    I really Hate playing with a 3 point line. The ratio playing 1s and 2s is so wrong it angers me. It gives all the power to shooters and completely takes out the mid/paint game. everyone just starts chucking. I like playing ALL ONES!

    Half court is better for pick up games IMO. After 4 times down the court you have 3 people who are still able to run and the the rest kind of meander under their respective goal playing no defense. It is very rare that you will get a good full court game you have to actually hunt for them. Half court the action is constant.

    Half court is probably better anyways, i hoop in an indoor gym full court but the hours kinda suck especially saturdays. I will hoop there today to get ready for tommorrow i guess if a lot of people show up we can run 3 on 3 on both sides and winners play eachother? :cool:

    i want to show up just for the collective realization that the situation is much more awkward than amusing or "epic."

    I don't know, those videos you guys posted of the games clearly showed some serious balling ability out there.

    It was fairly intimidating for average joes....

    It is weird. I never know whether to introduce myself as me, or my online moniker.

    Though, I've heard people pronounce it a handful of different ways.

    It's actually pretty easy just to say, "My name is (your name, which I should know but forgot); I go by stipendlax on the board."

    Two birds with one stone.
