Winter Basketball Season

we won our game this week....we played "keep away" when we were up 32-31 with 30 seconds to go...then i tricked them into trying to get a "jump ball" by standing there then a guy came over and tied me up...and the arrow was pointing our way, so it ran the clock down even more..

haha that is golden!

i played today, lost 37-35. The team we versed has beaten us 2 out of 3 times because they have a state player. When he was away though we blew them out by 25 so that says something. We started by getting up 13-1 as none of their shots were dropping. They came back in the 2nd half and started firing and a lot of their shots dropped. My first basket came from a pull up jumper but after that I went cold. Played the whole game and finished with only 7 points off about 3/12 shooting, very terrible for me, they ran some offenses for me and usually I would have hit about 7/12 of those shots and got around 18 points. Got about 3 assists, not many boards and 2 steals.

Towards the end the game was real tight, with 3 minutes left we were up 27-25. They came back with a few baskets and I scored on a driving layup to pull us back within 35-29. There was 45 seconds left, we imbounded, found me open and I drained the 3 to get us back down 35-32. However they scored on the next posession, 37-32 with 10 seconds left and our point guard lost the ball in a trap.

We have our main big guy who used to be really good. However he's been a little unfit and a tad lazy lately. The main big guy on the other team (the other team is from my school as well, they're Knox Blue, we're Knox Black) recently joined the A's at school and was mocked because he was the worst on the team. However he dominated our big guy who mainly mocked him.

Our big guy finished with like 6 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals while the big guy from the opposition really showed poise and improvement and he had a double-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 3 swats.

Our point guard was scoreless while our other swingman (me being the main one for offensive looks) was on fire today for about 17 points.

nice recap jimbo
Ive been taking it easy lately in games, on thursday a fortnight ago I hit my first 5 threes, got us a big lead, so I sat out. Again this wednesday, same thing. Lately Ive been feeling teams getting a bit dirty while defending me. Im being grabbed, held, tripped (son of a bitch) the elbows are coming out etc. Im battered and brusied.
On thursday they went box and 1 (again) the refs turn a blind eye to anything and everything going on. So instead of trying to score I just concentrated on finding my team mates shots, and locking down on d and the boards, and we ended up winning by double what we beat them last time...so I was cool with only scoring 3 pts

Nice little reporting there Jimbo! I used to hate losing by 1, 2 or even 3 points aargh! Loved how the mocker will have a sore ass! Even though he was on your team - sorry Trey I hate those dirty players... I remember my first game for seniors when I was only 18. I only played about 5 mins max that game... and only scored 2pts! Even though that was the game sealing lay up! 20 seconds left we were up by 2.. the other team left me wide open so i had the easiest game sealing fast break lefty lay up. BACK TO THE POINT trey.. I remember going for a board and somebody hand squeezing my back with all their might! Had fingernail marks and stuff.. I was thinking jeez welcome to real basketball! Guys.. sounds like we have some awesome three shooters around... Trey, Jvalles etc sounds like you guys never miss lol
