Around the NBA - April 2018

[THE HCP]

It's a travel. The "way the game is played" has no relevance. If they want it to be allowed they should change the rules.

The way the game is played is very relevant. They don't call it, so the players do it. Your precious Blazers do the exact same thing as the hated Rockets and Thunder do. It's the way the game is played.

It's a travel!

CJ and Dame do the EXACT crossover, stepback.

Produce video evidence, video-guy.

 

[DDolla]

CJ and Dame do the EXACT crossover, stepback. Its the way the game is played. Stay woke kid.

Waiting for a video of Dame and CJ with 3-4 steps backward

You'd think someone who watches as much video as you would know better...

 

[dviss1]

Wake up NBA and NBA Refs

Yup. All day long...

It's a travel!

Never said it wasn’t. Said it’s the way the game is played and called.

CJ? Yes.

You're completely wrong about Dame. He has like 5-7 DIFFERENT stepback Jumpers. All Of which are completely fundamental, cone drill moves.

Note absence of Blazers and presence of Jordan Bell...

 

[Strenuus]

Note absence of Blazers and presence of Jordan Bell...

Not surpised no Collins. No shock there, really

 

[BonesJones]

Note absence of Blazers and presence of Jordan Bell...

Yeah, cuz Maxi Kleber is better than Lauri Markkanen...

Note the flaw in "TPA"...

 

[BonesJones]

CJ? Yes.

You're completely wrong about Dame. He has like 5-7 DIFFERENT stepback Jumpers. All Of which are completely fundamental, cone drill moves.

Dame has the sideways step back the normal, weak hand drive to stepback, the weak hand drive pop n stop step back, the sidestep fade to his strong hand (Think Lakers game winner), the between the legs crossover into a step back... I know I'm missing some.

The hesitation jab step back (the one he got Patty Mills with), the in and out hesitation step back, and the in and out between the legs reverse crossover.

The Chief's haters have a new reason to like swanigan ! (0:57)

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I like how Ingles describes it as the "charge circle". I wonder if the Blazers did that if they would start taking more charges?
Andy Larsen: Joe Ingles on what makes Paul George a good defender: “He’s 6-8, athletic. He can be in the charge circle and defending a 3-point shot in a split second.”

[BonesJones]

Holy hell.. "TPA" must be such a flawed metric.

 

[Rhal]

Holy hell.. "TPA" must be such a flawed metric.

Anything stats oriented is going to have an orgasm when a player like WB who cares about his stats more then anything else is put into it.

The Celtics draft well with Brown and Tatum. They also trade well getting Hayward and Kyrie

They didn't trade for Hayward.

[DDolla]

Nate out coaching Stotts lol

 

[SportsAndWhine]

It’s cool watching a team with heart (Minnesota)

 

[DDolla]

Even an 8th seed plays better than the Blazers... just sad

 

[PHXBlazer1]

What's up with the Jazz' new color scheme? I thought it was a joke

 

[BonesJones]

Granted, they would've been ahead of us if Butler didn't get injured.

 

[PHXBlazer1]

Holy fucking Ricky Rubio! I thought he couldn't shoot..people forget he's still only 27 even though hes been around forever

 

[PHXBlazer1]

So this is why the Jazz tanked the last game of the season

 

[Chris Craig]

Rockets lose haha
