    Yeah, that was impressive. Clearly the best player on the court from the first video. Guy in green shirt had a nice spin move but finished with the wrong hand, but still a good play.

    Yeah, I layed up with the right hand because I thought 00rocketgirl was going to slide over and take away the left. Unless you're talking about a different play. I play pretty well with both hands. It's about the only way a guy can be successful in the post if he doesn't have any real size to speak of...and I'm no shooter.

    I mainly passed it to her because I knew she shoots well. Gerald Wallace was also on my team, and he shoots it well.

    You have to understand that the other team averages 6 1, so we had to go to an outside shooter.

    Yeah, she was torching us out there. But CCR didn't get our big comeback and victory on video! The only highlight I got was a baby hook through a double team in which I clearly traveled on my first step.

    Thank you for overcoming the gender barriers and passing to a girl.
    (btw, I'm super glad there was no stalker footage of me in the scrimmage video. you know that one guy in the rowdies thread was offering 5 stacks for my audition video for this year :grin: lol. Also I was shocked that you said hi to me today and didnt wait until after the event to write on clutchfans that you saw me, like the last 2 times)

    I really really really lucked out with the clip I was videoed in. lol. I was much much worse earlier, I promise.

    Kidcave, invest in a pair of shoes with laces. lol

    There is less awkwardness these days. Pretty soon, we will be running into each other at Toyota Center a lot. Watch.

    ankle support is overrated...i like low tops myself....but the few times ive used slip ons i did have a lot of trouble stopping firmly...

    00rocketgirl, what's your basketball background? With those mechanics i imagine you played for your school at some point?

    I just need it not to be like 93 degrees and humid for once.

    Like it was a couple weeks ago.

    Then I will move around slightly.

    That was you?

    Damn.

    I was apparently too busy listening to my art rock that I didn't even bother to learn your names.


    My bad.

    kidcave- no ankle support, results in a lot of broken ankles, the kind you don't need casts for. The kind I like to give. And doesn't begging technically make you a beggar?
    Kam- Idk, I mean I'm pretty hard to find at the TC... lol. see you soon I guess.
    RV6- Basketball background? yes. too much. Before I was obsessed with the Rockets, I was obsessed with hooping and wanting to play college basketball, my mind changed junior year in high school because of a lot of reasons. Funny, that was the year I became a big time Rockets fan. I played AAU basketball for like 7-8 years. Starter 4 years in hs, 1st team all district 4 years, I just found out this week that I hold the record in scoring at my HS, and a few other little achievements.

    the girl is making the guys look like scrubs. no one else can shoot a lick; the girl has a nice stroke though.

    thanks for the comment on the stroke.
    But this was just a 4 minute clip. Everyone else can shoot that was there. Like Kam said, I was open and my shot was hot in that 4 minute period, so he kept passing it to me, so I kept shooting, and at that time my shot was falling. It was just my luck that CCR captured this bit on video. Had I been recorded earlier, you could have said "wow, that girl sucks, she keeps shooting and missing" In the clip above, there wasn't too many shots taken, I took like 5 or 6, so you really couldn't get a good assessment of everyone's shots. Don't take away anything from their game.

    i would but i live in SF. i'm pretty average myself (as i'm primarily a shooter and too short to do much else).

    but i hope those vids don't justify the level of play you guys put on on a regular basis.

    and it's not the skill level th; the intensity just wasn't there on the video i commented on. the girl was the only one who is into the game and thus did well. i mean, if you're going to play halfcourt, you gotta play harder than that. maybe it was the 4th or 5th game or whatever. but you play like that at a basketball gym, you get kicked off the court.

    That girl is pretty good... But overall there is a lot of standing around considering it's basketball.
