it really does from that first angle looks like he pushes himself up w his off arm or something but then no its just jumping xp

Kinda bummed by this Lonzo season. I guess you can’t shoot this badly and get it done.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 December 2019 15:44 (four years ago) link
just saw yet another article about how hew rebuilding his shot
― lag∞n, Thursday, 12 December 2019 16:10 (four years ago) link
He definitely changed the mechanics a lot. I feel like he’s completely focused on 3 pointers to his detriment.
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 December 2019 16:34 (four years ago) link
its horrible and also an incredible story how he shoots like that cause his crazy dad made him shoot 3s when he was too small
― lag∞n, Thursday, 12 December 2019 16:38 (four years ago) link
He should have given him the Maravich pistol technique
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 December 2019 16:44 (four years ago) link
Maravich somehow just switched to a normal jumper when he got strong enough tho
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 December 2019 16:45 (four years ago) link
yeah its fn weird he just kept shooting like that

he should take the ben simmons approach to 3s.
― de-mamba mentality (Spottie), Thursday, 12 December 2019 17:07 (four years ago) link
imo the question for lonzo is can he learn how to play meaningfully w/in a halfcourt offense while off the ball? bcuz as long as the pels have ingram and zion and jrue, he's never going to be handling the ball much. if he can't ever shoot then it's a huge problem because then he's basically like late career rondo if he's ever on the court w/ the team's three other best players. personally i still think he needs to get to a team that has minutes to give to a ball dominant guard, prob as a sixth man, so that he can properly start to develop his game. he needs to find his oladipo in indiana or whatever. i can still envision him as like... jamal crawford/lou williams level impact in the style of jason kidd's game. but in new orleans that's not gonna happen and i feel like he might just flame out of the nba.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 12 December 2019 17:38 (four years ago) link
It’s hard for me to imagine that he can’t hack it with his defense, passing and size. Ricky Rubio figured it out (and was a net positive from the jump).
― Matt Armstrong, Thursday, 12 December 2019 17:42 (four years ago) link
yeah but rubio's teams put the ball in his hands from the jump. that's why i think lonzo needs a new team. the problem is you start going down the list of even the bad teams and it's hard to find a place that has no other guards it wants to develop. i feel like the lavar in the no 1 media market aspect might make it untenable, but the knicks would be a great place for him to land.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 12 December 2019 18:06 (four years ago) link
yikes yeah
― k3vin k., Thursday, 12 December 2019 19:30 (four years ago) link
Lonzo on the Knicks would be perfect. This has to happen.

btw where are the trades we need trades
We're now at 149 days and counting since our last finalized NBA trade (completed July 16). Aside from lockouts in 1998 and 2011, that's the longest trade-free stretch since the ABA-NBA merger according to my analysis of the ProSportsTransactions archive (https://t.co/8QScAbB09s).— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) December 12, 2019

Heartbroken for @JohnWall. His beloved mother, Frances Pulley, passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. The job she did raising John into the man he is today — incredible.

Celtics/76ers game last night was my first watching from the League Pass backboard POV cam. That + the lack of any commentary audio (but waaay more court sound) is so deeply weird. Funny how most of the game kinda looked like practice footage, and whole atmosphere visibly/audibly changes in like the last 90 seconds. Can’t remember, but do they also kinda hide the score/time in the corner, too? Real CCTV vibes.
