OT: Gilbert Arenas Talks About Resting Players

[Risk101]

no.chill.gil@lindacohn Do you remember a player by the name of #iverson and his famous quote y'all mocked for years "practice? We talking about practice? Not the game,not the game I go out there and DIE FOR"if you've never stepped foot on an NBA floor your not a expert,you're just a person out there giving ur expert opinion on a profession you're not actually an expert in so I'll help out..let's take my man #BrodieWestbrook this man goes 1000% on that floor 3-5 days a night..study shows it takes an avg player less then 72hrs to fully recover..now if these guys can't actually fully recover with 3-5 games a week now throw in PRACTICE, let's talk about PRACTICE....U think #brodie don't practice just as hard ? He goes 1000% in practice also..how can Westbrook recover to preform like he does? During an 8hr flt?

The NBA is being filled with younger coaches who treat **** like it's college and run players down during the season..so now players are staying fatigued,beat up and missing actual games..if u guys wanna know how to rest players during an NBA season without disrespecting the games! Talk to doc rivers #ThePlayersCoach he understands rest is the MOST important thing during a season so midway through his teams barely practice..it's march if u don't know the plays by now your not a professional..practice is never about the other team..it's about ur stuff..reg season is based off your principles you've learned during training camp,an not much focus on the team ur facing day to day..unless u have shoot around the day of the game where u run over key plays for that team..if ur playing against #GS go over on screens with #curry, if he runs a pick with another shooter #Switch..go under all pick and rolls with #livingston if they repick switch..force klay to come off the right side on a pin down his shot is alot slower that way,if he does come off the left side be prepared to switch and make sure u talk becuz that's a freethrow for him that way..force green to score and be one Dimensional and not let him pick us apart with an all around game..I haven't practice one day this season and I'll understand the game #kerr do what's best for your team,this is chess not checkers

Gilbert talked about training camp and running offensive sets in practice. "Run your stuff not worry about other teams"

Once again, this year, our "head coach" came in with no plan for offense in training camp -
Right from the get go we were ****.

[YogurtProducer]

**** based off this thread you'd think we were last in Offense

[Badonkadonk]

The only thing Glibert is good for is to be the punch line of a Jeopardy answer.

He came in with no plan you say, and yet he's constantly running sets.

Are you pointing at Demar's unsustainable uptick in efficiency from long 2s masking a complete non-system to draw attention away from the simple improvement we could make as a team to be EVEN better?

[Grandia]

I think Gilbert would work better with DeRozan than Casey. Gilbert really understands "Empty the clip."

[refshateRaps]

When Gilbert make sense you know you have bad coach.

Casey has wore down Kyle every year. Its one thing to be really smart and give your best players with full days off like Pops does but its just insanity to play your best and grittiest player 35 mins a night even in unnecessary regular season games.

Every GD season after the AS break Lowry start to show wear and tear. Casey is a moron.

Lowry is the key, so is JV, everyone else is secondary.

Gilbert, don't bring the whole league into this just because you were made of glass.

That was a really long response.

Gilbert had a tough road to the NBA. Well documented.

Obviously it's a catch 22. If he behaved himself better then he wouldn't get love from the average fan for being too real. Too real is an understatement with Gil.

If he was a first round pick, and mostly kept his mouth shut throughout his playing career, maybe he would have an analyst position right now in the media. Would love to see his actual opinion, and well prepared to dish it on a proper stage instead of Instagram.

If I were him I wouldn't waste my breath but obviously he's passionate about the game, and still watches it unlike maybe some former players now analysts that barely even watch the game as intently as Gil might.

As far as my personal opinion on the matter I'm not gonna get into it since both sides, fans vs players get mad trying to explain the concept vs the other. It's pretty much beating a dead horse. Although, true that it has only occurred within less than the past 24 hours.

So, to our fans, just be glad that the Raptors starting lineup suited up last night, even as bad as last night's game was. Most of us would rather have Kerr as a coach compared to Casey anyways. Fans are always gonna think they can do the players and coaches jobs better than the players and coaches themselves anyways. It's the nature of the beast.

he understands ball gilbert would make baketball exciting again

[tnugget]

He's no perfect player, career wise, but a lot of people wouldn't wanna see Gilbert Arenas at his actual peak in today's NBA game. If a time machine could bring back 2005-2006 Gilbert Arenas and the swag that he had in that season to be able to step onto the court of any current NBA arena and/or even in any era you had to respect how much he could make your life a living hell as an opponent.
