Around SBN: Knicks 90, Raptors 87: "Shump and Lin wouldn't let us lose."

StR Pickup Game - Details (UPDATED)

Tuesday, August 24, 7:30pm.

Folsom Sports Complex. Directions can be found at www.google.com. Heh.  The address is: 66 Clarksville Road, Folsom, CA 95630. (Behind the Home Depot.)

I'm looking for at least 12 people who can commit to showing up with $10 to spare. If that's you, please vote below and leave your RSVP in the comments as well. If I get 12 positive responses, I'll go ahead and reserve a full court for 2 hours for exclusive StR use. And the more people that commit, the less we'll each have to chip in for the court. I'll also be playing at the Folsom Sports Complex on Monday night - if you can't make it on Tuesday but would still like to get your pickup game on, maybe we can get enough of us to take over the courts.

UPDATE: The court has been reserved for our exclusive use!  I'm really looking forward to meeting some of my invisible internet friends and playing some ball together.  Below is a quick checklist of things to bring (and to not bring):

Things to bring:

  • A quality indoor ball, if you have one.  They have some at the complex, but I'm not sure on the quality.
  • Good sportsmanship.
  • Smack talk.
  • A sense of humor.
  • Any past or current Kings player.
  • Jerry Reynolds.
  •  

    Things not to bring:

  • An ultra-competitive attitude.
  • Thin skin.
  • Obnoxious cursing.
  • Peaches.
  • Poll
    Will you be there on Tuesday, with $10 to help the cause?
    Yes

    I'm going when the most amount of people will be there. I thought it might be Tuesday and that's when I'll likely have to go now.

    was out there tonight

    It’s a nice gym and a good thing the court is reserved for tomorrow because there was a decent number of regulars who showed up and on court #2 they had some rec league games going on.
    Afaik, Kyle was the only other StR member to come out. Hopefully you guys took the opportunity to rest up because me and him are pretty active getting up and down the floor.
