By Kibner Go To PostIf he drives to the bucket, they have to rotate someone over to stop him (because lol at anyone on the Hawks being able to stop him from driving). This will almost always result in an open 3 for any of their shooters or an easy offensive rebound for Thompson as the help comes over.
Except don't. That's the point. Go under on screens, or let the big shuffle his feet and try his best to stay in front of him. He'll get some easy layups, he'll get some and 1's, he'll get some charges, he'll throw some bad passes, he'll miss some layups.
Never ever rotate anyone over. Face guard the 3 shooters, go under on screens, sag back on isolations, and try your best not to swipe at the ball when he drives. The Spurs do this kind of stuff all the time. Just takes discipline.

The Hawks have no such luxury.

Sure. But I'm not advocating this as a means to stop or slow down Lebron. But as a means to prevent a 3 point barrage. I fully recognize that he can get 35-40 a night doing this, I just think it's preferrable to the alternative.

I fully recognize that he can get 35-40 a night doing this, I just think it's preferrable to the alternative.I think when playing against LeBron like that with the personnel the Hawks have, James scoring at the rim would have an expected ppp very similar to what rotating one person off to help contest (but leaving a shooter open) would result in. I am not sure it would really be an improvement in slowing the Cavs offense down for that particular team.
This is dumb, but whatever: an ESPN NBA Facebook-style quiz
Result: You are a Miami Heat!
You thrive in a buttoned-up environment where structure reigns, loyalty is rewarded, and people are serious about the work.
By P S Y C H Go To PostWelcome kibnerIf I didn't hate the Heat, I would have been happy with that result.
listening to this Toronto Rap beat writer talk about Lowry and the dude just sounds destroyed, like he was a 2014 Pacer or some shit
By Kibner Go To PostThis is dumb, but whatever: an ESPN NBA Facebook-style quiz
guess I gotta be a Heat fan now
I... I... I don't even dare mention what I got. The answers I gave made ZERO sense to what they picked for me. Completely opposite of what I think of what that franchise embodies.
It doesn't help that there's only four potential matches, which I think is a cop out.

By P S Y C H Go To PostYou hate the heat?Watching Wade bullshit go against you can sour a man's perception of Wade's team.

I'm guessing Reilo got the Moreys.
Result: You are a San Antonio Spur!
You value a drama-free workplace where you check your ego at the door, perform the work diligently, then privately enjoy a reputation as a thought leader.

i was so sure i would get the spurs, clicked all the 'rather be alone, quiet and do my taxes'-answers and got the Rox. lmao.
By P S Y C H Go To PostKnicks or rocketsKnicks wasn't a choice. It was just Spurs, Lakers, Rockets, and Heat.

I honestly can't be bothered with tonight's game. Let's just go back to Miami 1-1 and end this trainwreck
By Dipro Go To Postwyh? tons of great stuff out there.Essentially every song I hear being praised as great new music sounds like garbage to me.

By Dipro Go To Postsounds like you got old, happens to everybody.I'm 33. Honestly, it feels like every decade's music has been worse than the last one since the 70s.
