There’s also college hoops. They may not be as good but they’re play with way more passion and frankly some fan bases could learn a thing or two from watching student sections. Plus you can see some guys like Peterson, Dybantsa or Boozer play you can make a bit more informed of choices when you fill out that office bracket.

The USA have a couple of matches left in the Cricket World Cup coming up over the next couple of days for those looking to try watching something new. They even have a reasonable chance of winning one or both of them.

It’s also the T20 version, so one match only takes about as long as an NBA game.

GRN-E

67 | 5 hours ago

Google says:

”.5 Basketball refers to a high-tempo offensive concept where a player makes a decision—shooting, driving, or passing—within half a second of catching the ball. This principle, popularized by Steph Curry, prevents the ball from “sticking” and keeps the offense dynamic. It emphasizes zero-second decision making to maintain offensive momentum, disrupt defenses, and create high-percentage scoring opportunities. The core reads on the catch are:

Shoot if you have space and a good shot. Drive if the defender is close but not chest-to-chest. Pass if the defender is tightly guarding you (chest-to-chest). This strategy is critical for converting advantages into points and is taught in youth and professional programs alike. It’s also known as “5-Mentality” by the Detroit Pistons. “

Dude is not afraid to attack the rim, pass the ball to the open man and defend he’s what Lakers need but obviously the team is still lacking more idk why JJ refuse to let Adou play more mins when they are ahead.

The only problem is the perimeter defenders are still thinking AD is still somehow protecting the rim whenever they got blown by or back cut’d lmao

Kennard is an upgrade for sure than Gabe. He’s a real nba player

Great for the price but they really needed at least 1 really good defender for the year. I guess if this is a gap year, its whatever

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

He’s the kind of move the Lakers need to be looking for much more often. We often go for stars and big names, but really our deficiencies lie with the depth of our bench. If we can get a better rim protecting center for the long term to put next to Luka and like 2 more of these kinds of decent role players, I think we would be in a very good spot

his layup% is genuinely like 30%. It is insane how bad he is at converting anything that isn’t a jumpshot or a wide open dunk

I wonder how many more times he’ll break this record

bar901 | 76ers

3 | an hour ago

Unless the Lakers win this year - which is unlikely - he’ll surely go another year so he’ll absolutely push the record to 42. Would be totally plausible for him to score a few 12-10-10 type triple doubles as a back up PG type player until he’s like 45 but can’t imagine he’ll play more than 1 more season after this.

Wild stuff either way.

Would have been interesting to see if Max Christie would have gotten a bigger role in LA if he had stayed

I think if he did, he would always be the trade bait every deadline for a star

flaming_burrito_ | Lakers

1 | 11 minutes ago

I definitely think he would have. He’s like the perfect role player to put next to Luka on the starting lineup, the Lakers have been looking hard for a 3nD guy like him to put on the roster
