We never said we wouldn't give up open looks though. Outdoors there isn't really a single person who has consistently knocked down outside jumpers (except for when Bones just happened to get streaky when he played me) so it really doesn't matter how open the looks are.

Fair enough pack the paint expect misses, and you guys are big enough to do what you want in the paint vs most of us. Seems reasonable enough.

BTW its been a while since Ive played at the TVrec center and those rims might be the hardest substance known to man, still fun though.

I care more about the level playing surface with 3 point lines than the rims.

Sorry but 2 on 3 and the 3 should get good shots like 90% of the A 3 pointer is 23 feet (ok 24) even my fat self could stand on the corner or a wing and hit open shots a pretty good percentage of the time. Again not trying to disrespect you two, Ive played with HJ a couple times now and that size + strength is legit. Just dont really see how two guys could keep 3 guys from getting good looks. You guys might be fast but even NBA guys arent faster than the ball.

Why all the 2 on 3 talk? Next time I'll be there. :cheers:

Hey random question but Ive been trying to find the official rules on screens and google hasnt been kind to me. Do you know where I can find them?
Been really thinking about it and by my eyes I honestly cant tell why sometimes they call an offensive foul and sometimes (rarely) a defensive foul, then what is the rule on guys who are just walking but obviously picking off the defender. Instead of complain about it, kind of want to know the official rules for it.

Decided to come shoot around for a few minutes. Court isn't half bad.

Thats a nice looking place and empty!! We should try for sure for next weekend!

This is gonna turn into another "contest". How about you choose 2 other guys that have shown up (except you can't pick @dviss1) and play us 2 on 3? Losers buy lunch for the winners afterwards.

Bullshit. No more contests for bones until he mans up and accepts mine.

BTW, half bad? We dont have shit like that on the East side that I know of. I was on point when I said the West side is ritsy. :)

That's okay. Us East siders don't mind taking it over for a few hours.

There are three other courts behind it too. It's a really nice park. I work near there and most of the time it's packed, I was surprised how few people were there yesterday.
 
Weather is supposed to be in the 80's next weekend, so maybe later is better?

I can make any time on the weekend with a day or two notice as to when (barring a home Blazer game, like most of us).

@VanillaGorilla I scrolled, but think I missed it. You said next weekend you couldn't get there until 6 or something?

Who is wanting to play and has soem time this weekend? Post the day and time frames that are open and @TorturedBlazerFan and I will try to put together a group calendar initially updated, we could then continue adding to, entering free days and times able to play and see what we can make work based off the calendar.

I know i'm missing people and I apologize. Of course the more the merrier. We need more people.
I can bring a cooler full of ice for everyone to put drinks in as its looking to be mid 80's.

It's just a blocking foul. The same rules apply. Except you must be set. Also, when setting a blind screen (from behind) you must give the defender time and distance to get around the screen (no contact from behind at all until the defender initiates it).

You don't have to be set to earn a charging call.

Seems like they could call a lot of offensive fouls for the screener not being set if they wanted too. Im sometimes really confused how one screen is called, then the next play the screener will do basically the same thing and not get called...

Anyways thanks for the explanation, thats basically what I thought it was.

The NBA does a horrible job of interpreting that foul call...
