My theory re bron's shooting is that all the juice has made him more powerufl but he hasn't been able to adjust his shooting touch to accomodate the extra strnegth

he was a better shooter last year when he was way bigger
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 18:41 (eight years ago) link
well he's still murder in the post and the warriors are letting him get there whenever he wants

yeah feeling like a change in defensive approach might be in order

I bet we see some stretches of full on ball denial and preemptive double teaming tonight to try to frustrate him into taking more jump shots. Might even throw both bigs at him if/when Tristan is the 5

Also Steph better stop playing like a shook ass mark asap

need to get the time haters to whip him into shape

He was at peak juice then but then deflated, maybe deflating and rejuicing has led to the shakiness
― 龜, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:18 (eight years ago) link
i don't think you're far off - i think he went back on some kind of juice by the all-star break

i dont think theres any easy explanation for why bron is shooting so terribly its prob a combination of things he has i feel like always been streaker than most and was never pure
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:19 (eight years ago) link
his form is bad for sure
― 龜, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:20 (eight years ago) link
People have down years shooting the ball too. If Ray Allen can have one anyone can.
― Matt Armstrong, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 19:21 (eight years ago) link
I think Lebron's shooting form is fine, he just floats and fades a little too much (something he cut out in Miami)
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

ya tru

Steph's numbers post-fall are bad
Field goal shooting: 26-of-73, 35.6%3-Point shooting: 10-of-36, 27%

it's also a really small sample size
― 龜, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:02 (eight years ago) link
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.
― Mr. Murphy in the wine bar. (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
he came back and hit like 5 three's the game

rip

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
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
