It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

was just looking at that embiid had a big game w jimmy out

76ers have some things to figure out for sure. Jimmy injury just delays that.

Kings v wolves was probably a fun watch 141-130. Bogdanovic has been really great since he came back from injury. Makes them that much better. Would be cool if they find a way to make the playoffs in place of, say... the rockets.

Also shumpert seems like a good vet fit there.

bogdan is a good offensive player

it was a good night for the nuggets lol

re lebrons shooting
http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/25513076/three-point-revolution-lebron-noticed

While James will never be a marksman of Curry's caliber -- who has never shot less than 41 percent from 3-point territory and is currently hitting 49 percent this season, James is hitting a respectable 37.1 percent this season (up from a career average of 34.4) on the highest volume of his career. That's better than the likes of J.J. Redick, Dame Lillard, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant.

It's OK that James will never wrest the unofficial title of "Greatest Shooter Ever to Live" from Curry (although he is, surprisingly, second in all-time for playoff 3-pointers behind only Curry), just as Curry will never receive the same credit for his passing or overall command of a game on both ends that James does.

But James has entered into a realm of respectability from the outside that is a far cry from his reputation.

He's a decent shooter. Which is what makes his relatively low FT% head-scratching. It's gotten worse over the years!

the FT thing is really weird. hes been pretty lucky that it hasnt cost him in a big moment

free throws are almost like putting though, sort of different mental element to it compared to shooting in the flow of a game

yeah i agree with m@tt... bron's mechanics always kinda come and go (bron watchers in the media have talked about this for years obv) and there's a lot more time to think when you're at the line

plus i think it's the same wrt putting where once you start having a problem with it, you start thinking about having a problem with it, which makes the problem worse which makes you think about it more which makes the problem worse

actually that's just more like life in general

agree!

i still kind it kinda weird w bron tho cos hes so mentally strong.

i also feel like lebron doesn't really give a fuck about like 90% of what happens in any given regular season game at any point... when he "needs" to make FTs he doesn't seem to miss them at any higher of a rate than any other player who isn't an auto 90% FT shooter

thing about brons shot is he makes as many as he does on talent not having good consistent form and its hard to talent in the high % of fts u need to theyre really unforgiving

i also feel like lebron doesn't really give a fuck about like 90% of what happens in any given regular season game at any point... when he "needs" to make FTs he doesn't seem to miss them at any higher of a rate than any other player who isn't an auto 90% FT shooter

is this true though? I feel like I can recall a bunch of missed clutch FTs

even that game a week or two ago where the lakers won on outback or something was following a missed bron FT iirc

it's def mental thing

But I feel that can be combated by having a solid routine. I am the king of the yips but do well on in-game FTs cause I have confidence in my routine.

dinwiddie is a p cool player

Dinwiddie on how he got hot: “If I hit two 3s in a row, I feel like Steph. So I hit a couple 3s, boy, I’m telling you, I felt like I was 6-3 and light-skinned. I wasn’t going to stop shooting after that.” #Nets

what the hell? what is the "regular rotation?"

What possible purpose does it serve to release a statement like that?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

if you've paid jabari parker $20mm as a known reclamation project during the offseason and then in mid-december made this announcement, you have provided clear evidence that all your coaches and front office people should be fired immediately.

It’s so dumb. Just play him less and keep it in house idgi at all. Unless they’re making it public cos he was the one leading the mutiny and they want to mess with his reputation a bit?

could be i guess although all you heard out of milwaukee was how much they liked him as a guy. it doesn't seem like he'd have the clout to lead the revolt.

i defer to the simplest explanation which is that they have absolutely no idea what they are doing

Otm

I think my theory that the bucks were better off with Jabari was one of my stronger ones

*without

that ejection of nene was complete horseshit

It’s also really really funny that this happened after Jabari gave that “defense doesn’t matter” interview

Chris Paul really shimmied the rockets into a 38 win season

xp yeah but how long ago was that?

like, they gave jabari no chance to demo that he was good physically and they didn't coach him up to improve his game. it's pure malpractice. i don't like him as a player but there has to be something to salvage there.

That defense quote was during this last offseason lol

the bulls are comical... i’m even more convinced they’re the new knicks

i remember some reporters last year basically outright saying jabari was an asshole in milwaukee towards the end bcuz he wasn’t getting as many minutes as he wanted

so the next few months should be fun!

maybe they’ll buy him out? does he even get more than a minimum contract next year?

i remember that too. i think there was a conscious effort not to smear him on the way out while confirming that he didn't like his role.
