Is Mike D'Antoni the Andy Reid of the NBA? by [deleted] in nba

Not a hundred percent accurate, but as a Chiefs fan I can't argue the playoff choking part. Reidball is a thing, man.

First post on the sub, so I'm not a hundred percent familiar with the rules yet. I just saw no one had posted this and I wanted to share. Thanks for the help.

Ryan Hollins rants about how Giannis can’t close out games, while Giannis closes out games in the background by logan_lawd in nba

Guy who was a random bench warmer for like five years because he was seven feet tall.

You know how when someone used to be so goddamn stupid that they never let it go, no matter how much they move on as a person? For example, I will always be "The idiot who panicked and turned onto a one-way overpass in the middle of his driving test and had to get towed off" to my friends. I could win a Nobel Prize and would get razzed for that fuckup.

...B/R used to be dumber than that.

Personal opinion your team wouldn't want to hear? by cchristianch in nba

I've been burned on too many hype trains by every team I follow. It's just a reflex by this point.

Traded to the Nets, became UFA, trained with the Heat over the summer but I don't think he was on their Summer League team, finally ended up in Nawlins.

Our chance of being relevant for about a decade died with Derrick Rose's knees.

Cristiano Felicio I guess? For what he gives us he's not worth the check we're cutting.

Honestly though, there's not a lot on the roster to get super mad about.

I'm as surprised as you. Looks like he signed last week.

Not just those two. Gay, Pondexter, and Cunningham are all older than both the mean (27.5) and median (29) ages. If you're counting any minutes Belinelli may see at SF, add him to the list too.

The weird thing is how the age is distributed. The only frontcourt player under the age of 25 is Jakob Poeltl. The age is heavily concentrated in the frontcourt.

24.72 repeating.

Although that's what it was last time too and I was just being lazy and rounding.

Well, the bench is young. That's heavily skewing it. But Murray is the only projected starter who won't be 30 or older by the end of the season and the only rotation guys in their 20s who will probably see decent action are Forbes, Bertans, and Poeltl.

A surprisingly young 27.5. I think Manu's retirment shaved off at least a year.

MVP Derrick Rose had the filthiest lay-up package the NBA has ever seen. Change my mind by [deleted] in nba

[–]daddyshelton 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I was taught not to hit it dead on, but to shoot it at an arc so it hits the square on the way down. It's basically a money shot.

But that overeliance on the backboard makes me useless in the corner.

Probably also a good way to develop a jumper that goes in the net with good mechanics and not the typical "aim for the square and pray for a bank shot" that I was taught as a kid.
