I got nothing against kinesiotape as long as it feels good to you and you're not claiming it magically heals your injuries. As opposed to the old magnetic brackets where 'it makes me feel better' isn't even an argument that applies.

What does kinesiotape actually do

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24856938
"Overall, Kinesio Taping was no better than sham taping/placebo and active comparison groups. In all comparisons where Kinesio Taping was better than an active or a sham control group, the effect sizes were small and probably not clinically significant or the trials were of low quality."

So what intruder said, yeah. Although some other studies seem to say ehh about as good as a placebo, which is a remarkably effective tool.

this is a good post.

weird that a future dynasty like the Celtics couldn't beat a tired team on a back to back. Shame that such valuable trade chips like Channing JAY Crowder and those other young players who occasionally play well weren't able to get it done. . Probably has to do with their genius future president coach taking a scheduled loss to provide a teachable moment #whosaysno

As a very young child, I called BJ Armstrong "Michael Jordan," I think because as a 2 year old from Iowa, I assumed that all black people were Michael Jordan.

The importance of this mission cannot be overemphasized
Lillard wears #0 because he says it's the number of players on the other team that can guard him.

Same reason Kyle Singler wears #15.

He's probably the 2nd or 3rd best front-court player in the East. If you go by most advanced stats the East All-Star starting frontcourt should be Love, Butler, Giannis.

Life, friends, is boring
From Zach Lowe's Q&A with Earl Watson:

quote:

John Wooden once scolded you for throwing behind-the-back passes in college, right?

Yes. I'll never forget it. We were in Las Vegas at the Victor Awards, and he sat with me on the stage after for about two hours. He talked about my behind-the-back passes. He goes, "Earl, I like the way you play, but for me, you wouldn't have played."

That is cold.

I said, "Why?" He said, "Because you throw behind-the-back passes. But you'd be good sitting right next to me on the bench." He had this way of coming at you. It was never direct, or mean. It was beautiful.

Did you listen to him?

No. I threw an off-the-backboard pass to Baron.
