If its a little overcast, a little humid, and around 75-80 degrees by 3pm, thats just called basketball weather in the summertime. Unless there is real precipitation it shouldn't be a problem.

Yeah I was just gonna say that. The real time to play ball is like 5-6 anyway cuz the sun is kinda sideways at that time. That's when you get your second Wind.

I ****in can't wait till Saturday. I hope I can get off that day.

The weather guys are saying 84 and clear for Saturday.

Accu-weather sucks.

A little drizzle can be a gift from the basketball gods on a hot Summer day. I sometimes shoot around and kinda enjoy it if it showers for just a couple minutes.

Me and the guys I grew up with used to play NBA jam for genisis and NBA live for ps1 a lot. we'd have tournaments with like 10 dudes. Anyway, we'd start talking **** and it always ended up with us takin it to the real courts and having a war. Rain, sleet, snow, 2PM or 2am.

I love ball.

current forecast is partly cloudy and 79 degrees.

how's this for an idea depending on how many people show up...a possible 3 on 3 ultimateknicks hoop it up tournament?

Partly cloudy and 79 is prctically perfect. If 79 is the high temp, then it should be even nicer come 5pm.

If we can't get a full court, the 3-on-3 is the way to go.

from what i hear, the courts are regulation size. i almost guarantee that if we try a 5 on 5 game, it will quickly degenerate into a cherry picking contest with some folk seriously huffing and puffing. we'll see what kind of shape everyone's in, but i think a 3on3 tournament may give us the best competition...but we can play it by ear.

DJ, I came up with a 3 on 3 tourney earlier, but I'm with you. I think that would be fun as hell AND it would give us all a chance to actually be competitive without worrying about the huffing and puffing. I lot of people will be doing that, just in half court!

look at this fool trying to steal my shine with the 3 on 3 idea. all y'all are just haters...

Posted by kam77:

You're just saying 3 on 3 because no more than 6 of us will probably show up!

i anticipate at least 7 people there. and we can always pick up the one old dude in every park that banks in hook shots from midcourt.

I thought your list was like 15 long?

Imagine if all these mofos that lurk pop up? If say like 50 bastards show up we are gonna get tear gased, maced and billy clubbed by the police for hosting a gathering without a permitt. If most of is are of the darker shade of brown, I'm estimating about 2050 shots fired. I used the nypd "41" rule.

I doubt a lot of guys come to tell you the truth. Its gonna be DJ and evil playing one on one till I get there at 6PM with some crazy excuse.

back in the day i would be safe, but after all the 9/11 sh t, i can't even weasle my way out of a police beating.

So we got an illeged terrorist, a long haired hippie, a rasta lookin mofo that obviously had the munchies too many times, a guy who wants is to call him "killah", etc....

It don't look good fellas.
