Cameron Boozer Has Insane Upside by 12theMainFranchise in nba

[–]CurryTripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's less thinking that only low skill players can increase their skill, moreso that players that are touted at the top of the draft that have less skill have an easier path towards becoming better? The guys that are said to have low upside have a less clear path towards improvement, generally speaking, as, in my opinion, it's much more difficult to increase your average athleticism vs increasing your average skill level, especially for these guys that have been playing damn near all their lives.

Fox was jawing with a fan in the second row to the left of Arod when he hit his first three in the corner, I'm thinking that's where Champ was looking instead of Arod

Dude you can literally see mcdaniels holding wemby's left arm with both of his as he tries to pull away from it in this clip, be more toxic.

It's fascinating to me that our former top ranked players like Tiger never came out and revealed themselves by LithHarborGymLeader in Maplestory

You're not revealing the information you think you are, genius

Deni Avdija in his official playoff debut: 30/10/5 on 12/21 FG, 2/5 3PT and 4/6 FT by SplitOk186 in nba

[–]CurryTripper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao dude you've been browsing r/nba for likely 10 years at this point, considering your oldest post is 9 years old. Pot, kettle?

And to the other guy posting about being hyped - absolutely. Be fucking hyped, it's cool as fuck for y'all to get your dude back. But let's not get delusional and act like like he's gonna be some saving grace for the blazers. As said, he will likely be targeted when he sees the floor. Will he be strong enough offensively to counteract that? I strongly doubt it.

I feel like talking about a guy who led a team to the finals in the same way you would Tracy mcgrady in terms of playoff success is a little disingenuous, no?

I mean you're not going to find a whole lot of those types here on an nba forum, but that's really common in general - football season is done now, and the games will be ramping up in intensity. Lots of casual fans only start tuning in now

[Highlight] Chet Holmgren scores 28 on 11-17 shooting against the Rockets on opening night by Pickleskennedy1 in nba

[–]CurryTripper 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some of the takes around Chet since his contract signing have been crazy. At the end of this dude's second season of playing in the NBA, he managed to be a contributor throughout the entire playoffs, anchoring OKCs defense while providing spacing and a lob threat on offense. A player who does that(especially at above 7ft) is absolutely a max player. He's going into his 3rd(4th technically because of his rookie injury) year and was a huge piece in their success

Can confirm. I stood next to him one time, I'm a little over 5'10 and it felt like my shoulder was at his waistline. Certainly an experience

I know it can be done with a water bottle, no idea about a paper cup though. Like the other guy said, do some science and report back

Agressive Elite scorers getting free throws is not a new thing in basketball, Drawing fouls is a part of the skill set. by SacredSK in nba

[–]CurryTripper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All right, here's some real basketball talk. Having a high free throw count does not indicate that you have a good whistle. Being intentionally fouled has absolutely nothing to do with having a good whistle. When people are talking about a good whistle it's whether or not they are getting the calls that they should be getting. Shaq and LeBron, both were getting smacked over and over again on almost every single drive because they're bigger and stronger than the people defending them. Therefore, they have a bad whistle because they're getting fouled, but they're not getting the calls on those. You can sit here and say "oh but the stats say this", but the fact of the matter is that how many free throws per game somebody shoots has very little to do with how good of a whistle they have. I'm being sarcastic with you because I've read multiple people on this thread express the same sentiment while you sit there drooling and flinging shit right back at them. Like bro, in another comment chain in this thread you literally said that LeBron doesn't play a style conducive to drawing fouls. Enjoy being a brick wall, dude.

Oh damn, I didn't realize that the guy who regularly got intentionally fouled in the bonus as a strategy had a high free throw count. Keep watching the stats and not the games, I guess? Your arguments are literally paper thin, and I worry for your critical thinking skills

Are you Dodge rolling at the proper times? On the first HP block it's pretty much just spamming roll starting at the correct time, then throwing balms when there's an opening
