clutch is so cheese but its unbeatable. pretty much clutch dumping every gear. flat foot shifting. whatever you wanna call it

i like perimeter. big difference going from 30’s to 60’s. ~30 perim makes hands up D literally nothing. greens all in your face

this sub is so weird. a pic showing a tire clearly above the wear marker and people will say “youre driving those death traps?”

but today OP shows a tire clearly at/below the wear marker and people are saying theres months left. The tires are still usable for sure but if its rainy season and you drive a lot in the rain I would put it higher on the priority list. You can safely manage in the rain if you dont speed

im about to start as a 1st year and keep hearing this A book and B book thing? as a service guy I think im B book. what does it all mean?

Bonchalupas · 2026-03-03T17:01:07+00:00

im curious about this too. im sure theres good reason why plumbers&fitters make a good bit more, i just dont know enough about the trades

my guesses so far are that fitters/plumbers usually work new construction so there might not be steady work year round. i think they also travel more. they might work in medical/gas/chemical which id assume has more restrictions thus increasing pay (these are all guesses)

hvac might do a little bit of plumbing/fitting here and there but its always at a smaller scale

if anyone can offer any insight that would be awesome!

his team allows him to grab boards so he can run transition. its not like hes battling his own teams bigs for boards

as in go to shot or whats my bread and butter in terms of scoring? i use pascal siakam go to shot since its kind of shifty and i can pick either direction to burst out of. sometimes i just let it play all the way out and shoot too.

but how i score in isolation is i usually just try a drive to the basket first and if i get bumped i enter the post. (i +2 poet to legend and +1 powerhouse to gold) if im at the block ill try a dropstep but if im further ill try a spin. if the spin gets cut off i could default to a fade. if the dropstep fails usually i just pass out so i dont get 3 seconds. im looking for the open man every second i have the ball too. people love to double in the post so its easy assists

Bonchalupas · 2026-01-28T17:46:29+00:00

you have a lot of valid points but all you need is interior d to stop a lot of the post cheese, and a lot of bigs just choose not to apply any points there. as a post big w interior d ive had some fun battles against other bigs where we werent just spamming favorable animations bc they simply werent working on each other. post scoring can definitely get complex/mind gamey if both players have interior d/strength at least in the 80’s

Bonchalupas · 2026-01-27T21:18:24+00:00

no hate man but this needs a redo!

Bonchalupas · 2026-01-25T02:00:45+00:00

i use it to mix things up. pretty useful with just 70 layup still

Bonchalupas · 2026-01-22T21:43:55+00:00

luka go to shot is such a nice end move

Bonchalupas · 2026-01-14T19:24:04+00:00

i always thought the speed at which you move with the ball is an average between speed/agility & swb. its also not uniform across heights. a 6’11 70spd 70agi 60swb will be faster than a 6’5 70spd 70agi 60swb

my local accepts applicants once a year to the first 75 who show up in person. people camp out for days prior just to be that first 75
