That's the first time I've ever heard of a game being played by points of 5 and 10. So if you hit a 3 point shot, you get 10 points?

Basically. I got a tip then hit three 3s and was one shot a way from doing the next nonsense before anyone else touched the ball.That's the first time I've ever heard of a game being played by points of 5 and 10. So if you hit a 3 point shot, you get 10 points?

That's crazy. Never heard of playing to 50 by 5s and 10s.
Glad you're liking the 2017 CEs so far. I played in mine twice last week for 2hrs straight each time. Traction, fit, and support are great. Lockdown is good, but did feel like I was getting a tiny bit of heel slip. The internal padding is plush and doesn't really have any heel notches. Maybe I just need to get used to them or lace a little tighter. Cushioning is excellent - heel feels like the 2016s and forefoot feels a little thicker/denser. Integrated sock doesn't do anything but make them harder to get on. I wore ankle socks and was wondering if the integrated sock would irritate my ankle. Didn't really notice anything. So far I definitely like them a lot. They rank ahead of the 2016 mids and just behind the 2016 lows. These are staying at the top of my rotation for a while.

Out here if we playing 1on1, it's up to 7 points by 1s and 2s scorer checkball, or 21 points with 3FTs and checkball. If we running full I've played anywhere between 12 to 16 by 1s and 2s.

Mostly play on the West Coast, but have played some in the midwest, east coast and overseas. Always play 1s and 2s or 2s and 3s. 1s and 2s most common but 2s and 3s is gaining traction. Funny how counting by 2s and 3s isn't much harder than 1s and 2s.
Just finished playing in the 2017 PK mids again. I still like the 2016 lows better. Lockdown and weight are better with a slightly bouncier forefoot cushion. Primeknit and regular upper on the 2016 lows perform the same to me, so I'd recommend either.
Anyone try the 2017 CEs in PK and non PK side by side yet? I'm curious how the lockdown and heel feels version to version.

I'm mainly in the cali and I used to play all 1s.
Then I moved but still in the same state and it turned into 1s and 2s and I really didn't like it because I was never a long range shooter and it's a back breaker to work hard and get points in the paint and two to three shots behind the arc and they nullify your lead
I prefer 2s and 3s and always ask to play that so that behind the arc is more tolerable.

yo last word before I order. I know guys on here said stick with the CE16 size as these fit the same (i'm assuming it was the PK model) but then read in the youtube comments of a review video to go half a size up. what's what? lol

Go a 1/2 size up. You wont regret it. You get a little more wiggle room.

If you're not a wide footer and you are playing ball in these then I would go TTS. I went TTS and same as my CE16 and sizing is perfect. I would only go 1/2 up for casual.

TTS in my opinion. These run a touch longer than the 16s
