Houston / Mission-Fort Bend
-Nut Up: When the opponent blows an easy shot because of the intimidation factor. Also, when the opponent is constantly messing up (bad passes, turn overs, bad shot selection) because of the competition.

[Dizzle-2k7]

At my school's rec center we play to 30 by 2s and 3s. I dont know when or how that started ,but its been that way since Ive been here (this is my 6th year)

[DatZNasty]

man when we play up at the college, them ****** play to 11 1s and 2s. **** is terrible because some games will literally last like 3 minutes

[Dizzle-2k7]

Yea I been to places like that too.. but thats usually for gyms that only got 1 court. My school has 4 (1 usually for volleyball though) so its never like that.

I like 15 by 1s and 2s. Win by two.. thats my style.

[wTFaMonkey]

yeah, they have like 5-6 courts at the UH rec.

[Dizzle-2k7]

Yeah, but it keeps 'em moving and it weeds out the bad teams quickly. Plus, @ the places I hoop ... there is always a ton of people waiting. It makes sense, dude.

[Samurai Swoosh]

Popcorn - Pull up jumper

[applejoe]

Yeah, but it keeps 'em moving and it weeds out the bad teams quickly. Plus, @ the places I hoop ... there is always a ton of people waiting. It makes sense, dude.

That poster probably hates it cause he'll step on the court and have to sit back down before he even gets a chance to "get into rhythm" :roll:

Doesn't matter for me though, up to 7, 5, 1, whatever, I'm always the one staying on the court, so its all good

[Loki]

Here are a few, including some that others have mentioned:


Horsing a guy = doing work inside and banging bodies on the boards or in the post

Cookies = picking a guy's pocket

Send that/Sent = swatting a shot

Piece/Pieced = partially blocking a shot, usually a jumper

Wet = when a shot goes in all net (or no rim, depending on where you're playing :) )

You got done = you got done

Sometimes used: "scraped" or "broke you off" on a nice crossover or any time you shake someone. I still occasionally hear "yolk/yoke" (sp?) as in "he yoked it on him" when a guy jams in another guy's face.


I play in Brooklyn and NYC, primarily. Occasionally on the Jersey shore.
