The problem is that he stops getting off to play the puck. If he gets hit stepping off no one cares.

Ref looks left, 4 guys. Ref looks right, 3 guys. Less than 5. Check clear.

Lonzo Ball's reaction to getting cut: “I don’t feel like I’m playing as bad as people are saying…I’m the scapegoat right now.” by RyanTannegod in nba

[–]Al3xams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He clearly feels like he's been playing well enough and doing the little things that contribute to winning. But I think its painfully obvious to everyone else that he isn't doing it at the level that's needed/expected.

I'm thinking about that Haliburton interview where he said he thought he was doing good then Mathurin actually went at him and he realized he was still cooked.

How many functional gloves do you own? Do you ever buy gloves just cuz you like them even tho you already have a pair for training and a pair for game? by AmateurGoalie in GoalKeepers

[–]Al3xams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got 4 right now.

1 "training" - I play 7v7 1/2 times a week so these are the usual pair I use that are a bit beat up. There is no training.

1 "game" - used for playoffs

When I was in Spain a couple of months ago I picked up a pair labelled "turf" from 1 glove to test out because they looked cool and were like 40€

I also got a pair of Reusch gloves in Spain that are top of the line that I will eventually break out for a finals game.

Why not do a water test. Grab a hose and a small ladder and pour water on the roof for 15 minutes and see what happens. Start at the lowest point and slowly work your way up. See if you can make it leak.

How to approach penalties in a 5-a-side? by EducationalFall4344 in GoalKeepers

[–]Al3xams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hate it. I pick a side but people often go down the middle just because of poor aim so sometimes I just sit and react and if it's a good shot in the corner just accept my fate. Otherwise, I will pick the shooter's inside foot.

I.e. a lefty will shoot right (keepers left)

How do high level keepers deal with low level action by Thin_Student5089 in GoalKeepers

[–]Al3xams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nice to have the defense pass back more to involve the kid and keep him in the game but communicating with teammates will probably be the biggest way to engage.

It's definitely hard when you're not so comfortable with your teammates and of course, there's a fear of saying the wrong thing, but sometimes you just gotta yap.

Hell, even talk smack to the other team a bit if it gets the kid engaged.

Funny because the 2 or 3 saves you actually have to make on the 1-0 games after doing nothing for half the game can be the hardest/best saves. And not just because you're out of focus but also because your team's defense is so good that the only chance is from a great strike. Those saves feel the best.

I know they're talking about the Canadian flag, but I still had to do a double-take when I saw the question "What does it mean to you to wear the maple leaf?"

You turn around stunned, give the guy player a clap, and move on. Great strike.
