HoopsDemon12 · 10-13-2007, 09:51 AM

Well its officailly started now, i have had morningball and been at school at 6:30 for hte pst two weeks playing ball and sort of practicing before the season begins. My comunity team has their first game today and im pretty jacked, tomorrow i have my first mens league game as well. Anyone else here play basketball whether it be mens league, comunity, highschool... or maybe even elementry knowing the age of some of the guys on here.

Just a place to discuss how your team and seasons are going and stories from the season... my team is one of the most.. well you will see by the stories i post after how screwed up these gusy were.. i could scare people with the stories form last year haha

In Canada does basketball start during Football season? No wonder they are on the brink of destruction.

i've got my high school's team meeting tuesday. Workouts are starting. We have "no ball' the day after thanksgiving. the WORST day ever. 2 hours of pure running, the day after thanksgiving. we get a 2 hour break, and then another 2 hour practice(lighter). the next day is 2 practices as well. Last year i got cut b/c i had ankle problems and sat out "too much" in no ball. My ankle is still only about 80% but we'll see what happens

We have had meetings every 2 weeks since start of school. Anybody who doesnt play football has to do Monday Miles. We have tryouts in about 4 weeks.

Ours are in 35 days... november 17th and im so pumped for them. Comunity ball is just a place i use to get into better shape and develop my left handed dribbling skills. Aswell as get my shot back.. i have a sprained finger and it screws up my shot so much... my free throws seem to be fine though... pre season im 87% right now... up form a terrible 48 last year haha

Scotty, aren't you guys still not allowed to train together until November. I believe that's what it is in NJ.

We are not allowed to train either... We have mornign ball where everyone can show up and then someone leaves "Suggestions" for me and i have to run the team through these drills... all teh catholic schools have done it forever aswell with recruiting.. i have a funny story from that in grade 9. Now the public schools are practicing like the privatly funded schools.

K wow really? whats your starting line-up looking like.. mine kinda fall out liek this

C - 6'7 220 (plays provincial ball)
PF - 6'5 230 (Named ot the same all start as grag oden in a tournament two years ago, also plays provincial ball)
SF - 6'3 200 (Me, Plays provincial ball)
SG - 5'10 176 (Gym Rat but should be way better than he is)
PG - Up for grabs really...

I play everywhere on the court ove rhte course of the game though.. depending on post and gaurd foul troubles.. i usually dont sub off

scottyboy · 10-13-2007, 10:52 AM

well, we've got a very small team right now.(hell i may not make varsity). Our coach has the team going with a 3 happy O. we may start 4 guards as our tallest kid is a frosh and wont start.
C: 6'3: The kid is a total douche. doesnt know the meaning of the word pass. Thinks he's tough but is a total pu$$y. Does have a pretty good game though. plays dirty on the boards and hates me because i play dirty back.
Now, we basically have 3 SG's and a PG
SG 5'11: The kid is fundamentally sound, and has a nasty shot. Gym rat, deadlyy 3 ball
SG(2): 5'10ish: Quick, good handling skills, and money from outside. need to have a hand in his face at all times.
SG:(3):6'1 Went to grade school with him, he's a baller. Quick, smooth motion, pretty good shot. Great driving to the hoop, but very frail, always hurt(big puss)
PG: 5'11: This kid, a junior, may be our best all around player. Great shot and very good dribbling. gets too frustratedthough- 1st cousin of Mike Teel! :D

HoopsDemon12 · 10-13-2007, 12:53 PM

Im off ot my game ill let you guys know how it goes.. first one of the year so im expecting rust for sure.

HoopsDemon12 · 10-17-2007, 09:00 PM

So ya i kinda forgot about this thing.. well we won our first game 89-20... We had this one guy on our team just dunk over this guy and it was freakin awesome.. i had 17 points.. the only part of my game i was happy with was my free throws going into the game.. i ended up going 1-11 form teh line.. so dissapointing.. and i cant blame it all on the sprained finger.

Next game is saturday so pumped for that

HoopsDemon12 · 10-20-2007, 04:13 PM

Played WAY better today and i was surprised cause we only had 6 guys so i had to play the entire game. Well we won 87-56 and i was the leading scorer with 28 points.. i aslo had 13 boards and i nice block... good game all around.

Anyone else even started mes league or anything yet? or am i alone on this one?
