    It's obvious why a higher arc is better within reason. You effectively widen the opening of the hoop compared to a flatter shot.

    If you remember when Clyde started making a few more threes he added more arc. Still had the same ugly form.

    I'm not good with timeframes and dates and things like that but, is there there anything stopping us from locking up Nurk to a long term deal now before other teams can offer?

    I'm not the guy for that. I know my strengths and weaknesses.

    I think we could have until the end of October or so but not we have to wait (if we had cap space we could at any point but we don't) until July.

    Yeah if the mods applied that point of emphasis to S2 ejections, this place would cease to exist ;)

    I remember this too. However, I could shoot left handed as well as he shot with his right. I'm a rightie too.

    Free throws are the one thing us regular dudes can compare to a pro basketball player.

    Hmm the Knicks, without Porzingis, killed the heat by 30.

    If by "the whole crowd", you mean the 300 or so people who showed up. Then, yes.

    That's when CJ misses them. Shaq missed them all the time. He wasn't under any pressure.

    It wasn't in front of 20 thousand people but the last time I ever played in a league game at Lake Shore Athletic Club...(years ago) I literally swished 6-6 to ice the game. SAME EXACT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE ON ME (I joined my buddy's team for that one game, they hadn't won a single game that whole season)

    After the 5th one, a guy on the other team said "we fouled the wrong guy"

    I said yep and swished the next. True story, hit 11 threes, a layup and 6 free throws...41 pts.

    I was Sabonis only a foot shorter.

    That doesn't translate to the NBA.

    I had wicked basketball talent in a football lineman body.

    It is really too bad that all our players don't have whatever disorder I have. I don't get scared. I'm either completely calm or furiously angry. Very little of anything else. As I get older the furious part is way way less common.

    Hey, as I type this I see LaMarcus had 41. I took way less shots for mine. Winner
