Rip City Two 3 on 3 team

[Lanny]

Last I heard he was in law school and that must of been 4 or 5 years ago.

I'd say closer to ten years ago.

Never underestimate the value of a good towel waving water boy. Can make a huge difference in crunch time!

Yep, just ask Adam Sandler

 

[Lanny]

Which one of you is Statler, and which is Waldorf?

View attachment 20579

I don't know how to respond to this one 'cause I don't have any idea who Statler and the other character are. You see, I don't get out much and when I do it's because something hot is going down at the local old folks home. I think tonight is meatloaf and bingo.

 

[Bob Dobalina]

Hmmm thread worthy and event worthy???

A meet up for some hoops with s2 members!!!

I would be down. Ive got a solid three minutes a quarter i can give before i start huffing i think.

Would there be wnough interest to set up spme saturday s2 ball at locations around town? Really only need six for some 3 on 3 but to get 10 or more for a full court game would be awesome!!!

Maybe we could have two captains draft those who want to play and create two teams.
This could be alot of fun And help bring us blazer fanatics together a bir more.
We need something after the playoffs. Its obvious many are needing somethinn to take our minds off of the blazers options this summer.

Who would be down if dates work out?

I'd be willing to drag myself from the couch and hoop with y'all.

I'm worried for your guys ankles. I broke a varsity kids ankles last night. You guys might not be able to recover.

 

[KingSpeed]

I'm not.

I can score on you pretty easily.

 

[BonesJones]

Lmao this man really is delusional!

I've locked up D1 players before bud.

 

[Lanny]

I've broken my ankles so many times that now I just hack to make up for my lack of mobility.

Confession, I've been a hack for most of my life. Now, I walk with a cane so I can't even hack.

 

[H.C.]

Wasn't kingspeed the guy who sought attention and posted about his males only league a couple years ago?
He was told by his coach/teammate to stop shooting and go rebound?
Said how his coach/teammates didn't think he was a shooter.

I don't think this guy should be saying. 'I could score pretty easily' on anyone.

Ohhhhaawhhhwhhhooooaaahhhhh.

Half of us have cankles anyhow. Who you kiddin.

His jumper is slower than Meyers.

That's a great example of the kind of mentality we can't have if we want to be successful as a team. Confidence is good, but don't discredit Bones, kid can ball.

Not possible.

Well obviously as a team, we won't be playing against each other.

That is true, but I want you to trust him on that end as a team mate as well. Same on offense, I want you guys to trust eachother enough to make an extra pass. 3 on 3 itself lends to more isolation, but it's also less forgiving if the defense defends screens incorrectly. One wrong call on a slip and you've got a path to the rim.

As I said, teams seemed pretty solid last year, I was impressed. That being said I think a 3 man 2-1 zone could be effective. Basically I'm thinking we want to contest 3's and the rim, force our opponents to take long 2's. Chances are there will be someone on their team capable of hitting, just like there is on our team, but as hoop fans we all know that is the least efficient shot to give your opponent.

I want to see Bones get involved off screens with cuts. He's got good handles for his size and I'm comfortable that he can take his opponent to the rim all day if set up properly.

I have ideas for all of you, but I'd want to know where you are comfortable on the court. Likewise I want teammates to know that as well so that we can try to get everyone their looks.

YouTube videos are nice, I’ll read up on it first though.

The YouTube videos are nice because everyone can watch them on their own and then work on the plays during the limited time they are together.

As long as the video shows the play where I get the ball and everyone gets out of my way!

Just kidding, as long as Bones cuts like he complains the Blazers don't do I'll hit him for back door layups all day.

A lot of off ball screens on offense!

Fundamentals win championships.

It's 3-on-3.. Can't exactly run a lot of off ball screens.

I don't really play off-the-ball but we'll make it work. Had 31/12/10 in a 98-90 win at rec league tonight. I manipulate the defense to open up passing or scoring lanes. Kinda LeBron-like.

You're going to need to, because if we play a team like we did in game 2 of day 1 again.
I'm going to be blowing right past that slow footed fool and looking for a kick to the corner if the help comes.

 

[PDXFonz]

Sure you can, the spacing isn't the same but it's more on the movement and quality of the screen. An well executed screen can get a shooter open in any environment. It's just that people are likely to switch all screens when playing 3 on 3.

At any rate all you need to do is force someone to help, in which case an off ball screen basically guarantees an open look for someone.

For sure.

What's the difference between injured you and 100% you?
