What is "sides sides style"?

What is "sides sides style"?

I was saying that it is not surprising that he doesn’t dunk because we know his style. But I liked the confirmation that he can dunk it. I wish I had saved or remembered where I heard that from.

 

[nuraman00]

He probably does have a few dunks in his career, in official games.

Story from Stockton’s son.

Story from Stockton’s son.

Sounds reasonable.

I figured that someone that has played that many minutes, would probably have had a few dunks in his career.

Maybe the crowd didn't react to other things Stockton did during that game, either, as they hadn't fall in love with him yet.

I wish this pic was from NBA Jam T.E., and not NBA Jam. Since I like the former game more.

However, the latter game had an occasion where the glass could be shattered, from a dunk. I was mad that they took it out in NBA Jam T.E.

So, if that pic was from a moment when Stockton was about to shatter the glass, then I like that pic.

Why is Johnson in the corner? Terrible defense by Johnson, running away from the play.

No, Johnson is being dunked on. Depth perception is off, he’s not in the corner.

 

[nuraman00]

How do we know wether that's Barkley or Johnson?

Story from Stockton’s son.

What is David talking about? When Stockton lays it up, I get excited and yell because it's gorgeous, the way he does it.

 

[nuraman00]

Sometimes on Fox World Series postgame shows, they have a segment where they play a foreign language call, and the other studio hosts have to guess what language the call was in.

Since the NBA Finals are usually broadcast in 170+ countries, I wonder if we can find a good foreign language Jazz highlight.

 

[nuraman00]

Or, we could probably find a few regular season or playoffs French highlights, since France probably broadcasts a few Jazz games, because of Gobert (and previously Diaw).

 

[nuraman00]

Also, when you watch certain players miss a lot of layups, then maybe some people appreciate Stockton making most of his.

Did Frank Jackson miss a lot of layups? What other Jazz players did that?

Detroit - 2/2/2021

Good News: Mitchell is back.

Bad News: Bogdanovich is back.

 

[MHSL82]

Just in time, Bogdanovich improved. He was 3 – 10. That’s not bad, but after having two great games following a bad start of the year, I didn’t want a bad game. 5-12 is ok.

 

[MHSL82]

Third overtime game in a row for the Lakers. Probably third win. And while I dont want to play them because careful what you wish for, I’d rather play them tired. And without Davis. But this hard stretch is Laker-less and when they Jazz do play them, Davis will be back and the Lakers won’t have an OT streak going on (unless a coincidence).

 

[MHSL82]

And Bucks lost tonight. The chances of them losing twice in a row is lower than once. We can still win and should if we compete, but darn Suns.

Nuggets or Lakers, who should the Jazz root against tonight? One, Lakers losing increasing the chance of keeping the 1 seed longer and further wins may make it more likely to keep. Nuggets are in the division so a big slide later could jeopardize that.

I know the answer is root for the Nuggets, but with three Laker OT wins and a 20 point comeback, I’m tired of being disappointed.
