Just wondering what things bother you when playing pick up ball? A couple days ago, I was playing and the team I was on had a lot of size, but the other teamhad all the speed. We tried going man-to-man, but ended up falling behind real quick. Someone on our squad made the suggestion that we run a 2-3, and when wedid we frustrated the hell out of the opposing team. They had to settle of a lot of jump shots, and got nothing in the paint. In the end, we ended up winningthe game, but the other team that we beat was SALTY! They were calling our squad a bunch of "females" etc etc....next game we went straight man, andwhooped them real bad. This team was so bitter that they even went as far as stopping play due to "illegal defense." Who calls illegal defense inpick-up hoops? When they stopped play for this everyone went
. I guess what grinds my gears is the constant complaining if your team got beat. Takeyour loss like a man and shut up. On top of it, carrying over that frustration and calling a bunch of BS fouls etc in the next couple of games....anotherthing that i hate is when dudes flat out give up if their team is losing. A few weeks ago, I told one of my teammates to get off the court cause he wasn'tplaying any sort of D. We were losing big, but you still gotta hustle until the game is over....I hate that type of mentality.
