waiting for the other shoelace to drop: 2013-2014 NBA regular season thread (part 2)

he spent a very long time in a system that maximized his effectiveness imo

also he sometimes develops strong hatreds for certain teammates, so the rockets might become the nba's best story.

Lin is also not very good and Morey gave him 24m over 3 years

imo he is an otherwise vv good player who just cant do the most important thing at all, like if he was as good at shooting as he was at other things he wld be a top ten player

not really sure why certain people can't become good at shooting over time, like how do you even end up playing basketball

yeah i dont really get it either, maybe its cause of the usas fucked up development system, like if youre good enough no one really even tries to make u shoot right until college

adopt the euro club system imho end aau/college athletics etc

i'm sticking with my hands-too-big theory

i mean i get it if you're shaq and your hands are the size of over mitts and the ball isn't big enough or whatever, but if you're rondo-sized it seems like you should learn to shoot okay and it shouldn't take more than like a couple hours a day over a summer maybe xp ha well maybe his hands are too big!

shooting is hard guys

oh dear god the hand size thing

idk i was pretty good at it when i was like 14 xp

his cands cant be bigger than dirks hands whats the problem here folks

such a shame kwame's little hands didn't help him shoot better

maybe its that he has cands instead of hands weird never noticed that

it doesn't mean someone with big hands can't be a good shooter or someone with small hands must be a good shooter

maybe rondos giant hands are throwing his whole entire form off but it just looks bad all around in a non hands sort of way

agreed, it's not a smooth shot starting from the legs up

hands a make her dance

looks like the ball is resting in his palm? not good

oh man that picture its like hes trying to everything bad and wrong

stockholm syndrome en masse

lmao bison

I mean don't kawhi and giannis both have fingers that wrap around the ball twice?

big hand may make shooting harder but there are very many players with bigger hands than rondo who shoot better than him

@Mike_Bresnahan: Steve Blake is leaving Staples Center, saying goodbye to coaches. Deal with Golden State obviously moving quickly

I need a top 5 largest hands in the NBA chart. PReferably done in the shape of a giant hand

How many of those players are 6'1?

Always assumed Rondo having huge hands was only considered significant because they are hilariously disproportionate to his body.

Plus he's nowhere near as bad a shooter as is being made out.

size relative to ones body doesnt seem like it shd make a differnce its more relative to the ball no, and he is really a very bad shooter

i mean teams staight up dont guard him on the perimiter

dang i was lookin forward to some bazemore antics in the post-season, now i will be subjected to steve blake's dumb face instead :(

golden state is really grasping for backcourt help, huh

lol most un wow trade ever

what you mean? blake makes warriors instant championship-caliber team.

dang i was lookin forward to some bazemore antics in the post-season, now i will be subjected to steve blake's dumb face instead :(

Yeah had same reax

he really has a very dumb face

he is so homely i feel sort of bad making fun of him

looks like he shd be in an old sad picture of the dust bowl

exactly, sack on a stick, toe of his shoes unstitched, sitting in a caboose, tattered lakers jersey

he'll always be a laker to me

rip bazed god you gave us the best bench reactions of all time and possibly/probably sparked a great rivalry with the Clippers due to it.

Blake/Barnes/Crawford/Speights/Oneal-Ezili

isn't too bad on paper. Speights has been showing signs of life and Barnes dunked a couple times over the last couple weeks.

the end of the bazed god era
