| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:36 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @pazzo Ah, sorry about that! My browser just crashed (I just got another power outage), and when I restored the session, this page was the first thing I saw. So I thought you addressed me. Anyway, the original basket looks cute, doesn't it? :-) | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:34 | comment | added | user6951 | @DamkerngT. Sorry, I was asking the OP. Asking you would never clarify the question. :) I had time to edit my comment to insert the OP's name. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:31 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @pazzo I mean something that looks pretty like the one on this Wikipedia page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball--in the photo: The first basketball court: Springfield College. It's neither of your baskets. :-) | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:29 | comment | added | user6951 | @chumakoff What do you mean by basket? Pick the closest image: Image 1 or Image 2. There is some confusion as to what you mean. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:25 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | @pazzo Sure. But if my memory serves me right, and I think you know it as well, the basket of early basketball had no net, I think. :-) | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:11 | comment | added | user6951 | @DamkerngT. Except that the OP has never stated he is talking about a basketball net. He has said a basket. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 5:06 | comment | added | david piper | It could be that English is lacking here because there's no doubt that in Spanish you would just say "canasta!" which means exactly what you want it to mean. | |
| Jun 3, 2015 at 4:52 | comment | added | Maulik V | Stay away from controversy! Just say... "You did/missed it" :) | |

| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:15 | comment | added | Jim | The opposite is "He made a basket" | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:12 | comment | added | chumakoff | What is the opposite of the phrase 'to miss the basket' that contains the word 'basket' ? | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:08 | comment | added | Jim | If the shot was in any way difficult or tricky, you can use hit a basket: Wow he just hit a 3-pointer. Wow he just hit one from half-court. He hit a 2-pointer at the buzzer. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:04 | comment | added | Jim | The typical phrase for describing a person's action when they've made a basket is ... made a basket: Wow you just made a basket. "Hey Mom, guess what, Billy just made three baskets in a row!" | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:02 | comment | added | Jim | Uhmm, those phrases all imply that. You would not say any of those if the ball didn't go in the basket. | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 22:01 | comment | added | chumakoff | Thank you, great examples! But what phrases with the same context can I use that have a meaning that the ball is in the basket? | |
| Jun 2, 2015 at 21:58 | comment | added | Jim | You can just say, "Score!" or "He shoots, he scores!" "Good one" "Nice shot" "Way to go" "< your son's name > for two." | |
