idk what changed about dame but one thing i'll give him is as psycho good as he's been in recent years he nearly always collapsed under playoff defenses. not sure he really does that anymore
― Clay, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 04:19 (three years ago) link
he has discovered The Mindset
Heard him talking on JJ Reddick's podcast about how he's improved the mental aspects of his game, how the game has slowed down for him, learning team's sets and tendencies etc. He's def in that physical prime yet savvy veteran sweet spot.

i'm a lot more comfortable w/ Trent and Melo shooting threes than basically anyone on the Lakers not named LBJ/AD ever touching the ball.
Lakers roster is hot garbage and they may not lose this series, but they deserve to.
― alpine static, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 11:08 (three years ago) link
also criticizing Trent for his D on LeBron is weird? he got down low, worked hard and tried to stay in front of the greatest basketball body ever, idk what more anyone wants.
the Blazers have no one to deal w/ LeBron, obviously. Trent and Melo just have to hang on.
also, Whiteside was good tonight but they need Zack back to win this.
Trevor Ariza would help too!
― alpine static, Wednesday, 19 August 2020 11:11 (three years ago) link
though i suppose Avery Bradley would help the Lakers, so strike that about Ariza. no whining!

Sounds like Will Barton won’t be back this year :/

i don't think anyone was criticizing trent btw, he was doing his best and he's competent but like physically he's not in the league of guys who do an ok job against lebron.

The NBA 3-Point line is 23.75 feet from the basket. According to the NBA's player tracking system, Damian Lillard's last 2 3-pointers last night were 31.4 feet and 34.0 feet from the basket. pic.twitter.com/k0OeK2AXkA— Kirk Goldsberry (@kirkgoldsberry) August 19, 2020

The real question for the Bucks is this: are the below-average percentage shooters they freely allowed to fire from downtown all season still below-average percentage shooters in this open gym setting?— Mike Prada (@MikePradaNBA) August 18, 2020
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 19 August 2020 15:43 (three years ago) link
pretty much nothing we’ve seen in the bubble would suggest it’s a good idea to let the heat shoot a bunch of three pointers, if that ends up being the second round match up

Jacque Vaughn says the Nets have made some "small tweaks" defensively but he doesn't seem too concerned about "VanFleet" or his shooting. Unlike Lillard, Vaughn says that, historically, "VanFleet" hasn't hit those long 3s at a high rate... pic.twitter.com/KNIv7eqO1D— Josh Lewenberg (@JLew1050) August 19, 2020

:( per mayo clinic:OverviewFoot drop, sometimes called drop foot, is a general term for difficulty lifting the front part of the foot. If you have foot drop, the front of your foot might drag on the ground when you walk.Foot drop isn't a disease. Rather, foot drop is a sign of an underlying neurological, muscular or anatomical problem.
