Game Thread GAME# 76: BLAZERS @ PISTONS - MARCH 30, 2019 - SATURDAY, 4:00 PM, NBCSNW

Well HJ is a legit 6'5 / 6'6 and I think he's in his early 40's I definitely would not be shocked in the slightest if he did alright in rec league type games with NBA players in them when he was younger. Kind of a funny story when I was 12 I was on a soccer team that was really good, we had a couple of guys including me who had chances to play in various colleges (including me), I actually probably made a mistake choosing basketball. Our coach thought well we have a good team lets set them up for a tournament so he scheduled us to play a bunch of highly ranked varsity high school teams, we got wrecked so hard, one game I remember was 12-0. Anyways that's a long way to say I think going up levels in play and competition is a fun challenge, but can be a humbling process as well. I don't honestly believe anyone on this board right now could hold their own on an NBA court especially in terms of both ends of the court, having to keep up for 20-30 minutes of a game all that goes into it. We would get pulled about an possession or two into the game when the coach finally realized what he had done. That though was not the question, we were discussing to me it was could bones go 2-17. The Answer is an NBA defense would probably give him the Aminu treatment he would get mostly open looks with a guy running at him he could at least get most of them up without being blocked, and could 2 of those go in? I mean honestly, that would not be an incredible feat because 2-17 sucks at any level of basketball.

 

I wouldn't struggle getting shots off as much as yall say. I have an average release timing for an NBA SG, and I'm 6'5. If I would go 0 for 17 is debatable. I think I could hit 2.[/QUOTE]

6 "I's" in just over one line of post? Are you really having this debate with Jinxspeed? Perhaps that is playing down to someone else's level.

 

I'm having fun here. That is why i used green font on my response to HJ.
I'm also very certain they could or could have done everything they proclaim. So please don't get my responses as attacks @BonesJones or @hoopsjock. Just messing with you both.
My history with professional/college athletics is well documented so i totally understand where they are at. I was three sport and chose Baseball but had every chance to go football or basketball. Baseball was the "SureBet" that ended up a major injury.
Now i do sprint triathlons and i do the middle age type groups. We time out at 1:10-1:20. Pretty much just trying to stay in shape and keep what i got.

 

Once again Bones never claimed he could actually make an NBA roster, even he would admit there is no chance of that happening.

 

Absolutely nothing he said ever made that assumption. All he said was he could shoot 2-17 from three in a game thread. The main point on that is it was said in a "Game Thread". If only people could hear what i say to my TV during a game. It would not be pretty!

 

Bones said he could get a shot off against NBA he didn't say it would go in or not.

 

What the hell does this EVEN mean bro? HA!!!!!!

 

That wasnt the topic. The topic was could I shoot without getting blocked, and if I could hit 2 out of 17. Not whether I'd match up strength wise, or whatever.

 

It's not well documented. I have no idea what you're talking about.

Come play at our meetups then.

 

Dumb post. Obviously I'd be affected by tired legs, but not affected enough to go 1 for 17 or worse. You're not interested in having a discussion though, you're just trolling.

Literally involving all this extra shit... literally, all I said was if I got the same shots the team was getting I couldve made 2 for 17 as well, and that's the truth.

 

Bro 32,000 + messages does not mean you are in the know. If you had been around anytime before 3 years ago you might actually have read something that would tell you. Of course before three years ago you were still in High School. Yes my past is well documented. I do not feel the need to explain it to you or anyone else.
Come play you say? Would you consider coming and playing at one of mine? Would you like to do the 70.3 or the 51.5 for starters?

 

I've been around for 4 years. Fine, 3 years, almost 11 months. If it hasn't been documented in that time frame, then it probably isn't well documented. Many of the posters that post here haven't been around as long as I have. Maybe this a poor way of saying - why not just explain what you're talking about instead of being vague? Because I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't think many in here do.

Play in one of yours? Your what, rec league? 70.3? 51.5?

 

This is your post-

Now if you want to call my post dumb then so be it.

 

You could ask why I think that. Question it, because I'd be more than happy to explain it. I never said I wouldn't be affected at all, I was just comparing myself to the average shooting form, as that's a big factor.

I release the ball while my feet are just leaving the ground. That's when you're upward momentum is at it's fastest. Doesn't take jumping much at all to get of a shot at distance by shooting like that (just look at Curry). That's compared to most players that shoot right before the peak of their jump, and have to produce a lot more initial upward momentum to retain enough momentum near the peak of their jump to be able to power their shot.

I could show you better in person. It's a form and rhythm-based thing.

 

Look. I have been posting on Blazer sites for almost 20 years. It's why me and a bunch of other posters on this forum and a few others take pause when we come across certain styles of posting. My days of this kind of thing are well over.
Hope you have a nice evening and have fun with your one on one with Kingspeed. That should be fun for you.

 

I understand. I have seen it many times.

 

Okay, you may have documented it well 15 years ago, or whatever. But for most of the people who are reading your post, it's not well documented. Just wanted a better understanding of what you were talking about, but oh well.

 

I definitely get giggles out of BonesJones thinking that some no-name, community college somehow qualifies as "high level" in this context.

 

After watching my ugly ass shooting form they would want me to shoot the ball every time knowing I was going to miss.

 

Its doesnt qualify as "high level" in "this" context. (Assuming you mean the NBA). Obviously it doesnt.

It qualifies as high level in regards to the forum. People who havent even played in HS are trying to tell me, someone who's played in college and against D1 and fringe NBA players that I dont understand what it's like to play against NBA level players, as if they do, when I've played against much more talented players than they have, and seen just how good no-nsme D1 players are. (Its kinda like you claiming theres no such thing as being in a zone).

But you can try to twist that into me thinking community college basketball is equal to NBA basketball or whatever dumb narrative you want to paint. Be my guest. People twist my words all the time to try to apply their own narratives to my thoughts. Its comical.

And you giggle? Cute.
