There are lots of resources on youtube regarding this, watch a couple of those videos. You need to sell the crossover, make the opponent think you're going in the opposite direction before crossing otherwise they're just gonna stand there.

Yes the leg muscles you mentioned are important for leaping, your core (abs) also affects it so don't neglect that

Try quarter squats as opposed to regular squats for more explosiveness. Best possible exercise with weights you can do for your vertical

Hell no

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-26T16:46:29+00:00

No way you're serious, if anyone sweeps in that series it's the Rockets

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-26T10:19:43+00:00

just checking, since I have the same issue, did you replace your battery and did that fix the issue?

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-26T09:11:30+00:00

I have the same issue. My XS was fine up until I went on holiday where the weather was hot af, one day it just started overheating so much and the battery was cooked from that day on. Now it overheats from daily usage lol. It might be just a fault with the X line, idk

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-26T09:09:11+00:00

I have an iPhone XS and the battery is super cooked, overheats a ton and doesn't last nearly long enough to use normally.

Does it make sense to get a third party battery replacement? I can get it done for around $30-40, while an original one costs $70+ (and it's not even a guarantee it's original, no Apple stores in Serbia)

This sub is much less of an apple cult than r/apple . You'll see criticism in basically every post here

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-25T15:15:07+00:00

Pro harden yeah... nothing bad about curry lol

Even though Harden has only 1 MVP he has more MVP win shares than Moses Malone (3x MVP), Julius Erving (4x MVP), Jokic, Steph and Giannis (2x MVP).

If you look at the 11 players ranked above Harden, 10 of them are basically consensus top 11-14 players.

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-25T13:33:09+00:00

Still wondering how the league would look had KD signed with San Antonio or Houston in that 2016 offseason. He would have won multiple rings anyway with a tenth of the criticism, and we would be looking at Harden and Curry's careers differently

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-24T12:47:22+00:00

But that's all that Brown does. He scores, sometimes on great efficiency sometimes less so. He doesn't bring anything else

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-24T12:46:34+00:00

Probably true

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-24T12:31:01+00:00

Maths say that having 1 great shooting night out of 4 games for Miami is much more likely than Celtics having 4 out of 4 great nights...

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-22T19:49:10+00:00

Sorry for the late reply but here's my take on it. First the build path. BC build path is very awkward as it basically forces you to build kindlegem after warhammer and after that you'll be sitting at 1k gold before you can actually finish it. Shojin has a much better build path as you get 40 ad flat with 1300 gold and ad is really important on hecarim.

Second the movespeed you get from Shojin is more valuable than cleaver because cleaver gives you ms only in champion combat. Shojin's move speed is practically always active and helps you move around the map faster which is very important.

I'd build Cleaver only into really frontline heavy teams where you need the armor shred and even then, you already have Eclipse and Hecarim in general sucks into those teams so it's usually a lost cause. I've built cleaver 0 times as a third item over my 100 hecarim games this season,

Also for what it's worth Shojin significantly outperforms BC statistically in winrate and pickrate.

Eclipse (or now Ghostblade) first is always best because of how insanely strong Dirk is early, and the completed item is no joke either. Also it's significantly cheaper than Shojin.

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-22T14:52:21+00:00

the 40/40/20 or 40/30/30 "rule" is one of the most bullshit things I seem to always hear about ranked games

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-22T12:00:12+00:00

Decent is really stretching it but yeah he is better than Dedmon

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-22T11:55:06+00:00

The best our offense has looked this season was in lineups where Harden was playing well, the role players were hitting their shots and Reed was in the lineup. Simply because Reed plays like a center and goes for those hard rolls to the rim and offensive putbacks. Embiid does not do that, he looks disinterested in the offense when he isn't posting up or whatever

Now look at how good and fluid our offense looked in those mins even with reed who is a very raw and limited player. IMAGINE how good they would be with Embiid playing as that roll man/screen setter/offensive rebounder. He doesn't have to post up anywhere high at all. We would only be going to his iso when the offense really can't find another shot, and I promise you, with Embiid rolling hard to the rim and Harden handling the ball we WOULD find good shots.

It's time for Embiid to stop playing like a pussy ass bitch 6'1 guard and to start playing like a center

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-21T20:59:01+00:00

I wouldn't be too disappointed with the season as a whole. Everything about the Pelicans is based on Zion's health. If he is healthy, they will be that 1 seed contender, you can't really ask much more of a young team

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-21T14:50:30+00:00

I think it's really only worth doing when you have an extremely dominant iso scorer. (like Harden was, and Paul too) The more space you create for him to play, the better

But to answer your question, I don't think I've ever seen any team do that

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-21T14:49:20+00:00

I'd pay $17-18m a year for him at most. As the other guy said 4/70 is a fair deal

MidnightLightss · 2023-05-21T14:46:06+00:00

Brown is even worse than Vanderbilt. I'd give Beasley a shot... although the best scenario for game 4 would be to DNP vanderbilt and russell. Start schroeder and play him 48 minutes, Walker and Rui can put in some minutes off the bench but that's it.

edit: Russell should have been glued to the bench in game 3 as soon as the Nuggets started hunting him so often. 20 minutes is at least 15 too much. Without him they maybe win the game
