We have a pretty 1-4 options, the problem is that we have two dudes over 50, one of them is the captain and the other is the captain's boy. Our 4 is also a really nice guy and is content subbing out when really the old dudes should be the only ones subbing out. So at points of the game today we have these two geezers who do nothing but take up space, miss shots, and turn the ball over. We go into the half down 37-17, shooting probably 20% and I'm o-2 from the field, the old dudes are probably a combined 0-10.
I'm all frustrated, so I'm like alright I'm just gonna get mine. So i demand the ball when we come up the court and for some dumbass reason start passing when I shoulda been jacking. We immediately go on like a 9-2 run with me assisting on prob all of these buckets. Alright, things are looking up but quickly go sour again, and despite me assisting on 6 of our first 8 buckets of the half we still got old as dude dribbling the ball up, doing nothing, not attacking, and turning the ball over.
I'm like alright, games over time to get mine, I make a few nice layups, get a few fouls, and airball a three. After the airball old dude on the bench says something like "oh another great shot" and I'm like are you serious? So i start yelling at grandpa, calling him old, telling him he's garbage, that he shoots ten percent, that he never passes, that I have more assists this game than he has all season blah blah blah. This also goes back to last game when the same thing happened, we're down in the second half, I start bringing the ball up, get some assists and after one I'm like "who's counting my assists" and old as dude is like "Yeah right you don't have any."
So, he changes and leaves as we lose the game (I scored a bucket with about 30 seconds left, and then was pressing and black guy with a gold grill is talking shit, so I picked him at half but didn't get the layup off before the buzzer, I prob woulda missed it anyway).
In summation, old people suck at life and bball. My teams like "oh just talk to him before next week," and I'm like "Captain, check your boy in cuz he's about to get some trouble. I will talk to him next week and I'm gonna tell him if he mouths off to me again he's gonna catch a hard screen or a ball to the face from me!"
So if any J team is looking for a point forward/slasher type who plays alright D, I'm on the block!
On the plus side I scored my first ever left handed layup today, I been working on those. And I got the Better Basketball Shooting DVD with JJ Reddick, WATCH OUT!
