By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostThe Aussies were playing more advanced sets and a lot of high low, while my nephews team would run in transition and shot a lot more threes.
That makes a lot of sense too. Youth coaching here is big on fundamentals and playing certain ways like high/low as you mentioned or some very basic zone breaking sets. Very little individualism or focus on running/scoring in transition.
The big difference was the guards, we just had better ball handlers even though they were smaller and since almost every NYC team thy play presses & traps they broke the presses easily since they see it all the time, and sometimes on small middle school courts where the other freethrow line is the backcourt violation.
That also goes again with the lack of individiualism. Most kids will be taught to pass first rather than overdribble or create just for themselves. So you end up with guys who aren't strong ball handlers but good passers. And kids who will end up as guards when they're older end up playing as bigs because there aren't enough of them.
You end up with well rounded players but without a true elite ability.
Passing a bunch that leads to bad shots in the name of "team ball" is a pet peeve of mine. Not all ISO is bad especially at higher levels.
That was the worst 3PT foul I've ever seen lol
Call overturned and it wasn't even close. Not even touched.

By reilo Go To PostAnfernee Simons: Very good
Brooklyn Nets: Not very good
Correct.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthe nets really should just ban spencer from the facility. they wouldn't even be in this situation
Correct.
Stupid team. Doesn’t help everyone is injured (Dayron looked BAD) but Vaughn is terrible, Dinwiddie is terrible. Marks has got 30m in trade exemptions and some pointless Suns picks to use early doors. Use it. Must be one of the only teams in the league without a bona fide first option (Bridges has his nights, like tonight).
We CONSISTENTLY let teams shoot over 50% from 3. I mean… what the fuck.
By DY_nasty Go To Posti never even considered dinwiddie a PG to begin with. wild ngl
Team desperately misses Simmons. For real. Only stretch this season we have looked decent was with him, even if his individual numbers are low.
Would start DSJ over Dinwiddie at this point, but Vaughn would say fuck no to that.
Legit think we should be looking at blowing it up. Trade everyone except Mikal and Cam T.
Kings struggling to handle a Dyson + Herb lineup just shutting off their offense and turning it into fast break points.
By pilonv1 Go To Postthis WASN'T called basket interferenceYou think people aren't on twitter posting stuff like this for NBA games and saying "why do people watch the NBA?"?

The NBA has some exciting parts in among the fukkery. College Hoops has none of that
By pilonv1 Go To PostThe shooting of this is gonna be awful
length and athleticism, is Kerr learning?
By reilo Go To PostThe shooting of this is gonna be awful

Kerr hasn't worked out that Steph can play with the ball yet
By pilonv1 Go To PostKerr hasn't worked out that Steph can play with the ball yetHe let Steph cook with the ball all 4th quarter a couple games ago and Steph went like 2-7 with more turnovers than assists.

It's better than whatever garbage they showed up with tonight. Just handing the ball over and letting the Raptors get whatever they want
By Kabro Go To PostLet's go clippers.
You shouldn't be allowed to get away with this
You're now an official Clippers fan. You're bunking with Adam.
Kind of wild that grizzlies spent like 3 first round picks over a 2 year period to find a serviceable wing and it was the damn 2 way player they picked at 47 one year that ended up not sucking.

It was a pretty cool difference in styles, like they played a zone but they didn't extend it far enough, so they weren't expecting our side to be able to hit deep threes from the gaps. One kid was hitting NBA distance threes and he's only like 5'3" so it was probably shocking.
But y'all represented well cause the two older teams won, it was just the u14 team that lost. I didn't get to see those games but the Aussie JV and Varsity won without a lot of trouble. The teams were from Canaberra.
Dame doesn't even begin to move his feet until the offensive player's hips are nearly even with his...
