Ausar gotta change his jump shot back

Offensive players want to attack the defender’s high foot, making them switch their hips - which takes time to do and gives the offensive player a step while the defender is opening their hips to then slide. Max is flipping his hips as Mitchel is trying to gain an advantage - this clip is less about sliding vs stepping, and more about the ability to flip your hips to negate an advantage . Most nba players might be able to flip their hips once but after that they’ll get beat by another change of direction - it’s impressive that Max was able to flip his hips at every change of direction.

Sliding is a bit outdated though; it’s unnatural, you’ll get to any stop faster by stepping sideways.

Good chance it’s just a sprained wrist… can hurt as bad and sideline you for just as long as a sprained ankle

“The violence!” I wish my commentator was that creative. Billy Mac when someone shoots a 3 from the left wing says “left side right hand” 🫤

Off-arm still doing some weird stuff like it does on his jump-hooks where he tries to simultaneously hold the defender off and miss 12 straight in pre-game because of it

Usually a PF dunking straight on someone by bodying them leads to like a throw in dunk, which is great but why in the world did Obi jump so high that he landed clean and dunked clean??? This is like a peak Amare dunk

I think if you ask Kings fans if The Kings played their best game of the season tonight, many would say yes(or near it). Laker fans will tell you most teams play their great game against us; Bron said it too “oh The Magic are gunna shoot lights out against us”.

Do the Lakers play with such little effort that they deserve to be down 15 points every 1st half? there’s no other team that plays with that little effort or that bad of defense and it happens to them too?

It’s odd…

Stu was saying he saw AD grabbing his leg… a lot of fans saw it too. he was banged up; but that’s his problem; for most of the season he’s either banged up playing, or injured and out.

prototype 14ft P&R jumper wide open for Sochan and he doesn’t recognize it for 3 seconds, then takes 3 seconds to set up his jumper footwork. that play says a lot

I’m upset that Tyler Herro is better than #2 pick D’Angelo Russell

Watching Scoot in the G league , he would often get cut off on his drives. There was a lot of talk in the nba draft sub that he’s more of a Bledsoe level athlete; and that was often a median outcome ascribed to him… Baron Davis ceiling, Bledsoe median-ish outcome… If the Hornets thought he would be in Ja Morant’s ballpark, they would have drafted him

How in the world do you watch a guy drop to his knees and slam the floor when another guy takes the shot, after having his hand up to be passed to… and think the guy isn’t disgruntled… how are you this in denial? Look at the other vid in your comment chain

Oh my goodness this is classic

Never seen that in my 27 years of being a basketball fan; not from an inbound that far. Thanks Jokic, take it easy on us.

Cmon , we know preseason performances really don’t mean anything for how players will play in the regular season. I’ve seen a lot of players who never became solid have great preseason games.

There’s preseason-good, then there’s regular season good, then playoff-good. I don’t trust any of your role players to have 4 good games in a playoff series.

Their roster reminds me a lot of the Heatles rosters. Eric Gordon at this stage of his career is not going to be much better than Chalmers… Old and constantly injured Nurk is a good passer and rebounder but might be bad overall in the playoffs . They have 3 players and possibly nobody else who will be consistently solid

Didn’t realize Sheed was in Portland since 96.

When generational isn’t an exaggeration at all >
