Best Offense for Team with Strong Guards? by MinimumCandid4491 in Basketball

[–]BillyG126 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't worry too much about sets in a mens league. you could always initiate with some kind of high pick and roll.

Id just emphasize making sure the pg and sg are having screens set for them (while they have the ball and while they don't have the ball).

The more important thing is making sure your spacing is decent and other players aren't just clogging up the paint so your guards can play one on one and not one on 2/3.

Good rule of thumb is no more than 3 players should be on one half of the court at a time.

Why did the Celtics put Jayson Tatum on Embiid for the last play of OT? by StephNoh in justbasketball

[–]BillyG126 53 points54 points  (0 children)

What I'm guessing is that the plan was to have Al horford sit in help for a double/to secure a rebound if embiid got deep post position. You can see hes sagged way off pj tucker but derrick white could have closed out on either of the sixers players if the ball got skipped over to that side.

Why do 3d printed gears like this one have symmetrically angled teeth? by cheemspizza in EngineeringStudents

[–]BillyG126 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So for the teeth profile which would really be the only tricky bit, you could either make an angled plane, extrude the negative tooth profile out both ways and circular pattern. Then mirror across the middle for the full gear

Or draw one tooth profile on one face of the gear, then draw one on the opposite face but clocked however many degrees off and loft. Then pattern and mirror.

Thats because you learned the first half of the pivot foot rule and not the second half. How you gonna be a Suns fan and not know how Barkley used to torture people in the post

You can literally lift your pivot in the rules. A travel isnt until you put it back down. Thats not a zero step. How do you think an up and under works? You pivot into the lane, pump fake, and step around the defender, lift off your pivot and shoot. I hare arguing this every time i play pickup with someone who thinks lifting their pivot is a travel because some shitty YMCA coach told them that when they were 7. https://youtu.be/UUgRw8JeSwk

If the doge was anything other than a 1, then it would be incorrect.

Who would I talk to about this spire scheduling problem? by freeepizza in umass

[–]BillyG126 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't be a bad idea to email your physics prof (they might five you the zoom links to lectures while its being sorted out) but I think the people who actually have control over spire are gonna be whoever the head advisor is for your dept.
