why are they still doing the high fives >:[
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 January 2021 05:21 (three years ago) link
they will never stop
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 January 2021 05:30 (three years ago) link
i mean you could stop the ft line high fiving by instituting a one shot ft but from a viral pov theres still going to be so much other high fiving
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 January 2021 05:31 (three years ago) link
yeah it's muscle memory
i remember they were gonna try to make baseball players not spit and i was like lol never in a zillion years

again: the lane is lava
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 January 2021 05:32 (three years ago) link
it’s not about the virus, it’s about the lameness of a high five after shooting a free throw
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 January 2021 05:33 (three years ago) link
the lane is lava also prevents people from generally ambling around in the lane and wasting time like they like to

sorry about nurk clay this blazers season is cursed
well then all of the problems could be fixed by a one shot ft
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 January 2021 05:35 (three years ago) link
tbh if i was an nba player (which i very nearly was but chose to do other things with my life) i would maybe prefer breaking a bone to playing in this terrible season
― Clay, Friday, 15 January 2021 05:36 (three years ago) link
I support the one shot free throw but from a psychological experiment perspective I wanna see the players resist doing the high fives
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 January 2021 05:37 (three years ago) link

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67FoOhQLEKcwiseman does some stuff on the fast break & with the ball in his hands that i think is comparable only to giannis and bam at that size. i don’t love the way he shoots the ball but he does have pretty good touch
― J0rdan S., Friday, 15 January 2021 08:25 (three years ago) link
if the wolves give the warriors a top 6 or 7 pick in this draft and wiseman keeps developing his game in this style they will be set up to transition out of the splash bros era in a way that is totally ahistorical when you look at what happened with other dynasty type teams

Another triple-double for Jokic? Let's see if there were any real dimes w/in those 10 assists. Watches first one...🤔 pic.twitter.com/91aIq0MMOg— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) January 15, 2021

The other 9 assists are legit: https://t.co/m7MN2abHur— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) January 15, 2021
& people acting like this is some grand conspiracy. It's one questionably-scored assist out of 125 that the guy has in 12 games. He's averaging 10.4 at home & 10.4 on the road: https://t.co/UPhPyJ2N3B— John Schuhmann (@johnschuhmann) January 15, 2021

lmao.
i hope big honey wins MVP. i think they're pretty clearly the 2nd or 3rd best team in the west.

Honestly when you’re averaging a triple double the number of triple doubles is less important
― Matt Armstrong, Friday, 15 January 2021 17:27 (three years ago) link
jokic is the MVP through 12 games and it’s not even close, but idk about the nuggs being a clear top 3 team now. I’m not concerned long-term because the issues are mostly with the bench which can be fixed with trades and starters are more important in the offs, but they’re all over the place right now
murray has had a weirdly effective season. his shooting percentages are all up but his usage is down and his rebounding/assists/steals/blocks have all plummeted. the shooting being up is a good sign I think
― k3vin k., Friday, 15 January 2021 18:09 (three years ago) link
i think we can safely say they're one of the 6 best teams in the west... how we could say they're clearly better than phoenix, utah, dallas or the clippers i have no idea. nuggets defense has been heinous. who emerges from the phx/utah/dal/den tier to challenge the clippers to see the lakers in the finals feels like a complete toss up to me
btw lebron has a very strong case for MVP thru 12 games but i know that's boring and nobody wants to hear it

i think its LAL > LAC >> DENVER > utah/phx/dallas >> pdx/gsw/sas
phx is unproven and relying on like 3 players to make a leap (ayton has regressed, mikal looks to have made the leap, booker flat so far) and an old CP. utah we know exactly what they are... no one is making a leap on that team (bubble mitchell is not coming back)dallas is good they may be the best of this group but depends on how zinger looks
Denver started slow but they are proven enough imo.

lebron has a case most every year but especially if they finish with the 1 seed
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 15 January 2021 19:14 (three years ago) link
within the logic of mvp awards lebron deserves to get one more at least
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 January 2021 19:18 (three years ago) link
finishing as the one seed, coming off a championship, with no offseason, in this cursed and miserable basketball year, would definitely meet MVP criteria
― call all destroyer, Friday, 15 January 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link
i support it
― lag∞n, Friday, 15 January 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link
utah was shorthanded in the bubble, their roster has gotten better since then, whereas denver's roster has gotten worse, and in the bubble that series was basically played to a draw. even just between those two teams i would take utah... and i'd be more concerned about what happened to bubble jamal murray than bubble donovan mitchell
― J0rdan S., Friday, 15 January 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link
Fair. I just hate Gobert and don’t believe in him or a team that he’s one the best two players on at all.
― a nice controlled drift (Spottie), Friday, 15 January 2021 19:26 (three years ago) link
that was an epic series but also pretty random and kooky i think denvers better

Jokic has been the most valuable basketball player in the league through 12 games. They’re amazingly good with him on the court, really bad with him off and it’s settled out at 6-6.

have you watched closely enough to notice his pre-shot process on free throws this season? i've heard media people allude to his process being really bad and inconsistent.
