    The funny thing is that the guys I played with we rarely ran zones (like 1% of the time) ... we doubled, clogged driving lanes, and dictated through defense who we wanted to shoot more than anything else

    Only times we legitimately contemplated and/or played zones or comparable were when we absolutely didn’t matchup athletically and protected ourselves from obvious mismatches ... usually due to height and/or lack of ball handlers

    It’s fine to give me some shit on it ... whatever I can take a good natured ribbing. When it’s used as a means to discredit, that’s full of shit
  • Zone? I played city league and I only had a few musts.

    1) if they give you 5 fouls, you always use 4.

    2) those four fouls are like currency, use them wisely. Meaning always violent and always sending them to the ground.

    3) Always punish the first guy that tries to set a screen on you. When it happens, lower your shoulder and bulldoze into them as hard as you can. You never get screened again.

    4) when rebounding, make sure early in the game you box their big man out of bounds. It sets the tone.

    5) when you can’t shoot or dribble (that is me), learn to rebound and fuck people up.

    6) You better be ready throw hands if you do these things regularly

    Letting the Kobe wannabes jack up long twos or finish contested shots at the rim is the way to win. Let the And-1 ball handler do his thing and fuck up finishing the play, grab the rebound and run. Most players have enough pride to not call a foul on any contact near the basket so it’s good to also be physical and right on the line of fouling and not fouling.
    Three’s in transition when you have numbers is another good, efficient way. Either you hit the three or probably get the rebound and an easy put back.

    Like Teq, I rarely lose playing pick up ball. I’m a pretty good player tho and have never lost my ability to shoot. I can go months without playing and can step on a court and still get red hot. My handle isn’t as tight anymore and I definitely can’t jump as high, but I have more old man strength and play the typical white guy, shooter and hustler role very well.

    6’2” is pretty tall for a typical pick up player too so I grab a lot of rebounds and definitely run the floor well. I normally lose after my third or fourth game when I just don’t have the wind to put forth the same effort I did in earlier games.
    I can still finger roll.

    I'm still trying to wrap my mind around the token Asian guy on the board actually being a 6'2" white guy. Next you're all going to tell me that Pup's not black!...

    The original trash talking obnoxious Cane

    The Sonics first trips to the playoffs coincided with the Warriors run to the title in the mid 70's. Sonic fans hated Rick. Poured beer on him.

    The 76 title team was awesome as was Rick
