guess it was on a made corner three where he fell over after, sounds vaguely familiar, think it was in the 4th

just hope he gets another coaching job next year and brings along reggie miller and shaq as assistants

otm

this has to be satire, right?

lol yea its PFTcommenter! who i guess has diversified to the NBA

"intelligent sports storytelling" lmao rmde

not sure, author fucked up a/an and there/their at least three times in the first paragraph which made it impossible for me to traverse further

its deliberate, thats the PFT schtick

"intelligent sports storytelling" lmao rmde

It's just like IDM what's the fuss.

Steph Curry is 6 threes away from the record for most 3 pointers in one postseason, after game 1 of the conference finals.

wow

saw a stat on twitter that he made 30/45 left corner 3's this season

100% eFG ^

I loved Kerr going small in this game w draymond Barnes splash bros and Livingston as a quasi sf

Mostly made possibly by Dwight being out but still Barnes was kinda great

I realized what I hate the most about harden drives it's his head snapping back like a pez dispenser with no relation to any actual contact

Barnes been ballsy all playoffs I think. xp

barnes sneaky good all playoffs yeah.

there was a really good slowmo of him doing that on a jump shot in the game, he got hit on the wrist rose up and then snapped his head back as he released lol

I remember him doing the head snap and then composing himself to lob it to smith for a layup

I still don't know what the hell to make of Harrison Barnes. There's a certain type of athletic swingman who seems like he should be a star but just never gets the usage or seems to even want it. There are definitely worse things than a really athletic dude who shoots 40% from 3 tho.

He's turned into a versatile defender too.

He wasn't shy about shooting the ball (and making it!) in the Memphis series when Klay and Steph were cold.

doesnt seem like barnes really has the creativity to be a big scorer but he certainly is thriving in his current role

he's sort of a Mickael Pietrus/Martell Webster type. Very clearly defined role and won't surprise you but valuable.

ya

the problem with those guys is when they're on bad teams and their role becomes "scorer" they become Darius Miles

there's only one Darius Miles

imo Barnes is really smart, unlike Darius Miles.

I still think about this game from time to time. Probably the greatest fantasy basketball performance of all time, considering how much of an outlier it was.

I went to almost every home game that year, it was a dark time in my life

If Darius had good knees he probably would have had one or two great seasons in a long and frustrating NBA career

Charles Barkley just described Kyle Korver as a "standing jumpshooter"

what teague and kyries dads played together at BU

didn't know that, very cool

hawks looking a lot like the old hawks again :]

Barnes kinda surprised me with a p authoritative dunk in the third or fourth last night but yeah generally, probably the smartest thing Kerr did to start the year was pop Barnes into the starting lineup where he can just hustle and shark out points instead of creating

The funny comparison right now is Trevor Ariza ha

This might be the first time I've ever seen Lebron with two fouls before halftime

the only thing that kept him from being invisible in this quarter

jr exploding

teague looking extremely recovered

glad he got the memo that he should dominate on offense

cavs cant stop the hawks penetration, hawks cant stop bron in the post

Bron backed down demarre so long there I thought he was gonna get called for the Mark Jackson rule

I think I figured out why dellavedova bothers some of u its that he has a lot of unnecessary movement like pumping his arms a little too much when running or whipping his head back and forth a lot as a play develops

For some reason it sticks out a lot with him

Haha bazemore hitting the shot and running straight into the tunnel that guy is the best

cavs D is... not good lol

i think i said or at least implied way upthread that if the hawks really have a shot in this series it's because the cavs d will break down and look v sorry and they'll just have all kinds of open shots

teague is just getting completely all the way to the rim every time

from what i gather from #futurelaker demarre carroll is lookin pretty good tonight
