also heat are balling this year, they are legit terrifying because they seemed to have figured out they have two of the best athletes in the world finally
spurs just mad professional as always, i forget every year how freaking good manu is, clips just folded in the third because they don't have a coach yet

i was watching that quarter and remembered, oh yeah this team wins 60 games every year like clockwork and didn't really make any changes, of course they're going to be good
My offer to take any ilh reg to a blazer game anytime they're passing through town is permanent.

teams w/personel continuity are gonna have a big advantage at the beginning of the season here is one thing were def seeing

could easily see this being the year where the spurs fall off
good post from haberstroh on why wade & bron's no threes strategy is helping much at all

altho i think he's right i really do think that wade should be utterly banned from attempting threes for the rest of his career
yeah theres just fundamentally a problem w/being a perimeter player in the nba and not being able to shoot the three effectively, obvs wade n bron are better equipped to compensate for that shortcoming than any other players in the league, but the fact that they both have this weakness only compounds the problem #tradebron
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:40 (twelve years ago) link
thankfully it does seem that lebron is gradually moving further and further away from being a perimeter player
his mid range game is so good now that i understand why he still takes a lot of mid range shots but he's also been devastating in the post this year
― How many days after a period? Started by Tuomas in December 2011 (v-shasty), Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:44 (twelve years ago) link
just thinking in the past few mins that i think there's a slight chance that lebron worked out insanely hard this off season and is just gonna lap everyone in the nba statistically

feel like right now his only competition for mvp is carmelo and maybe durant

i dont think you can say hes really moving away form the perimeter until they play him at pf regularly which they totally should and he stops dribbling the ball around the perimeter so much which im not sure he should
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:47 (twelve years ago) link
i mean lots of perimeter players fuck w/the post regularly
yeah, i guess he's just blurring the lines a bit more
not to overload here but he's such a good ballhandler that he really should be handling the ball a lot, but i also would love to see him become a power forward
oh well

d-wade's jumper is okay I don't understand why he doesn't have a 3 point stroke
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:48 (twelve years ago) link
yeah but for lebron the post offense is in addition to his rebounding and shot blocking, which is obv unique for a generally perimeter oriented player
maybe wade just isn't that good of a stand still shooter? like so many of his jumpers involve him rolling off screens or fading away or banking off glass. idk if that's true tho.

would be crazy if he made a leap, seems kinda unlikely as hes plateaued for the last x years, which is not to say that theres not likelihood of more subtle improvement
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:49 (twelve years ago) link
i don't necessarily think that lebron is going to make a leap (altho he has been playing insanely well) i just think that him being arguably the best athlete in the entire well is going to propel him to dwarf everyone else this season
― How many days after a period? Started by Tuomas in December 2011 (v-shasty), Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:51 (twelve years ago) link

entire world**
there have been... i don't want to call them rumblings cuz they're not "rumors", but people (i.e. windhorst) have been casually saying that bron worked out like crazy this summer (and if you follow any nba players on twitter or w/e, you'd know this -- dude brought KD to ohio to work out w/ him, he was out at nike for a whole week working out etc)

yeah 'height' is a pretty inexact measurement
― nice catch cuauhtemoc blanco niño (dayo), Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
need to get some tailor tape measure around those rock hard pecs of lebron... just measure that arm circumference... oh yeah...

idk all the 'omg he worked out so hard this summer' 'packed on 15 pounds of muscle' articles are such boilerplate beat sweeteners i just ignore them
― Cooper Chucklebutt, Thursday, 29 December 2011 18:55 (twelve years ago) link
normally i'd agree w/ you (people have been saying the same thing about bosh, too) but i think it's more pertinent now bcuz of the compressed schedule, and lebron was already so far ahead of basically everyone anyway (in terms of athleticism/conditioning etc)

He has his own issues but never having a coach worth a shart isn't his fault.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 29 December 2011 22:07 (twelve years ago) link
he maxed out in the 09/10 season, woodson's last as coach. he was a borderline allstar but still lacks any focus whatsoever which leads to erratic play. only thing a good coach would do is bench him quicker imo.
