Embarassing...


Me and MW played some drop-on basketball at Pinetree Community Rec centre in Coquitlam. Nice courts. There were enough people to make 4 teams for 5-on-5 full court. MW and I really just wanted to shoot around since neither of us have been played some serious b-ball for quite some time, but we still joined a team, and boy did we ever get our arses kicked! I dunno what it was today, but I found playing 5-on-5 with strangers too be too much pressure, and all basketball fundamentals seemed to just go out the window... couldn't pass, couldn't get around the screens, couldn't do a freakin' layup or short jumpshot (had some really nice air-balls though!). For goodness sake, my check just slapped the ball away from my hands when I fronted him after getting the pass. How embarassing, i know i could do much better... if anything this was exactly the motivation I need to get me back into playing some serious basketball over the summer... anyone know of any basketball leagues or other gyms with drop-in b-ball?
