Game Thread BONESJONES vs. KINGSPEED - 1-ON-1 GAME - DATE: TBA - YOUTUBETV

[Nurkalicious]

Because in a normal game setting, you usually will only need three dribbles or so to break down a defense, and using more than that is worse for the team and allows help side defense to dig/double/etc.

When scoring 1 on 1 in the halfcourt in a real game, you only should use 3 dribbles.

That rule cuts out the 15 second isolation dribble ove cheese and the back someone under the basket for 15 seconds stuff.

I mean it’s whatever, you just gotta negotiate and agree to rules first hand. Idk about normal games and 3 dribbles. If youre a PG you need to take a lot more than 3 dribbles.

To get in a team based offense, yes. But Im talking about scoring 1-on-1 in the halfcourt.

Most college coaches I know would institute a 3-dribble rule whenever wed play king of the court.

Personally I think 3 dribbles is a bad rule. I can see the argument for it. Ive never cared much for 1v1 or 1v1v1 stuff so maybe its just that.

 

[Propagandist]

@Propagandist is a solid player. He was fun to play with.

Now that I have a second, I wanted to say, for those that are internet skeptical, I can attest that Bones is objectively really good at basketball. I also want to add that hoopsjock is my favorite type of big man to play with; if you cut, he'll reward you, and if you miss a shot, he'll get the rebound. We should make this a regular thing.

It teaches how to make the most of your dribbles, and to use triple threat, which is why I like it.

But when I take one dribble, then cross you over breaking your ankles, and have a wide open lane to the hoop I shouldn't be limited to one more dribble to get from the 3 point line to a lay-in. I'm not Giannis.

I really don't want to win just backing you down every time, then it would simply come down to who had the ball first if you're hitting shots too. I've got finesse to my game too. It just seems like you're scared trying to limit what I can do offensively.

Im not trying to limit you, I'm trying to make you use skill instead of backsown cheese.

But if you wont use backdown cheese, then no problem.

I don't think you have to worry about @hoopsjock pulling something like this.

I dont think so either...

Until he's down 10-0.

Pfft, you let Kingspeed score 3 points on you.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

HJ has never blocked my shot tbh.

I have. A couple times.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Are there videos of users on this site playing?

Yea, but I'm not sending you the link unless you agree to come out and hoop.

 

[BonesJones]

Good choice of words. If I tried defending him he'd score nothing.

 

[HailBlazers]

Once? You remember the 5 times I let you breeze by as I snapped a quick behind the back?

Or how about the time your ankles almost turned to dust?!

You couldve walked into layups on some of those cuts, but you're scared of the interior!

Dont talk shit about my passing when you wont give me good passing opportunities!

So KingSpeed scored 3 against Bones? I'm going to have to give the matchup to KingSpeed then.

1) I just said in my last post I wouldn't want to win that way.

2) You think you're the best player in the forum right? You're probably right but with how much confidence you normally have when it comes to this kind of stuff you seem a little worried about losing so you have to make some preemptive rules and excuses as to why you might lose. Thanks, I'll take that as a compliment that I'm closer to you than you want to admit.

3) I've admitted already that I can't really guard you anyways and that you'd probably win.

The video is not going to look good for either.

Who was it I blocked? @HailBlazers?

King was just feeling him out. It was just game 1. A series is 7 games. Gotta win 3 more.

Kinda thought grappling hooks are cheating but whateve.

I’m guessing most of you live in Portland but I’d probably be down if I’m in the area sometime (assuming you don’t tell me to meet you in a dark alley)

Mt Tabor Park is a volcano and they throw the loser in it.........In broad daylight!

That'd be cool--more the merrier.

I'll let you know how true that is in a couple of months.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

This actually happened?

Yup, @PtldPlatypus has the video proof.

Sent to @Orion Bailey for editing. Not the best videography, but it's better than nothing.

For this crowd that would be a dim basement, not dark alley

I have heard about the cut version...not looking so good for bones
