Hubie Brown like many good coaches is really good calling a game and picking apart plays. Al McGuire was good at that too. It was the only thing good about Bobby Knight calling games.

Kawhi Leonard is shooting 24 of 30 (80%) on shots between 10-14 feet in the playoffs. I mean, look at this green. These are better than layups for him. It's insane. pic.twitter.com/XCB39UveHg

broke: everyone shoots 3s at 36% bc efficiency
woke: one guy shoots all the shots from 10 ft at 80% bc efficiency

fr tho, if guys start becoming hyperefficient midrange shooters (like >60%) it will change the game 4ever

being a good midrange shooter is a big advantage when defenses starts to tighten in the offs

Ideal scenario is that midrange efficiency increases enough that points per is competitive/interchangeable with 3s

fwiw the idea that those shots that kawhi is making inside the ft have become unpopular in the nba is just not true, there was a chart around here somewhere, its really just the long twos thatve been converted to three thats the big shift, i mean even james harden himself takes 10 footers

i watched part of the game iversons sixers took off of the lakers a while ago and it was crazy how many shots guys were taking one step inside the line or with their foot on the line they just didnt care lol

in this past regular season, only 5 players averaged 3 or more shots from 10-14 feet per game. they've all played in an all-star game. any guesses?

Are two of them on the San Antonio Spurs

chris paul has to be one

kawhi luka butler

2.5 correct answers, please specify a spur

tim duncan

demar

Everyone panicking about the nuggets again. Amazing how people respond to one playoff game. I guess I did it too

i think its fair to panic about this series the clips are really good and a tough match up for thee nuggs also they have kawhi who is the terminator

they got beverly back, pg stopped drinking before games

jamal going fuego might get them a game, but yeah, clips figuring out how to play with each other is not good 4 the dank nugs

not good for anyone

kawhi could win back to back titles/finals mvps on different teams. and he might be out of the league in 2 years.

why would he be out of the league in two years?

chronic injuries

*chronic DEGENERATIVE injuries

demar, kawhi, and cp3 were right. other two are kyrie and booker.

Also the kind of guy that could retire mid season and just disappear

i think the nuggets are pretty big dogs in this series

don't really expect them to win more than 1 game

clips have the best roster in the offs pretty easy

This was definitely a schedule loss for the nuggets. Obviously they’re the underdog but that’s why you play the games!

Clippers bring me no joy. I think that if the Finals ends up being Clips vs. Celts I will actually, painfully root for the latter.

celts are fun, u shd not feel pain rooting for them

would much prefer clips over lakers tbh

honestly, celts clippers would be an amazing matchup. both feature two outstanding wings, celts with their up and comers, clippers with their established all-stars. bev on kemba matchup. lotta hoop left tho.

clips vs celtics final would be a tough moral dilemma for me! ugh i'd have to go boston in that one i guess

also i think i swore never to post here again in the Clips win a chip

Clips vs. Celts, 7 PM EDT. A bubbly Microsoft billionaire and his merry band of guns-for-hire set out to topple an NBA dynasty. Rated PG.

series would swing on if marcus smart can psychologically destroy paul george

i have to see this

heat stuntin on the bucks

Why are the Heat so good at slowing Giannis Antetokounmpo? It's not because they double-team or switch well. It's because they close his space by ... stunting.

Here's how they do it and how the Bucks can respond.https://t.co/K4CL3BYPWp

the play.... everything

The greatest victor of the playoffs would be the Raptors

this is like when it snows in september or something and a guy goes “so what about global warming?”

is the midrange snow and 3 pters global warming?

global warming is caused when guys get hot from midrange

shot migration away from the CENTER and towards the periphery is a METAPHOR for climate change induced migration away from the CENTER of the earth ~think abt it~

I’m surprised jokic wasn’t on that 10-14ft list

also I just don’t think the nuggs have a chance this series, so I’m not freaking out
