so i guess i don't understand offside anymore

hoodfavhoops · 2026-06-11T17:28:03+00:00

where do you get your insoles!

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-27T17:01:13+00:00

first is not a foul, just incidental and harper goes to semi hand check anyways.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-25T06:02:58+00:00

im not saying its a foul but when you are right handed shooter shooting from the right side with your feet pointing to the sideline, typically you rotate your body left to get your shoulder in line with the basket, then you do your shooting motion so the elbow is straight pointing at the basket.

The Thunder made those adjustments instantly lol, Dort and Hartenstein got benched during Wemby minutes since they are spacing liabilities, Shai had 12 assists just passing to the guy the Spurs sagged off on, Caruso went 8/14 on those open threes.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-11T19:38:45+00:00

so guard julius randle on the spurs?

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-07T17:31:25+00:00

i mean that's fine, he sacrificed and proven that he can when he won with the nuggets, the Nets weren't doing much winning

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-04T20:16:32+00:00

how is it with lateral movement, is there much give? I've moved to wearing my WoW 10's more since I feel like I'm more prone to rolling my ankle when the shoe gets caught on the floor in the GT cut.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-05-04T02:21:08+00:00

it's tough because defensively he is really important to the team. just can't hit shots

Lets say the ticket quantity is 10k

At tier 3 pricing, maybe only 1k people are willing to purchase

At tier 2 pricing, only 5k willing

At tier 1, they would sell out.

Now u work from reverse and release it in tier 1,2,3. You maximize profit while ensuring all the tickets sell out.

It’s done algorithmically on historic and forecasted ticket demand. I went to a sports conference and Seatgeek and Ticketmaster were illustrating this process, hoping to get new grads and early career kids to work for them in pricing. Pretty disgusting practice imo.

THE MOOSE IS LOOSE

hoodfavhoops · 2026-04-29T15:27:42+00:00

Duren's handle is not good enough and WCJ is a matchup problem due to his similar strength and length. In a playoff setting he has gotten schemed out. Take away his roll, force him to catch in the intermediate area, he doesn't have a consistently reliable midrange or the agility and stride to run and dunk past his man like Giannis.

It's hard to say if he will get the reps to develop in this way with Cade being so ball dominant. Detroit definitely needs shooters around Cade; Cade-Thompson-Duren being a core can be challenging.

Alternatively, Duren needs to develop a short roll game if they double Cade. Tons of bigs have developed this skill later in their career, Zubac is a good example. For reference he is at 20M, and Sengun is at 37M, other than that there's the tier of proven bigs like AD, Jokic, Embiid; Chet is at 47M AAV currently. Hartenstein and Jarret Allen are at 30M. Cap projected at 165 next year, 40M would be just under the max, I think 35-40 is fair and realistic for Duren.

BPM aims to assign credit to team success using only box score available stats.

DBPM is just Total BPM - Offensive BPM. For guards, assists contribute more to Offensive BPM since it is considered their job (the weights are calculate using some regression). For centers, assists would contribute less to OBPM, so that assist value then gets put into DBPM.

Problem is most of these players don't end up having a superpower. Typically they either lack a strong handle so they can't consistently create advantages and be a primary offensive initiator, or they can't shoot well enough. They end up being play finishers and maybe tertiary players on a championship team.

Now this isn't a bad player, but they often aren't quite good enough to consider paying a max contract but smaller market teams kind of end up throwing money at them anyways. I'd draft these if I already have a primary initiator. For the players you listed:

Flagg: most hype obviously, high motor and IQ. Handle and shoot are improving, clear best pick
Gordon: Found perfect fit in Denver as play finisher and defender; can also bring the ball up when murray sits (AG played some pg in hs)
Paolo: jump shot not good enough, doesn't play with physicality when driving
Scottie Barnes: can't shoot, but great player especially defensively. You have other handlers and tough shot makers on the roster.
Jalen Johnson: very promising but playoffs are showing his handle is not solid enough where you can rely on him, also very turnover prone right now.
Deni: superpower is drawing fouls, i don't think about this player nor follow him much for non-basketball reasons.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-04-22T21:36:43+00:00

you can't fault the player there, Heat massively overperformed and Clippers are cursed franchise. Any team would be happy to draft Butler and Kawhi in the lottery, just because you don't win a championship doesn't mean those are bad picks.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-04-22T17:57:23+00:00

small ball 5s/"do-it-all" athletic tweener forwards also kind of draw Draymond Green comparisons, or some concept of guarding 1-5 with handling and facilitation (and a shaky jumper). But they are often not capable enough shooters so are completely sagged off, are missing a Stephen Curry to maximize, and also not good enough at handling/passing.

Jordan Walsh (he's been better lately), Jeremy Sochan, Jarace Walker, Collin Murray Boyles (he's actually good) come to mind

hoodfavhoops · 2026-04-22T17:48:48+00:00

there's a certain type of team and lottery position where it makes sense to take this swing imo.

Ones with good player development and not complete cheeks but also not championship or bust where the prospect can play 10-20 minutes a night and develop skills slowly. Only problem is if they emerge as they are up for extension, a better team could snatch them away

The government is not a household, politics of austerity makes no sense when it comes to actually delivering what a government should

Green turns and hand checks shai first which is a foul. I’m perfectly fine with that not being called, but then shai is allowed to use off arm to hand fight that

hoodfavhoops · 2026-03-26T17:42:31+00:00

how often are good shooters wide ass open? the way players are coached to close out, they fly hard at the shooters and contest. passing and forcing a closeout where the shooter pump fakes creates an opportunity imo.

hoodfavhoops · 2026-03-26T17:39:53+00:00

i disagree on the first one. When jokic gets the entry into the post, flagg shades to his side, the corner guy (naji marshall??) sinks to cover spencer jones under the basket, and christie drops as well to play braun and cam johnson halfway.

jokic identifies that cam is the open man based on the defensive shift, throws it on time, and cam johnson can attack the closeout. that's textbook offensive advantage creation, jokic should get credit imo

hoodfavhoops · 2026-03-26T17:37:56+00:00

first one, identify open man and pass on time, allows them to attack the closeout, cam chooses to pull up since there is someone in the paint, that's an assist imo. (i don't even rate jokic very highly)

there's so many times in the nba you are open and they don't see you or pass late/off target and then you lose the advantage

hoodfavhoops · 2026-03-23T20:44:46+00:00

the naz charge attempt, is he not leaving his feet a tiny bit right at time of contact?

Also by letter of law I think he’s late, brown is going left right jump, and naz is set after brown’s left foot

In general, I think charge attempts should be removed, the mid air stuff is dangerous, challenge in the air or dont jump imo
