BEdge Summer BBall Tomorrow 7/16 @ 6-8pm Powell Park

watup buttercups!?!?!?

KP is making a last grasp for Free Agency and will be watching us scrimmage at Powell Park tomorrow from 6-8pm. He'll see why standing pat isn't a bad choice. Come one, come all.

Bring:

- Ball
- Water so you don't pass out
- Black & White shirt/jersey

Here's a few things you can do at BEdge Bball that you can't do online:

1. Ad-hom attacks
2. See blazerfan1 in short shorts
3. Get back at Prez for deleting any of your comments

Having said that, no a-holes please.

So let me know if you can make it...We got about 8 already. We had a good showing last time and if we have a bunch this time, we can run two courts.

Wrecks for effects.

Stay cool,

BRP

Last time I think we ended up having nine people show up, but it still ended up being a blast.

Also made me realize how had badly I am out of shape

Would love to but I strained a ligament in my elbow a while ago that just got diagnosed correctly

So in addition to no lifting basketball is a no go as well, So you won’t have to worry about me showing you up again ;)

we just split into teams and run...just for fun...nothing serious

I’ll have to come by sometime. I have insurance now too so if I blow my knee out I may be ok.

My strength is ball-handling and my slasher mentality.

My ball-handling may be great but I turn the ball over a lot on passes. That’s why I’m better suited to play SG of SF. I almost never lose 1 on 1’s. Not really a super tall freak or a dunker. Too short to dunk. (5’ 10" 130 lbs)

by tcwoods on Jul 15, 2009 12:37 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Sophia is probably the best baller

I really want in...

but doesn’t look like I can. I’m not even in LA, I’m in Seattle and would be coming to Portland by tomorrow or tonight… Everything seems to line up BUT I was playing ball yesterday and rolled/sprained my ankle pretty bad. Crap. I would have loved to play with you guys. Maybe I’ll stop by.

trust me, you don't need a good ankle to ball with us

It's pretty bad. The worst accident I've had with it.

You can see my left ankle is swollen. The picture was taken last night, it’s about the same size but more stiff today. It’s hard to walk, let alone play basketball. Believe me I would, I’ve played through a bad back. I just don’t want to get any one’s hopes up.

I used to play through those when I was 16.

Same here, I live and work out of LA. And have been jealous evertime I've read one of these posts.

Ironic that I’m finally up here but physically unable to play.

I don't really have much in terms of skill

and I haven’t played in a while, but if you need numbers I can show up—It’s near my neighborhood.

i'm there next time. moving tomorrow.

i am good for six fouls, the occasional charge, and lots of staying back on D during a fast break. also, vomiting after 10 minutes of exercise. I make up for all this with a sweet Aldridge jersey.

I'll be there again

I might be a little surly this time because I’ve got a roommate that’s pissing me off in a major way. I’ll try not to explode, but I will be venting a lot of aggression.

I’ll be in a little better shape this time around, too. Been working on everything.

I wish I lived in Portland. I’ve been balling nearly every day recently so I’m in pretty good basketball shape.

There are two courts w/ full size hoops at 49th and Belmont

I play soccer out there; I’ve never seen anyone other than a few kids on the courts. They’re a shool playground, so not the best, but it would be quiet and private.

There's also a Nike court at Westmoreland park

Westmoreland park isn’t too far from Cleveland HS court you guys went to. It’s between the baseball diamonds and the casting pool at Westmoreland park. Generally not too busy and it’s one of those red/yellow Nike ones similar to the one that you guys were playing at over on 26th and Powell.

Also, if you go over onto Holgate up a few blocks to maybe 32nd, there’s a elementary/middle school that has covered hoops, for when it’s really hot.
