I'm sure accommodating 16 NBA teams in the bubble isn't exactly easy.

They did it just fine in the seeding games. You can get better ratings if you have 2 games starting an hour after each other at a later time instead of having the first game at 1 pm on a workday

Trivia question. Who is Ohio's all time leading scorer? Jon Diebler, LeBron or Luke Kennard.

Kennard is a turncoat sob

Who is Ohio's all time leading scorer?

Baker Mayfield in a Cheesecake Factory parking lot?

I've forgotten what it's like to care about looking at the times playoff games start so you'll have to forgive me

The only thing that separates him is he is 6 foot 8

The name from Ohio State that most resembles Duncan of late is Jon Diebler

You know what he shot in college from 3 his senior year?

51 percent lol

Duncan was 38

Seriously? Jon Diebler?



The Heat forward is putting together one of the greatest shooting seasons of all-time in his first full year in the league. Robinson is hitting 44.6 percent of his shots from behind the arc, but his accuracy alone doesn’t capture the impact of his shooting. What makes Robinson special is his accuracy on such immense volume. Of his 9.3 field goal attempts per game, 8.1 come from three-point range. It’s helped him compile a 67.4 true shooting percentage that ranks top-10 in the NBA and has him tied for the lead

Duncan in 2nd in the league to Harden in made 3’s. I didnt look, but I pretty much can guarantee his % isnt even close.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Have you seen Lebron practice his 3's? You would think he is the best shooter ever lol. Yeah even centers who don't shoot 3's look pretty good in drills

If LeBron ever made 93/100 3’s, iit wasnt during a Heat drill.

LeBron isn’t going to hit 93 but there are a lot of guys in the league who can.

Would bet every team has at least 1 guy capable of that.

Some have multiple.

I doubt it. Every team? Who are these elite shooters?

I looked, Duncan shot 10% better then Harden. That is a huge difference.

Like I said in their respective last years in college Diebler hit 51 percent and Duncan hit 38

OK. And?
I looked, he’s been in Turkey for years.
Duncan was at All Star weekend.

Just saying his rise to stardom is pretty damned random

You aren’t getting it.

93/100 in a drill isn’t as good as you think it is.

Harden can definitely do it. Game percentages are a lot about shot selection and shot difficulty. Very few, if any, take higher difficulty 3s than Harden.

We’ll have to agree to disagree on the drills. Duncan said the Heat coaches told him 93 was team record, so its certainly not common.

As far as Harden, are you saying he is taking shots that he shouldn’t be taking?
Seems like gunning up low % shots isn’t a great idea when so many games are close.
Especially not smart when he has the skillset to get to the rim and or get fouled.

Whiteside getting it done when it matters most.

Really?

Heard he was kicked outta the league.

Really?

Yep. He got lazy after he got paid.
Had 20+ technicals and multiple fights.
Disrupted locker room, so they finally had enough and traded him to Bangladesh.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Long way to go, but if Blazers lose this game.....

 

[bksballer89]

Portland need to make these open 3's/play a little defense in this quarter if they plan on winning
