Probably been watching the Foxtel reruns. :P


LOL... or sadly in my case I am just old enough to remember the originals... I'm 48 and did live in the US for a short while.

I dont like the arc on that shot


Looks better than I thought it would to be honest... but you can see he has re-modelled something because there is no consistency there. I could tell just after his release which ones were going in and which one's weren't by the way he shot it. His action looks good with the ones he gets in... which is promising. Just months and years of repetition now needed so it becomes second nature.

Agreed. This is a multi summer process, but that shot looks much better to me.

Im not a shooting coach. But from what i know the higher the arc, the higher chance the ball can go in. And for a with poor shooting touch like ben, its hard to shoot a high % with that shooting arc.

Smh can we just let the kid work on his shot without everyone acting like they are some kind of "shooting guru"? Ben worked with coach Johnson In LA over the offseason and is now working our new shooting coaches we got from the Spurs who are well respected in the game. He's not gonna be perfect overnight but he's clearly made steps forward.

Ray Allen and Kawhi Leonard are two gifted shooters that quickly come to mind with below average arc.

His shot still looks rather slow, but I do like the fact that his elbow seems much more aligned and the progression through it's motion looks smoother. I don't expect him to shoot the lights out, but the more robotic his mechanics get, the better of a shooter he'll be, from the free throw line and beyond.

Beyond the obvious in this video it's also nice to see how thin Ennis looks. He's lost a lot of weight.

It seems like everyone on the team has extra motivation this year. They know they have a shot at a ring.

Thybulle is going to get a lot of steals this year. He definitely has that instinct down pat that translate on all levels.

That breakaway dunk attempt though... woof.

Horford at 4 will take some time to get used to, specially with a heavy read and react system.
