malone needs to get over his obsessions with defense and realize the team he has is suited to be an offensive juggernaut and just learn how to harness that. or we need a new coach

I mean it sucks that MPJ has the basketball IQ of a puppy but he was +6 last night. the number of times he made defense-minded substitutions when the nuggs were down double digits was infuriating. torrey craig should not be getting more than 10 minutes in game 5 imo

“I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of love and joy … which they certainly need,” Nurse said last week before cracking a smile. “Hopefully that’ll translate to the court.”

yeah that one was obvious and i think there was another similar one on kemba in OT

don’t really understand why they release the last 2 minute reports to the public. if they are striving for some sort of transparency they could just release them to the teams but it mainly just provides fuel for people to complain about officiating for longer. maybe that kind of engagement is the point lol
― k3vin k., Thursday, 10 September 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link
did they explain how the clock went from 2.2 secs to 0.9 on the inbound play?

Scottie Pippen had a juice drink in the 90's called "Zippin." It was EXTRAORDINARY.It launched in Baltimore/DC, Chicago, and upstate NY and was promptly discontinued. I think about it all the time and I hope, wherever he is, Scottie Pippen appreciates the lives he changed. pic.twitter.com/EA2nTwOUxM— Ben Rosen (@Rosen) February 11, 2020

― k3vin k., Thursday, September 10, 2020 6:09 PM (fifty-one minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
its transparency with the public, but the thing that would be actually interesting is releasing the report for the whole game
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:02 (three years ago) link
everyone otm about these reviews tho. its out of control.
― Spottie, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:09 (three years ago) link
the challenges are real bad too, they just immediately get game theoried to 'save this to use on only a 3pt foul'
― ciderpress, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:22 (three years ago) link
they shd just give each team 3 challenges and thats it the refs cant review anything on their own except last two mins of the game
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:24 (three years ago) link
or mb not even last two mins idk
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:25 (three years ago) link
not enough uninterrupted gameplay/"uptime" has always been a leading criticism of the game and all this stuff just makes it worse
― ciderpress, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:25 (three years ago) link
yeah i mean people hate bad calls but the thing thatll make them stop watching is the game being unwatchable
― lag∞n, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:27 (three years ago) link
none of these measures even get rid of bad calls though, they just give the league a little more plausible deniability
― ciderpress, Thursday, 10 September 2020 23:43 (three years ago) link
just review mostly everything during tv timeouts

NBA: look here! we publically admonish our refs and tell them to do better in the future.

i’m not sure what we get out of the NBA being like “yeah our refs screwed up royally at the end there” but it happening like every game for years on end
― J0rdan S., Friday, 11 September 2020 00:15 (three years ago) link
i think the purpose is to make it clear that they know what their own rules are, they haven't changed and although a poor interpretation of the rules led to a team losing, um... see point one

beginning to think not ever playing a center is maybe not the best strategy

removing all plausible centers from your roster doesnt give you a lot of flexibility as far as playing centers goes
― lag∞n, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:32 (three years ago) link
you gotta have a center
― ciderpress, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:33 (three years ago) link
interesting that all the teams poised to make deep, or deeper-than-expected, runs this year are highly versatile and can play with different lineups and different offensive and defensive styles. i wonder if the houston rockets have noticed this trend.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:34 (three years ago) link
it didnt show up in the data
― lag∞n, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:35 (three years ago) link
an interesting fact I read the other day is that there are 5 positions in basketball and one of them is center. It's usually the taller players.
― Fetchboy, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:36 (three years ago) link
you should email the rockets
― lag∞n, Friday, 11 September 2020 01:38 (three years ago) link
If your center happens to be Anthony Davis that helps too
― (•̪●) (carne asada), Friday, 11 September 2020 01:50 (three years ago) link
what are the other "positions" and are the rockets familiar with them
think how far they could go with this knowledge 🚀

Harden 2-11 from the field, 1/6 from 3... finishes with 21 points, 16 coming at the freethrow line.
How does any human being actually enjoy watching this?? Shit is abhorrent, and execs like Morey that actively encourage it are a plague.

I wasn’t able to watch this no doubt exhilarating game of hooping and hoisting but did notice checking the box score just now that the rebound advantage for the Lakers was 52-26. They literally had twice as many rebounds. Seems connected somehow to the above conversation about centers but I can’t put my finger on it.

russ never making any effort to fix his obviously fucked up jump shot
At the apex of a jump shot, the vertical velocity of the body approaches zero so shooting at the apex or slightly after puts more pressure on the upper body energy transfer @bballbreakdown pic.twitter.com/YvhLCsXCMk— BBiomechanics (@BBiomechanics) September 11, 2020
