I think it's just a short-term arrangement while Livingston is banged up. Or maybe they want another combo guard to provide energy off the bench the way Leandro Barbosa did the past couple of years. Barbosa, in his decline phase, has been a very up and down shooter but he's always been pedal-to-the-metal. From the highlights you linked of him, Weber seems the same way, on both ends.
I clicked through, out of curiosity, after KeepOnRollin mentioned that you've been hyping him and linked the thread. I would never lie. I learned really terrific ethics in my time studying law at Harvard when I was 12 and looking to broaden my horizons.
Right now, I'm just hoping we can give ourselves a chance at the 6th seed. With improvements at the trade deadline, I think we'd have a 50/50 chance at beating the Rockets in a 7 game series. And if that happens, then we'd face San Antonio, who's been great but I think we could compete with improvements. And by improvements, I mean the addition of two of Ibaka, B.Lopez, Noel, Matthews, W.Chandler, etc.
To get to that 6th seed its a long uphill battle. We can do it but I think we need something like 75% win rate from here on out. I'm not sure if we can beat the Rockets in a 7 game series but they are our best bet.
I don't. Celtics game on national TV is where I saw it. He very casually puts his hand under the ball, and then turns his hand over, while still in contact with the ball. Now that I think of it, he makes the same motion as a ref who signals carrying.
By rule a player may have their hand on the side of the ball (like a handshake) If the palm opens up more than a handshake it's a carry. However, if the player is not gaining an advantage doing it, I won't call it unless it's egregious. I'll simply say keep your hand on top.
Michael Jordan constantly did that...disguised it as a stutter step but he carried the ball and palmed the ball all the time.
I just saw a video of him in college, and he was definitely carrying lol. Or maybe it just looks like it cause his hands are so small? I wonder if he can palm the ball?
