the lost art of the midrange jumper
What that say about Joe Harris who's missed 44 games?
Or Claxton who's missed 27?
Or Durant who's missed 18?
We just ain't been healthy and we've got a shit coach who rather outscore our opponents instead of locking them up.
But yes, Kyrie would help substantially.
Street Clothes strikes again. Lakers might as well trade Lebron. Should have traded Lebron to the Sixers for wacked out Simmons. Lebron is going to break Kareem's record for a losing team next year. What a fucking waste.
Embiid won MVP tonite.
Hes going to win a Defensive player of the year before hes done.
At least he can stay on the floor at the end of games.

Blame these executives that only value layups and the three-point shot but want say the midrange is a bad shot. These executives will get rid of a player,if he make midrange shots but have a shitty three-point percentage. They seem to forget that basketball has three levels of scoring....
Y’all notice all them “fro-wig” jokes went away?

Cpiss3 should be charged with assault and be suspended for 10-20 games and first round playoffs

You sound like a honkey young fella.
Analytics completely fucked up sports in general. Threw fundamentals and common logic right out the window.Blame these executives that only value layups and the three-point shot but want say the midrange is a bad shot.

Good win in Milwaukee after dat bullshit against the Celtics.
Wanna see two dead bodies

That's why I call bullshit when these executives say 33% from three is the same as scoring 50% in the paint. That shit makes no sense at all.
What's funny,I understand the idea of the "stretch big" but most of these bigs shouldn't even be near the three-point line because most of them can't shoot.

"They don't teach these young guys that if you get closer to the basket, a lot more of your shots will go in

Yup.
Right. It doesn't make any fuckin sense at alll. The same way these young crakkka coaches go for it on 4th and 1 and be in the fuckin shot gun instead of taking the fuckin 3 points or at best lining up behind center. Shit makes no sense whatsoever.

Analytics is killing sports...imo
Claxton Is good defensively on the perimeter, so, so in the paint. None of the big men the Nets have can stop Gianniis, Embiid, Ayton, AD..etc...and out of all the Nets bigs LMA has the best field goal percentage and point average...but I guess I'll see once everyone gets on the court.
Nets have been lackluster defensively anyway.
I ain't gonna blame the math
Cause a lot of it is actually helpful and can be a teaching tool and genuine analysis of a game with a whole lot going on.
But really?
It's nerds who never played playing math club to feel important
Who only understand "numbers" and using those numbers to keep black folk out of control positions
Because its the only way they can get in and justify their undeserved positions
These same people think black bodies are just assets.
That to me is the issue.
And also those so called fans never actually watch GAMES
just twitter clips look at ridiculous statistics
that they make up now every year
That even so called experts covering the sport don't really understand
Listen to them struggle to even tell the audience what the acronyms stand off let alone how they got their numbers on the first place and how they apply to actual game play.
Again I ain't gonna blame the math.
But I don't need a calculator to tell me Jokic is good.
Trust me they didn't get robbed
The officiating was trash
Butler got fouled at the end of regulation and didn't get the call.
Lowry was forced out in OT and didn't get the call.
Lowry took a clear charge in the 2nd ot, they reviewed it and still got the call wrong and called foul.
It was bad
Ayton's not that good and AD can't stay healthy but the other two nobody in the league can stop.
We really have a weirdly balanced team considering we only have two guys on the entire roster between 6'5-6'8 playing (Harris out). Seven guys over 6'10 and the rest under 6'4.
So defensively we're either two small or too slow. Nash is prioritizing playing the small guys because of the offensive versatility but we're getting killed in the paint on the defensive end. Clax atleast gives us a big who can cover perimeter guys. We could legitimately play him next to Aldridge until Simmons/Durant comes back.
Ultimately I believe his closeness to Harden is why he's not playing right now. He even posted this last night after his third dnp in a row.
If we weren't going to play our most versatile big we should have traded that man
GOOD POINT ABOUT THE NERDS. I WANNA BEAT THE LIVIN SHIT OUT OF THEM.
