Not the way our guys were shooting

Shooting well doesn't require effort.

 

[KingSpeed]

Shooting well doesn't require effort.

Yes it does.

 

[Sinobas]

Yes it does.

no it doesn't

 

[KingSpeed]

no it doesn't

Are you guys serious? You don't understand the game of basketball. Just getting open requires effort. And scoring in the paint requires effort too.

 

[KingSpeed]

If shooting well doesn't require effort, why doesn't everyone do it?

What's the highest level you've played at?? I don't understand basketball? Lmao.

 

[KingSpeed]

Good D on Love

You might be confusing skill with effort.

NBA Entertainment League. I was the only one who would box out Snoop.

If anyone does't understand basketball... I understand basketball dude, I don't know how you could even think I don't.

 

[BonesJones]

Woah our score just jumped and Cleveland's didn't move! Lets go

You think that you could play better than Crabbe. You would be out of breath in two seconds. And you think shooting well doesn't require effort. You take what NBA Players can do for granted. They make it LOOK easy but it's not.

 

[BonesJones]

I'll give them this: We're obviously still competing and it looks like our offense has woken up.

Just makes me wish we could be an average defensive team that much more. If we were top 12 or so we'd be contenders.

 

[illmatic99]

Nice lil run. Keep it going!!

 

[B-Roy]

Aminu is the best defender in the league if he is the difference between us being middle of the pack and dead last.

 

[illmatic99]

Is that pride i see?

Our offense didn't wake up. Our offense has been great all game.

It takes the same amount of effort to throw up a miss as a make.

 

[KingSpeed]

It takes the same amount of effort to throw up a miss as a make.

I disagree. So there you go.

I think I could shoot as good of a percentage from 3. Part of that would be I wouldn't take as many bad 3s as he does. I'm also a good shooter. I wouldn't be out of breath. You don't know me bro.

Shooting requires skill, not effort. It's not hard to stand there, catch the ball, and shoot it. Defense requires more effort than offense. I'd know. I've played.

Sinobas is right, you're confusing skill with effort.

I was talking about over the past couple games.

 

[KingSpeed]

We're showing a lot of effort there. Let's go Blazers!

You could do that while defending an NBA player on the other end?

 

[BonesJones]

The wall is probably gonna be about 10 points. We'll get the deficit to 10 then they'll extend the lead again.

 

[KingSpeed]

I was talking about over the past couple games.

Okay

 

[BonesJones]

When did I ever say I could stop an NBA player from scoring?

 

[KingSpeed]

Cleveland's D is garbage

 

[KingSpeed]

When did I ever say I could stop an NBA player from scoring?

You said you could shoot better than Crabbe

 

[BonesJones]

You said you could shoot better than Crabbe

I said I could shoot as well as Crabbe. What does that have to do with defending? I would try. I'm not in bad enough shape that trying to play defense means I can't shoot anymore.
