Game Thread GAME# 4: BLAZERS @ MAGIC - OCTOBER 25, 2018 - THURSDAY, 4:00 PM (PDT), NBCSNW

[BonesJones]

Ive worked out almost all summer, and tried to play a few times but I dont trust my knees at all, so I dont know what itd prove. Other than you could move faster than a guy who still has swelling every night in both knees, its been 5 almost 6 years since ive played basketball competitively.
edit: The swelling actually got better for a few weeks before I went and tried to play.
Anyways, on video which I know doesnt tell the whole story he looked a heck of a lot quicker than everyone else out there.

You know nothing about how I truly play man. I hate shooting outdoors. I have all types of shots. We need to find an indoor gym and run.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about dviss not you.

I'll tell you what though, one thing that I think Bones would agree with me on is that @dviss1 is unquestionably the biggest talker on the court, ha ha.

Well I really didnt say much about your game was just pointing out that on the video clips I saw dviss looked a lot quicker than every body else out there. I get it indoors is better than outdoors and full court 5v5 is different than half court 3 on 3.

Over here.....over here!

Oh, ok. I know the name now. The Mrs does talk about you sometimes.

 

[dviss1]

Nah. My game isn't as translateable to outdoor halfcourt. You haven't seen me play to my true ability yet.

I've locked up D1 players before. I could guard you. You were missing rim in FTs...

I wish y'all would play in my league lmao.

I'm out of shape like a MF. I don't remember the last time I've been so winded. I'm normally past 80%.

 

[dviss1]

No offense to @dviss1, but he's not as quick as D1 guards. He's fast as shit once he gets going (or so he tells me), but top speed and acceleration are different.

We can test this out so I can prove myself to you...

1) I'm 42 years old. In my prime, I was always the quickest on the court.

2) I'm like D1aa quick now. I'm Portland state quick. As a 42 year old.

3) I'll easily be the quickest in the media bracket.

You're wrong about this bones.

 

[Blazer4ever]

Dude, just stop. It was goaltending. You are wrong. Period.

No I'm not wrong. The refs called an offensive foul. After that, the Magic went on a run. Why? because it's bad karma. Balls don't lie

 

[BonesJones]

You're wrong about this bones.

Yet you can't get by me FAMS so proof is in the puddin'

No they didn't my goodness dude. You can't admit to being wrong? Karma?! Lmao.

 

[blue9]

Aminu can defend. No question. He doesn’t patrol the paint though.

He can. But he can also get completely lost and blown by by guys who are not fast. People remember his few great defensive plays but for some reason forget about all his blown defense. Aminu is the definition of average. He's neither bad nor good.

But you can't beat me off the dribble!

Look at the last play and the bottom of the screen. He's making the sign to count the basket (calling goaltending).

That is a decent point I dont remember him dribbling, and some guys are much quicker without the ball then with it.

I remember the 1st time I played a legit d1 guard, very first time down the court I wasnt exactly in good defensive posture and he smoked me so hard lol. Rest of the game I held my own ok, but he put me on notice pretty quick I better be ready lol. Ah fun times, I miss playing ball.

For the record bones I realize I dont know your game, I wasnt trying to judge how good you are or arent was just pointing out I thought on video dviss looked quick.

Dviss is the slowest person on this forum. Chew on that.
