Dekker is out tomorrow. Give KJ McDaniels the minutes I'd rather watch 1-2 nice chasedown blocks a game than Brewer

The Miami Heat, as in the organization, just hired an esport counterstrike team So that's 3 NBA teams now (coincidentally, all of them are out of the playoffs)

The money for owning a successful team is pretty great. Plus you can screw your players out of money like all the time which seems to be a common practice among dota owners

Luckily the Bulls brass had the foresight to see they would have a roster bursting with too much young talent for several years to come

Wow. He must have been a pretty cool guy to listen to the band putting out a string of Billboard #1 albums in the United States during the years he was in college. Not many people do that.

Redgrendel2001 posted:Stauskas just broke Oubre's ankles with the best crossover I've seen this year. This isn't the best crossover this year, but it's impressive looking because it's coming from a guy like Stauskas and not someone like Westbrook or Curry who do it all the time. It's play's like this that truly delineate the NBA game of today from the game of only a couple or 3 years ago. Most people would point to the rapid increase in the 3 point shot as the main difference between the league now and how it was played a few years ago, but I've found the real change is in the ball handling of the entire league. This may all be anecdotal, but it seems that in just the last couple years (since around the time the Warriors got real good, tho I don't know if it's strictly because of them) most highlights begin with some sweet ball handling move, and it's not just point guards doing it. Random "unskilled" bigs buried on the bench are throwing out ankle breakers left and right. Teams used to have a primary ball handler with their PG, and maybe the SG could pull off a couple moves as well, but now even the 7'2 center for every team can put the ball on the floor, they can eurostep, and pull side steps and step backs into open jumpers. The overall ball skills of nearly every player is so much better than it used to be - watch highlights of bigs like Hakeem in the 90's - he was considered one of the most skilled big men ever, and a great ball handler for a center. But watching him dribble, he literally seemed to punch the ball clumsily to the floor while having to look down at it to not lose control. That worked against lovely 90's defense, but modern NBA bigs look as comfortable with the ball as PG's did back then. They go between the legs in traffic, pull off stutter step and hesitation moves, use their dribble as a weapon. When a draft bust like Stauskas pulls off a move like this, you know it's a huge change in the league, and definitely for the better.

Drummond's progression as a ball handler has been shocking. Now he's not afraid to turn the corner with maybe 3 dribbles if he's one on one with another big. Playmaking from big positions becomes so important when defenses help aggressively. What happens when you double 2011 BIsmack Biyombo, maybe a stumble out of bounds, a turnover on a tipped pass, a travel. Now everyone can at least shoulder fake and make a pass Dejan Bimble fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Jan 15, 2017 |

Hand Row posted:I prefer looking at +/- by lineup rather than player. Although WTF is up with that Drummond stat. Does their starting lineup get its asskicked? When Drummond is on the floor the team (in relation to opponent) are shooting worse in all areas. 10% worse from the FT line and worse from 3P line as well. The B_36 posted:The overall ball skills of nearly every player is so much better than it used to be - watch highlights of bigs like Hakeem in the 90's - he was considered one of the most skilled big men ever, and a great ball handler for a center.

Back in the 1990s I always remember players jamming their fingers from mishandling the ball. I don't see that too much lately.

Lots of speculation right now, but most believe the Miami Heat organization put a stake in Misfits because they're aiming to acquire the Miami slot once the bidding goes live on major cities in NA that will have a spot to compete in the OWL. The Miami Misfts is a good Overwatch team name imo. https://overwatchleague.com/en-us/
