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.

LeBron used a lot of wily tricks on him

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

not sure how much space there is between steph and dame as shooters

remember a couple years ago when he was always bad in the playoffs lol

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?

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

How many games in a row has Melo hit a 3 in the last 3 mins of a close game? Five? Six?

that is interesting....apparently most guys are loving the shooting background in the gyms down there.

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

what an embarrassment

Anyone gonna start an off-season thread?

we got one 2020 nba offseason draft free agency etc

Word thanks

🤙

dang is next season really gonna start december 1

gonna be some bad overwork injuries midseason for the guys not properly conditioning

lot of rumors that theyre gonna push it back in anticipation of a vaccine

won't a vaccine take months to get out there though even after it's approved

wealth can always find a way to work its way to the front of the line

for us normies. professional athletes will surely be at the front of the line

xpost

Apparently Michael Porter Jr still has drop foot. Perhaps the first nba player to play with it?

i think it's basically confirmed that the season is starting in feb or march

Will Barton had a good season but these injuries are getting old

xp oh i thought you meant delay so they can have audiences again lol

oh no i think the delay is definitely so that they can get fans in arenas

even if it not on opening day

The president says the virus is going away so it should be fine

Jordan Clarkson finding his game in Utah was so unexpected for me

the end of the nets game was a travesty

Bit of a swipe block from Gobert there....

Jordan Clarkson finding his game in Utah was so unexpected for me

always liked the clarkson move

i think the bojan and clarkson pieces were nice rotation adds that moved the needle for them a bit. despite his awful game last night d mitch is has taken a small jump as well.

omg what did you type to find this gif? (Spottie) wrote this on thread 2019-20 NBA Regular Degular Season thread on board I Love Hoops on Jan 15, 2020

the clarkson trade is playing out better than the conley trade for the jazz.

a good trade for the jazz i think. they need anyone that can even pretend to score and clarkson can do that. if he can hover at league avg from 3 on 5-6 attempts that will help the jazz a ton.

never even heard of this. seems insane that an athlete has it

:( per mayo clinic:

Overview

Foot 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.

Foot drop, sometimes called drop foot

I call it droppy footfooty drop

jazz haven’t missed a shot in 45 minutes

feel like the refs (or at least zarba) might be tiring of jokics floppy bullshit

There was an nfl player who was able to overcome foot drop, maybe one other athlete I’ve heard of.

I think it’s also something that can go away. Anyway it’s amazing what he’s able to do with it. Wears an orthotic to correct it.

cant stop watching him run now

Theis going to foul out in 5 minutes at this rate.

i dont understand why theis doesnt shoot more threes when philly are leaving him wide open

foot drop sounds like something that should have been eradicated in the 1920s

That Tatum shot.

I hate Colangelo.

God, for the Sixers to win, Embiid has to be the best player in the series and that's going to be tough/impossible with the way Tatum is playing.

sixers def came into this game w/ a better idea of how to get clean looks but there's something poetic about them furiously trying to post their way into keeping pace w/ jayson tatum shooting pull up three pointers. 2 out of 3 possessions is a post touch for embiid, harris or horford... $90 million worth of fadeaways from the block
