We are only here for the bench celebration

 

damn

 

Fucking Ainge

 

Good

 

So a player they’ll over hype to themselves and ruin the confidence of within two years?

 

For all the shit certain Boston media personalities have given the Lakers for the AD trade no one talks about how badly they fucked their “generational talent” in one year ..

 

That cover up is pretty dicey.

But seriously, those are some of the worst dice I've ever seen. The one on the left has seven sides. Hmm.

 

This video still cracks me up

 

It never fails to amaze me how many celebrities who can afford to go to a really really good tattoo artist just have the worst tattoos

 

I'm always blown away by that, too. Also, pretty much every tattooed NBA player has a basketball somewhere on them. Maybe Lonzo should've gotten one of those, and not the world's worst d7. That cover-up is a critical miss.

 

Lonzo makes like 7 mil a year

I would blow all that on trying to awaken Vincent Van Gogh from the dead to tattoo me if I had that kind of money

 

Someone really needs to figure out where Collin Sexton found this 3 point shot. Like, did he misplace it inbetwen the couch cushions and he found it when he moved out of the dorm? What else is in there?

I need to know. Becuase a 41% three point shooter (on like 3.5 a game!) was not a development I ever expected to see from him.

 

His Per 36 is nuts.

 

Harden per-36:
35 points, 6.3 rebounds, 7.3 assists.

Closes the gap quite a bit. I’ll take 5 less points per game if the trade off is also being a top 3 defensive player in the league.

 

I want Charlotte to complete that playoff push so bad

 

Dude is a gym rat. His shot looks completely different now than it did in the beginning of the year.

I also saw that since Feb. 5 (22 games) only Danny Green and Landry Shamet have a better 3P% of players who have attempted more than 100 3s.

He's also pretty much completely eliminated his awful 20-22 foot jumper that for whatever reason he had fallen in love with throughout the first few weeks of the season.

 

The gym rat thing is true of so many guys though and they don’t see these kinda results. I need specifics. Because if this is for real it changes so much about his reasonable outcomes as a player.

Was it a form thing? Strength and conditioning? I need a deep dive!

 

The Rocket fans in this thread are pretty nice but the Rocket fans on twitter and in general the internet are really shitty haha

 

it's why I'm feeling a it more confident about the playoffs now because Giannis is gonna be playing almost 40 minutes a game - they have the best record and haven't even had to flex Giannis that much yet haha

 

Ya'll aint ready

 

Cleveland.com just did an article about his improvement last week. Some of the details are in here:

How Collin Sexton’s change in shot selection -- and teammates’ yelling -- has led to a historic stretch

I've heard some other stuff during Cavs pregame shows where they just talk about how he's putting up like 700 shots a day in practice - or some absurd number like that. His form has 100% changed since earlier in the year (which I think is mentioned in the article) and he's been playing off the ball a lot more since they started starting Brandon Knight.

EDIT: Also, Kevin Love didn't play like, the first 50 games of the season, so him coming back has been an overall boost to the Cavs offense - and Sexton has benefited a lot from having Love on the floor.
