Ditto. I remember being 13ish and embarking on a 10 day bike trip thinking that I'd be able to dunk by the end of the trip. Nope! But I made up for it with an unblockable hook shot. That hook shot and my ability to block shots frustrated my friends so much!
I was the short quick one who could get by anyone, but had no touch at the rim. So, lots of missed easy layups. Pretty fun. Hehe
Early on I learned the Isiah Thomas, standing on the opponents toe trick..keeps em from blowing by you everytime
It makes a lot of sense to encourage excellent defense, whether Cousins wants to recognize it or not. Meyers does have a number of fans outside his family and immediate friends. Swish3 should be considered one of them.
So the numeral in your username now refers to the personage by which you prefer to refer to yourself?
Wait... so when you say he should make Swish3s... are we talking about him shooting YOU into the basket? Or making baby swish3s? I am really confused.
There is a highly informative discussion of why the Blazers should start Meyers, implying that he should have 30+ minutes and take 10+ swish3 shots per game on the Potential Upside Podcast EP 2 with Dan Marang at http://ripcityradio.iheart.com/onair/rip-city-mornings-56071/potential-upside-podcast-ep02-14297565/
Watching tonight, I noticed something that I'd not really seen before: Meyers directing the offense. Specifically, when Dame wasn't on the floor with him, it seemed that Meyers was really controlling things out there. Is this something that he's been doing regularly and I've just missed it?
Meyers is starting to USE what he's learned and not overthink everything and stutter step through plays..his whole demeanor has changed noticeably the last few games which is great for us.
He's still afraid to shoot unless he's wide open, which pisses me off. But more often than not, when he passed up a shot he probably should have taken, it resulted in an even better shot for a teammate (the end of the third quarter notwithstanding).
