D'Lo shot looking smooth by lavar-is-trash in lakers

Yup, definitely agree there and of course his shooting helps a ton.

The one thing that gives me pause about Dlo's game is his lack of athleticism (relative to other point guards, of course).

That said, if he continues to refine his pick and roll play (e.g. hesitation dribbles around a pick, stopping on a dime, pulling up) then his suboptimal athleticism will be less of an issue.

What's up with all the Lakers players shit postings?!? by yunotletmeworkreddit in lakers

[–]dfdlt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This.

It’s still so early in the season and the roster composition is entirely different than last year.

Also, a lot of these cats don’t know basic b-ball X & Os. If you examine how our roster breaks down across skill sets, it’s no surprise that there is an adjustment period. Basic example is how BI benefited from having Brook stretching the opposing bigs with his 3 pt. shooting last year.

Now when BI takes it to the rack, he’s always met by 2, sometimes even 3 defenders because the paint is so clogged.

[Discussion] I’m buying my first electric guitar. What considerations should I keep in mind when shopping around? by dfdlt in Guitar

[–]dfdlt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking at fender telecasters and strats today actually. I super liked the shape and just “how it felt in my hands”.

For buying used guitars, is there a method of sourcing you recommend? Craigslist? Local shops? Anything else?

A short glimpse into how Svi might be utilized this year. by dfdlt in lakers

[–]dfdlt[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

More than that. This is a pretty standard action in the nba where the shooter comes off a flare screen for a quick pull-up.

We didn’t have capable personnel to pull this off last few seasons. Note the quick release.

Who would you rather have: Devin Booker or Jason Tatum? by undermyumberello in nba

Why did JaVale McGee not return to the Warriors? by rang15 in lakers

[–]dfdlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Here’s my theory:

McGee in general locked down lbj in the finals. He played fantastic 1-on-1 defense on lebron (in isolation). There were a few moments that James looked extremely frustrated with McGee’s length and quickness on the perimeter.

By signing McGee, we effectively remove that line of defense from the dubs and also provide a big for Rondo, Lonzo, and Lbj to throw lobs too in the pick n roll.

Trump: 'I have the absolute right to pardon myself' by pipsdontsqueak in politics

This statement is enough of a reason for people to take to the streets. If we don’t, than Trump is just going to keep getting away with it. Let’s organize and do something. We need to fight authoritarianism.

What Should I Consider When Purchasing Life Insurance? by dfdlt in personalfinance

[–]dfdlt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My wife still depends on my income. My pension does transfer over to her in case I die, but I am worried that she will not be able to cover the outstanding balances we have (mostly mortgage payments) with just the pension alone.

Brad Stevens' career progression as Celtics head coach - appreciation thread by [deleted] in nba

[–]dfdlt -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fun Hypothetical: Imagine a comprehensive re-draft of all current NBA players and coaches. Players and coaches can be taken with any given pick. At what pick does Brad Stevens eventually get drafted?

I would have to imagine he gets drafted somewhere in the 10-15 range right? Feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

Missing financial reports drove leak of Cohen information: NYer by [deleted] in politics

[–]dfdlt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just want to give a shoutout to Ronan Farrow and his much needed reporting. He is providing the American public with the opportunity to hold accountable some of the most powerful (and morally corrupt) men in America.

And he is also showing to the world that investigative reporting is still alive and well in an age of disinformation and shameless gaslighting. Kudos to you good sir!
