Fontecchio should try more paint trips. Get some buckets to drop and all of a sudden that 3 starts dropping too.

He can dribble. Honestly in today's NBA I think almost everyone can get a drive off, between how easy the whistles are and how much they let you palm the ball.

How long has it been since palmiing was called? 20 years ago? Why is it illegal?

The stats after the 1h will be essentially useless this game.

But should be very clear, that our defense fuels our pace and offense. Not the other way around.

This game is a bit of an anomaly, but in general I just want us to stop trying to force guys to play a position above they can defend. That means Norm only at the 2 or 1 even, Tyler only the 1. More Ware helps alleviate that.


But if davions shot is legit and he can add volume? You put that with his defense in front of wiggins, bam, and ware? That changes things.

That's going to be a discussion no one wants to have.


That'd be nice. thru last season and into this season he's always been more of a very selective low volume 3 pt shooter--only taking those in just the right spot/setting that he feels comfortable with. Thats how he keeps his percentage right.

The start was Allen Iverson. He'd do a half palm thing and they'd let him get away with it because it was entertaining and the league needed a replacement for Jordan. But it got progressively sillier and sillier, to the point that now you can literally have your entire palm under the ball for half a second and not get called.

Heat took their foot off the pedal on D with that last lineup and got cold on offense. Gotta get that defense, or else.

Blowouts are fun but you don't learn anything from them. Still barely any minutes for Kel'el, still forcing Herro with point guards.

You learned that powell isn't a sf and that he and herro have zero chemistry so far.
