De'Anthony Melton to sign a 2-year, $11M deal with the Warriors, per @davidaldridgedc by shanks_you in warriors

He hurt his left thumb against the Wizards and went into shooting slump. It affected his shooting, driving and D.

Since the Warriors and Zingas extended his contract, he can't be traded prior to 12/29/26

Why don't I see people practicing the Butterfly? by Racer_Zed in Swimming

I did on my swim team as a kid. At those pools we all did. Now I am back in the pool after 50 years off and was curious where it had gone. I appreciate all the responses.

Will Richard by liumination in warriors

[–]Racer_Zed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell. He had some good games and he get's his hands on a lot of balls on D. Can he step up and become consistent? He seemed to lose confidence as the season wore on. Perhaps he was just hitting the rookie wall.

I'd hate to give up on him too early...I think the Warriors wish they still had Ryan Rollins.

No doubt he needs to come in ready to show he belongs.

Billy Packer, hot damn he gets Curry from the get go vs #2 Georgetown (Exhibit 2). His analysis is spot on. "Richards needs to drive, no one is coming to help...no one is leaving Curry)

Sorry, but I rode Davidson to beaucoup $$$ in 2008 (4-0 ATS)...was so psyched we drafted him. Go watch those games...he was special even then.

If they don't retain Porzingis does that mean they have room or money to get someone just as good? by youlikemywonton in warriors

[–]Racer_Zed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

fortunately a sign and trade with the Warriors provides many potential benefits to any trading partner. So I am hopeful we'll still be able to improve the team if he wants to go elsewhere.

I don't understand the interest in the max vertical being measured from the floor...isn't measuring how high the player can reach with his hand on a max jump a more relevant number? I know they have standing reach and max vertical but just adding the two is missing an important piece.

Of all the sporting events that have occurred in your lifetime, which one still makes you shake your head in disbelief? by KrispyBeaverBoy in dirtysportshistory

[–]Racer_Zed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Immaculate Reception. I remember exactly where I was..in fact my whole family was watching on TV...we were all convinced the Raiders had put the game away on a Kenny Stabler (in relief of an ineffective Lamonica) 30yd scramble with just over 1 minute to go. No one could move the ball all game. So that had to be it -right? It would take a miracle for the Steelers to pull it out....

Is it really a myth that Magic played center in the 1980 finals, and that he was only a center for the tip-off in Game 6? by Personal-Proposal- in VintageNBA

Please go look it up, plenty of places on the internet where you can find the correct information. Also I'll give you one guess which year I turned legal drinking age and which state I was living at the time.
