We had to play 4 on 5 and pay for a "fifth player"

We only have 6 this season... last season we had 7 but two quit and another guy joined.

We have only won one game.. we drew one and lost 3 too... what a shit season

holy crap you have small teams, all the teams I have been on have had atleast 9 players, but of course there is game where some don't make it to the game so we have less.

I hate playin with anymore than six... 1 sub is enough for me... our games are fairly competitve but not to the point where you'd be needing a big break...

9 people would piss me off... I'd find another team... it fucks with the chemistry if you are subbin every few mintues cos i hate when subs are done to win... leave that shit to higher levels of ball.... i am there to play and have fun, not watch someone else....

maybe so, but i personally have more fun playin...i've experienced both and much prefer when coaches coach so that kids can have fun... if you are playin serious ball well then fair enough but if it's just muckin round with your mates it should be fair

what kind of ball are you playing? like high school, town league, pick-up(though don't know why you would have a coach), or what?

"coaches coach so that kids can have fun"
Well think about this, if u like that better than when you got 9 people on your team, and he only coaching so the best players are in, than is that fun 4 the other kids?

ya it is what they say. alot of my friends who suck and never get to play say that alot.

i'm playin in a local team...

don't get me wrong, if i was playin state or somethin like that i would wanna win and i would get pissed off with anyone who was lettin the team down but when you are playin at the level that i'm in i think it should be fair...

Don't wanna be cocky or nothin, but i'm not shit... i'm no kobe bryant either... i'm one of the better guys on my team and i'm captain... next year i'm captaining the districts team as far as i know... i just couldn't afford to play this year... fuckin car crash!!!

Yo! I'm 5'6" and I rejected this 6'2" guy twice in my game. Once at the start and he said it was a fluke and at halftime he came over to my bench and said that I could never do it again. With 50 seconds left in the game, I remembered,"MJ didn't step down from Mutombo's chellenge to dunlk on him!" And so with 10 seconds left I rejected him again and we won by one point! It was awesome! BTW- that guy was my friend and we ragged the hell out of him!

We got a game today and I need to make a way to get past a zone defense...any tips?

I like passing cause I;'m the main PG but all our big men are unco and don't know what travel is and my friend (Who scores 11ppg) is away...

by **Fresh8** on Mon Sep 15, 2003 8:42 pm

We lost the game...it's stupid...we're on a 4-game losing streak....thanks to my Ball-hogging...(4/48 shots in last 4 games....)we were unable to win again- btw all our games have been lost in single figures....i'm ashamed!

Go to a track and jog a lap lightly, then really pick up the speed to a near sprint for the second one, then lightly jog, etc. Good training for bball since there's lots of acceleration in it.

you guys know how I said it was gr.8-12 for our town league, well I found out like only like maybe 3 or 4 gr twelves and gonna play so that is good.

on another note, got my b-ball shoes, cept I won't get them till friday, T-Mac II's, i had a chance to get like the best shoes on the market and stuff but the style and look of the t-mac 2's are so....well,, I don't know, but I really like how they look and I read a bunch of reviews on them and they are supposed to be great, just not tons of ankle support but that is alright...

played my first town league game this season. our team lost 55-45. i didn't really bother to keep track of my stats as i am only gonna do that 4 high school ball. anyways, i thought i only got like around 14 points, but some of my some-what friends in the audience said i had like around 23 points, but i don't know, i kinda did a review of the game in my mind and i think i got like 18 points, cause i crossed over thsi one guy some many times and got like a runner in the lane, i did that like 5 times so 10 points and i had 3 jumpers than like a floater thingy. so that is 18 points, but this is what i think i had(these are esimates)(on my blocks i didn't like swat them but i got good pieces of the ball making them miss)(oh and do i remind you that this is a gr.8-12 league and i am in gr 8)

Points: 18
Assists: 5
Rebounds: 3
Blocks: 2
Steals: 3
Turnovers: 4

one of our star players got injured in the 2nd half with like 8 minutes left or so, before he was injured we were on the way to winning that game to
