<div class="quote_poster">Quoting back-on-track:</div><div class="quote_post">I can't remember how many times our basketball team has been beaten either. It's to some extent consoling that only 2 or 3 times out of approximate 10 games we won by a very tiny margin it's me made the final shot~ I'm not bluffing. If permitted, I'll make a video of a game.</div> Go ahead and make it if you feel like it. I'm always up for a good ball game.

I can touch it barely, but it's nothing to brag about. I guess most of us Orientals aren't very athletically inclined.
Updated, lost again, knew we would..eh..nothing really to say... I've also been invited to play for another team, don't know if I will but i'm sick of losing...
Oops forgot to update for last week (Locke's new thread reminded me lol) We won, against that team we won against before, I scored 9 points but airballed a freethrow lmao, hit the second one though...not much else...fun game to play but not much else happened...
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">I guess it does, especially considering the fact that I warmed the bench for my school's JV team and as a result refused to try out for any other teams. Therefore, it warms my heart that there are some people even worse than me on the other half of the planet. </div> Man I got cut from my freshman team. The team consisted completely of white and black guys (with a notoriously racist coach, apparently no race other than whites or blacks have made his team), I was told by the coach that I had no potential. My friend the guy who made the team supposedly had potential, he shot 10% from the field, and his only points came on freethrows. Couple months later in gym class I played against the guys who were apparently better than I would ever be. I went 5-6 from 3 point land, had 21 points overall, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">Is there a playoff format for your league?</div> Yeah, but I seriously doubt we made it lmao...
Incredibly crap game, worst refs ever...here's a few things that happened... A) I was going to pass, I hopped a bit but on the way up the defender PULLED MY ARM DOWN, and I get called for a travel I said "THIS IS FUCKING BULLSHIT" incredibly loud as well lol... Another time, I faked, he jumped, I ran around him shot the three and he hit my arm trying to block me, I drilled the shot and I should of got a foul shot too but noo... C) Another, fast break this time, I was close to the defender pulled up for the shot, he hit my arm, it went in yet no foul again... we lost 23 -37 The offense basically ran through me, I had 10 points and 4 assists.
Damn how long are your games? We have 42 minutes in total and every game usually averages 100 points combined.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Locke:</div><div class="quote_post">Damn how long are your games?

Our season just started again and guess what... A WIN! 31-30 they scored a 'buzzer beater' if u will at the end but it didn't count I played my best game on this team! 16 points (4/6 threes and 2/4 from inside), I had first assists of the season and the game winning one as well! Not only that I BROKE AN ANKLE, not just made him stumble back but damn! He fell over and didn't get back up for a few seconds, then when he did get back up he was limping LMAO! What a game...
Like the threes. Congrats on the win. Aw shucks, I've missed posting for my league for like five games now. Anyways, we're sitting at 4-3 right now and look to be a lock for 3rd spot. It would be good in our 6 team league as we'll play the sixth seed in the first round, then the winner of the 4/5 matchup, then the winner of 1/2 in the finals. I've been playing like crap lately, averaging just 3 ppg in my last three games and shot something like 2/10 from three.
We win again! 33-29 I had an average game, 10 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, I could of had 11 but I had free throws at the end of the game when it was 32-29 and I hit the first so I pretty much sealed it and with like 2 seconds left, I just lobbed the ball up at the ring. I was frustrated throughout the game because I had so many fouls called on me, I had like 4 just into the second half and 5 means u foul out here...So instead of going for blocks I just tried to take charges and that suprised them so they missed pretty much all of them, we were losing by 8 after the first half this game as well.
Another win my JBB boys... 33-5 lmfao... I scored teams first 6 points (3/3) and then had 10 at the end of the half and in the second half I only took 3 shots and mostly threw alleys and all that stuff for the hell of it...The coach for the other team said "Guard number 9 better, he's their best player" lmao...That made mesmile...
Man I still can't get over how you guys only manage to score around 30 points a game. My old league used to get up into the 50s. Now, we can well get into the 60s, but my team just dominates so we just ende up slacking off in the end but throwing alley oops or just telling everyone to clear the court so our center can dunk it.

No offense, but man, I coach twelve year-olds and we average 40 points a game. In the league I play in, I recently saw a game which the winning team had 100 points. They were led by a 6-4 guy who had about five dunks and 40 points in all. My own team has scored 78 once, and I believe never dipped below 50.
Update on my league (probably never announced it but whatever). Since none of you really read this, I'm just gonna rate about the game I just had. Okay, so my team basically includes two very good and strong big guys and a bunch of wing players that just shoot jumpers with the exception of one player that just drives it in. Now, this team we were playing, was all ghetto (not meant to be racist, but it basically consists of a bunch of white guys acting black with the exception of one) and basically just kept fouling the hell out of our team. We couldn't make jumpers tonight, yet none of the big guys really posted up and our second best player didn't get the ball much for some reason. In addition, our best player who can dunk just keeps fooling around with the ball like shooting 28 foot jumpers that back rim time after time. Anyway, the other team has this insane white ghetto kid. The guy just kept popping jumpers and drove in and got and ones. He was just so fast too, but a bitch to have to play against. All he did was whine about fouls and yell at everyone. Oh, and the one guy on the other team that was actually black shoved me for no apparent reason (the bastard). Anyway, we came back from a 6 point deficit (it was like that the entire game) and pulled in front of them with about 3 seconds left.

Our team is low scoring because its mostly only number 32 and me who score, a team that my friends play for is always high scoring, they had one game where they would of finished with 100 something but the scoreboard stopped at 100, and these were 40minute games without any stops or pauses... So no, we aren't that bad...I think its pretty ignorant of you to try and judge all of Australia based on a couple of teams in one city, in fact only one league in the whole of Australia.
