By Random Ass Username Go To Posthow does anyone in the nba airball especially fts?it happens. airballs happen almost every game. Even the greats airballed a free throw or two
Help me I dun get it.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI mean I get being off towards the left or right but in front? Bruhhhhhhh.
I mean, I'd rather the directional aim be true, but that's just me.
By Random Ass Username Go To PostI mean I get being off towards the left or right but in front? Bruhhhhhhh.tired? blurry vision? i mean, it's not exactly hard to see how one might fuck up. Here's Melo doing a Winslow.

By blackace Go To PostBron does full weight workouts before games… really shocked he doesn't airball more tbhI even get being tired but some airballs aren't even about that.

How does this shit work
How does he not come out and hit backboard on those first shots
By alt sy Go To PostRNG: I just don't get how anyone could fuck up at their jobNah I even understand that. It's being at the free throw line, doing this like hundreds (thousands?) of times and having the work out strength and just airballing a FT that has me confused.
Still enough time to see one of the two teams score 100+ in three quarters. I hope this game is shown as an example for future generations about how not to play defense.

By diehard Go To Postyo this defense out here..where?
I haven't seen any tonight yet.
By pilonv1 Go To PostMiles Simon could be as good as JJ Redick in today's NBAhe wasn't even as good as JJ Redick in college tho
Maybe not that good but he'd be very useful. Just think his skillset would be in demand, the limitations that he had aren't as important today.
Doncic is really unathletic but I think he's skilled enough to get past that.
Does make the Hayward comparison not good though as Hayward isn't really close to Doncic's passing or ball handling ability but Hayward is really athletic and strong.

By knux-future Go To PostFultz fucking sucks
Believe in Fultz
Honestly I’d sit Fultz out on game 1
Boston crowd will be brutal on him
Nervous by all the predictions that the Jazz are going to finish 3rd or better (?!) in the West. I like a predictable and comfortable 4th. All this "ready for the next step" talk is trying its hardest to fill me with false confidence.
My friend didn't want to make the $1000 bet on the Jazz going over .500 this year. He's still bitter about last season. I offered him $1000 on the Jazz being 3rd seed, but he won't bite.

Doncic will be good, definitely gonna need a few offseasons to work on his body to reach his potential
By Smokey Go To PostRight?Naw he was deceptively quick even by European standards
European fast apparently.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Friday that the league office is monitoring how the Dallas Mavericks are responding to allegations of improper workplace conduct that were not included in the investigative report released two weeks ago.
Yeah, there's no way Cuban is unaware of these things.
Doncic is extremely unathletic but I think his passing and shooting and decision making are a lot better than Evan Turner (who is otherwise a little similar too).

i already thought doncic looked slow as hell in the euroleague highlights* i saw but that's alarming.
*it was killing me how they were trying to gas his basic ass handles.

Evokes memories of Doug Gottlieb calling Duke "alarmingly unathletic" early in the 2009-2010 season (he wasn't wrong, by the way).
Duke won the national title that year over diehard's boy.

He was able to get by Covington though which is good. Think he'll be able to body up thinner guys, but the guys like Simmons who are faster and stronger than him are in a different class and will lead to some ugly performances from him.
He need to work on his body in the summer, he looks doughy in general.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To Postwhoa wtf, i had no idea knux's boy was good on defense like that.

I don't know, I wouldn't be too worried. There aren't very many defenders in the league that offer Simmons' combination of size, length and strength. This is probably Doncic's first time playing against defenders of that caliber and he hasn't figured out what works yet.
If speed is truly his issue, then it won't take a great defender to screw him over. A bad first step makes scoring hard. Having all your steps be slow is a ticket to China.
But I think he's not as slow as he looks there. I hope not. That would be a bummer. He seems like he'd be a fun player if he can find a good way to use his skill set.

Straight line speed is overrated, but lateral speed is pretty important.
He can't be slower than Slow Joe though.

wouldn't say Doncic looks slow there--he actually looks pretty quick, issue is Simmons is on some 2k19 lockdown shit right there
He's got enough to do that herkey-jerky stuff to throw defenders off and create space when he's already on the move. He probably won't be the guy you iso with at the end of games. It looks like he needs help to create an opening against the better defenders. Once he has that opening, he'll be deadly.
