I plan on coming Thursday, but a sore knee may keep me away from the gym today. We'll see how it goes.

7/20/2010 9:43:52 AM

im in for today. already started eating to try to compensate for calorie loss.

7/20/2010 12:01:42 PM

Not today, probably Thursday.

7/20/2010 12:20:12 PM

If it's only going to be 2 or 3 of us, maybe we should just hold on until Thursday?

Plus, it's supposed to be a heat index of 110ish, which is insane..

7/20/2010 1:40:04 PM

not gonna be much better on thurs in regards to the heat but I will add my name to the list...have to bring a ton of water

7/20/2010 1:45:36 PM

who cares if not too many show up. we all suck shit and could use the practice. less people means no full court. yayyyy

$0.02

7/20/2010 2:51:28 PM

yay! no full court!

ahaha

7/20/2010 6:47:25 PM

the rain and the GF held a nigga back.

7/20/2010 8:00:28 PM

I don't know if I'll be able to make it this Thurs, but definitely next week

7/20/2010 8:15:22 PM

you keep this up and you'll be lookin like me

7/20/2010 8:48:11 PM

I'll be there on Thursday with 2 or 3 other guys.

If it's a big turn out, we can swap out teams or something.

7/20/2010 9:47:38 PM

Dick things to say to demoralize your competition:

good run today

I'm glad my knee held up

7/20/2010 9:55:50 PM

any interest?

7/22/2010 7:41:20 AM

not today eventually

7/22/2010 7:44:03 AM

Today

Yes!

Hydrate, it's going to be hot.

7/22/2010 8:19:01 AM

I keep thinking I can play today, but I'm going to the Durham Bulls game tonight... so next week I'm definitely in.

And, yeah, don't be an idiot like me, so drink a ton of water. Heat index of 105 this afternoon!

7/22/2010 8:36:42 AM

K and I will be there, likely with Quinn

7/22/2010 9:45:45 AM

I'll be there, around the same time as Tuesday.

7/22/2010 10:04:58 AM

same here. Will try to make it next Tues.

7/22/2010 1:09:12 PM

I went and played for about two hours yesterday for the first time in 3-4 months, and I feel wrecked today. The first hour and a half was great, but then I got knocked pretty good twice in about five minutes. First I got basically cross-checked from behind by a big guy in my lower back (no idea what the hell he was doing, it wasn't even on the ball), and then I popped my shoulder when I got jammed up going for a rebound and another guy pulled my arm backwards coming down because he was going over my back for it.

I need to do more cross-training like that, it was a lot of fun.

7/22/2010 1:25:40 PM

When I'm playing regularly, I get my ass kicked physically. I'm really short but I'm quick so I can get to the basket. After the first couple times I tend to get hit in the face and upper body pretty regularly. It takes a toll and I end up with bruises/cuts all the time, but it is what it is.

Of course, playing on the courts outside the gym on campus there is no point in trying to get to the basket since even the easiest of layups is near impossible with the backboards. It's like laying up a superball off those backboards. Might as well pull up from 20 feet since it's more likely to make that!

Also, I knew a few people mentioned having indoor courts at apartments or whatnot? Do you guys want to try and play sometime inside on a weekend? I don't know where the places are, but I remember seeing that either in this thread or in the Beach Body thread. I'm down for that...

*** Oh and I really want to play, but I'm already committed to going to see Inception on Tuesday at 7pm so I guess next time I can make it out will be a week from today.

7/22/2010 1:32:12 PM

I'm going to the junkyard at 4:30 so I dont know if I will make it. Shame because H8R and I are like bron/wade on those courts now.

7/22/2010 1:48:07 PM

you can do it!

7/22/2010 1:56:32 PM

roll call for this evening? Maybe push it back to 7 so it cools down some?

7/22/2010 2:15:32 PM

it's not that hot at 6

7/22/2010 2:20:26 PM

i can do 7.

7/22/2010 2:21:38 PM

I be dere whenever. Maybe before 7 to shoot around

7/22/2010 2:48:49 PM

I'll be there at 6

7/22/2010 2:49:39 PM

I be dere whenever. Maybe before 7 to shoot around

7/22/2010 2:54:41 PM

K. I'll show up earlier.

7/22/2010 2:55:59 PM

eh, I might make it... depends on work. and I'll have to go home to get clothes

[Edited on July 22, 2010 at 3:04 PM. Reason : .]

7/22/2010 3:04:18 PM

I might run out to dick's and buy a basketball.

7/22/2010 3:11:01 PM

6 PM with 2 or 3 guys.

7/22/2010 3:15:31 PM

another good turn out today. too fucking hot for me today though

7/22/2010 7:42:30 PM

^Yea. If it's as hot next week, we'll push it back to 7.

7/22/2010 8:56:42 PM

it's not much cooler by 7PM. next time I might just bring a 5 gallon cooler with me.

today made me realize just how out of shape I am. I also realized I'd never really broken my shoes in for concrete, since all I ever wear them for is on a treadmill with a soft flex deck.

7/22/2010 9:01:35 PM

i think the biggest issue is the sun being in our faces when we're there around 630 or so.

630 to 7 isnt gonna make a difference heat wise. the humidity will suck.

perhaps longer breaks in between. gonna bring more than just water next time. didnt realize we'd be playing 500 games. and full court 4 on 4 for our last game

7/22/2010 9:19:46 PM

I hurt my pinky toe real bad last Friday. It was doing good up until the last game and then Quinn had to go and land my foot and aggravate it again. Gonna have the ice pack on it again for a couple days.

7/22/2010 9:28:20 PM

quinn got schooled by a black guy

and myself

7/22/2010 9:38:48 PM

I'm pretty sure Quinn swatted one of my shots, but I recovered it, passed it, and scored. Just sucked for that few seconds.

7/22/2010 9:43:49 PM

I had two blocks over the course of like 3 games.

Quinn had two blocks on one shot.

7/22/2010 10:00:39 PM

i was just happy to make a shot

7/22/2010 10:04:04 PM

I don't think I managed to hit the rim. On a positive note, it wasn't possible for me to foul out or get called for traveling.

7/22/2010 10:13:15 PM

Good games guys

Next time I will bring gatorade if we play longer than an hour. I drank 3 liters of water out there.

2.5 hours is too much to only have water to drink. I cramped the last 45 minutes every time I flexed a leg muscle.

7/22/2010 11:26:49 PM

I, too, am glad I made a shot. I fucking suck now. Damn being lazy for years.

7/22/2010 11:34:36 PM

I'm glad I hit a shot, too.

7/22/2010 11:52:32 PM

^haha, fuck off. you score like 30% of the points in the games

7/22/2010 11:53:09 PM

I was feeding you though, I kept swinging the ball and you were wide open

7/23/2010 12:10:42 AM

yeh, but my shot is so far off and when it's so hot and I get tired so quick, it gets even worse. I feel like I've got the stroke down, I just need to control it a little better, especially after playing for a while.

I grew up playing F/C because I was tall back in the day... then I stopped growing... ha, so now I want to play inside, but don't have the build to do so. and my ball handling skills suck.

not to mention, those goals fuck your shit up badly.


so I'll stick to trying to gain assists.

7/23/2010 12:26:18 AM

I put the ass in assist.

h8r knows
