  1. I think athletic bigs like KD and Hakeem have a decided advantage against the edge cases such as Steph and Shaq. Against Steph on offense, they will just dominate the basket and if they miss, they will be playing volleyball by themselves. On defense, they can defend the basket and make him shoot from beyond 10 feet. Can Steph shoot >70% beyond the free throw line? Against Shaq, they have the range to shoot from middle range to pull Shaq away from the basket for an occasional drive. On the other hand, Shaq, starting his possession from beyond the 3-point line (I am assuming), can he consistently back his way to the basket without occasionally turning it over since he has no shooting range? KD/Hakeem have clear advantage against both types. MJ has athleticism, Lebron has strength and height, KD has reach and height and Hakeem has footwork and height. I chose MJ for sheer athleticism and KD for extending the range and defending the basket.
  2. Is this a pre-season "paid" game? Grizzlies are being treated like little kids.
  3. That was made by LSUFreek, I think. Wasn't it a GIF? He was very talented. https://sports.yahoo.com/news/ncaaf--lsufreek-terrance-donnels-merges-passions-to-deliver-wildly-popular-art.html
  4. If the offense hasn't substituted, can't they snap the ball regardless of the defense readiness? The defensive player is not lying on the ground playing dead.
  5. It is like saying Costco’s profits/stock price will be even higher if they raise their product prices. Then they won’t be Costco with parking lots full 100% of the time. Costco’s “altruism” is a sound business policy.
  6. I think the main difference was how Florida adjusted on defense. In the first half, they were sagging to defend the basket and were physically dominated giving up multiple second chance attempts besides leaving the lanes and 3point line free. In the second half, they switched to guarding the 3-point line and making UH’s bigs play away from the basket and play with their backs to the basket. Houston couldn’t do anything besides taking floaters or shooting 3s with hands in their faces.
  7. Houston lived up to its reputation. Go Florida!
  8. who wants a best of 3?
  9. UH is doubling the guards and daring their bigs to score. The guy who got the tech seems to be useless on offense.
  10. Florida should defend the rim and make UH's bigs catch the ball beyond 15 feet.
  11. I see, this is the TT guys' version of doing the "SECSECSEC".
  12. Exactly, you don't get to dominate the boards as UH does without physically pushing and going over, which were not called.
  13. They are calling it tighter now.
  14. Houston ran off about 15 seconds from the game clock before they inbounded the ball.
