goz. remember on an inbounds i had like 4 guys chasing me around and so he threw it off the 1 other guy's back to get the ball back in???

according to guidance boy, having a mate outside of the internet is ghey

must be lonely reality for you son
 
I forgot Goz did that, if only we had Goz highlights.

L2M4G deserves a break, they just signed Hack-eem Warrick.
