I'm going to guess that the chute reference relates to skydiving. I have to believe that the metaphor would be about preparation. Something akin to if you don't take the time to properly prepare and pack your chute right before you jump, then you'd better be ready for a big fall when it doesn't open.
The basketball equivalent of study the rules, work on your fitness, have a proper pregame and put yourself in a position to succeed when you take the court rather than having some situation come up that you aren't prepared to handle and you crash down hard.
