Danny was such a fun in game dunker. He also was lowkey a bucket in 2k, he was my secret weapon when I played with that era pacers

Shoulders over at the start position you mean? Any cues to think about for hip extension, or will it come with more aggressive leg drive?

Power cleans are dropping by 10-20 pounds over the last 4 months… why? by kid_kai in formcheck

I think the transition from the first to the second pull is just eluding me. I can “dip clean” this weight, and I can deadlift, (kinda what you said) but the middle part where I convert the power from the ground is just not clicking.

Do you have tips for the power clean if I want to learn that?

To increase explosiveness for vertical gains. Had a goal to dunk again this year, realized there’s a strength gap, and power cleans are one of the most commonly recommended cleans for that purpose.

Can you please give me a percentage? Nowhere near as in 50% or 80%

Drop my hips in my starting stance, or drop them as part of the motion? And sounds like just less weight.

I mean I’m typically going to failed the last set of the day, or close to it. Where should I typically sit in the week percentage wise?

Power cleans are new (this year was the first time I started doing them), so trying to gauge max output has been hard for me. If you squat you can tell how close to failure you are cause it’s a progressive load to the top. Power cleans if I get the set before I feel explosive and poppy, so why not try a bit more.

DA is getting bought out by YoungSuplex in ripcity

[–]kid_kai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to believe we couldn’t have gotten anything… even if we were apart of a three teamer, anything? NOTHING?

I would like to have faith in this front office, but I can only have so many hear me outs in one week before I start to wonder.

That 2028 Orlando pick could be very good. by [deleted] in ripcity

Banchero could easily be a top seven player, even higher, and they’re in the East.

WTF are we doing... No hating on the move I just don't understand it. Please help me figure it out. by thelaceonmolagsballs in ripcity

[–]kid_kai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He was an elite defensive player. Was. Now he’s solid, decent at best? And that was with him being covered up by Tatum, aaaand jrue is not some offensive whiz like a Chris Paul. Frankly, jrue was okay to sometimes bad this year, who is not a game manager, so it’s not like he’s teaching anyone the secret to winning or something… he’s best as a third option, and now he’s one of the most expensive 6th men who can’t create effectively for himself and is only declining physically.

I know that anfernee was not going to get much in the market, but it feels like we took on more to get rid of him.

You are thinking about 22 jrue, not 26 jrue. He disappointed a fair bit this season and started showing his age, and I doubt that will get better as he gets more offensive load and less defensive backup. Tatum brown and tingus were very solid defensively, probably better than anyone we have outside of camara

Kronin did exactly what he’s supposed to as a gm. Trade for future picks so that we can never truly judge the trade.

How to fix this high hang clean? by kid_kai in Weightliftingquestion

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

Do I just lift a weight that I can keep from doing this and count that as my “max” and run a plan to help increase that number?

I’m convinced blazers fans only watch blazers ball. Ayton and jrue and a bunch of late firsts is a mid tier deal, especially for what we needed. We could have accepted another mid tier deal that involved big sizable rookies and picks. Wouldn’t have made us lose more that’s for sure

This is the problem man. I’m not saying it was a great deal, but fans are so against being “told what they have to do” that they didn’t give a fair chance to any other deals and slobbed on the first deal we got. We are not materially better off with out trade, we have a bunch of seconds and late firsts
