hoffdaddy 1 Posted February 28, 2007 We got our asses handed to us last night, with one guy on the opposing team scoring about 35 points. There was this skinny runt guy who ran around a lot but didn't do much. We've played agains them before, and this guy has done nothing in any game, including last night. Well, he broke away from his defender on a drive to the basket, so I hard fouled him to prevent the shot. Being he weighs 90 pounds and I weigh 190 pounds, he hit the deck pretty hard. I asked him if he was OK and attempted to help him up. Fast forward to under 2 to play in the game. We're down alot, and he swats the ball away from me. I dive for it, and we end up running into each other and both hit the deck. Foul called on me. This guy gets up and chest bumps me, saying "That's the third time you knocked me down". I stare him in the eye and say "Do you want to make it four?" At which point he quickly retreats while just about every other player on the courts steps in front me me. I then proceed to shout obscenity's about how he's a whiny ###### who should take it to dance class if he can't hang. He then misses a free throw as I'm escorted to the bench by a teammate. I let him know he has a pure shooting touch that you just can't teach. In any case, I never planned to be that guy. But sometimes, douchebags have it coming. I hope we get another crack at these guys. I'm a quiet guy, but when pushed, my basketball trash talking takes on a life of its own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoffdaddy 1 Posted February 28, 2007 Way to pick on somebody your own size, tough guy. I don't discriminate. I would've responded the same way to any of them. He was the only one to take offense. Clearly, he's intimidated. I hope we play them again, because I won't even need to touch him. I'm already in his head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hoffdaddy 1 Posted February 28, 2007 don't listen to recidivist, stick to picking on 90lb poosays...i've seen your picture. Works for me. Way to use Jedi mind tricks to take their best player out of the game. It's the best I could do. I hard fouled the guy who dropped 35, but he made the shot and hit a free throw. I didn't do that again. I'm not dumb. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the situation was defused, but you chose to shout obscenities because you were getting your ass whipped. You're headed to the bench, and he's still on the floor. Good thing you were "in his head", since it's virtually impossible to get in his way from the sidelines . Way to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is why I said I never planned to be that guy. Even I have limits. We played like dung, and this guy started something. I didn't handle it well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
