I think Lebron's shooting form is fine, he just floats and fades a little too much (something he cut out in Miami)
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
It's not like he shoots gross line drives like kobels
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:22 (eight years ago) link
he's also been playing on a scrap heap team for like the entire playoffs
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:30 (eight years ago) link
def a factor, but hes missed a ton of easy looks too
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:31 (eight years ago) link
his shooting has always been finicky but def in the last few miami years their system was so smooth that i think he was just in a perpetual rhythm, whereas with the cavs everything is still kinda herky-jerky even when they clicked later in the season
like you see him taking a lot of shots in these games where he comes off a pick and roll and like, takes a step towards the basket then resets and stops for a beat and shoots a jumper

it's also a really small sample size

yeah of course
― Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:03 (eight years ago) link
but it makes me nervous
yeah cld easily see his body being not quite right after that
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
landed on his arm really awkwardly too, surprised he didn't mess that up
― brownie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:04 (eight years ago) link
he needs to stage another fall. a fall like the one that made him good at basketball, though.

he came back and hit like 5 three's the game

adrenaline?
basically we are due a great curry game tonight
dubs just need to play like they did the last 3 mins of regulation and they will win 400-15

if the warriors play like they did in the final seconds of the 3rd quarter in game 2 then the Cavs win 86-0
― brownie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:14 (eight years ago) link
if every play for both teams are mo speights missed dunks the final score will be 0-0
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:15 (eight years ago) link
i'll take it

is there any benefit whatsoever to throwing david lee in there to get some quick bench buckets or will he just fuck things up
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:29 (eight years ago) link
not saying that to be like "oh i wonder why their traditionalist overpaid superstar isnt playing," i understand why he rarely played long after the injury, but at this point why not try every gun in your arsenal?
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:33 (eight years ago) link
hes been really bad when he has played
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:36 (eight years ago) link
People have down years shooting the ball too. If Ray Allen can have one anyone can.
Or Ray Allen's been juicing!
― Falconetti Pot (Leee), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:38 (eight years ago) link
David Lee could maybe throw dollar bills at Lebron, see if that stops the King.
well obviously he cant defend for shit lol, i mean just like a few quick bursts to blow through to the rim and get some post points
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
leave the defending to..literally anyone else
Yah David Lee would be a desperation move at this point. He's just too out of rhythm and out of shape to be effective.
― Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:41 (eight years ago) link
His touch has basically abandoned him
― Spottie, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:42 (eight years ago) link
they should always play like they're down by 12. similar to how some NFL teams have a mediocre offense but run a great 2-minute drill I feel like the Dubs are basically unstoppable when down by double digits

i can't wait until later today, when an important basketball game is being played on television

5PM gametime is not practical for west coast. 6 also not ideal. Should start at 7PM PST imo.

Why not 7:30

when i worked at a small investment group during the 2010 finals, my boss would take his son to the heat games that would end at like midnight and then be in the office at like 6 am
