I honestly think that the difference maker between Game 7 was on the coaches and the adjustments being made. Yes there were horrible calls but If Stevens, Pop, Walton, Snyder or even Spo was working with the same personnel, the Rockets would have been the 2018 Champs, CP3 or not.
That's my point. You know that you're not getting calls but you're repeating the same formula hoping for a different result. Once you start seeing that your threes aren't falling and that the refs are swallowing their whistles, then it's on the coach to make the proper adjustment. Subbing in...
I don't think you can differentiate advanced stats and the actual product on court, fam. Try hooping one time and you'll see that the mental aspect of the game cant be aggregated by stats.
You can't compare playoff intensity to regular season games. Iso-ing on Curry and then barreling into Dray/Jordan Bell instead of going for the open shot was just bad adjustments by MDA, especially if the refs weren't going to give Harden his calls.
If you're missing 27 straight, I'd rather you take the open, midrange shot instead of subbing in Ryan Anderson and hoping for a miracle. That sub was basically the turning tide of the game.
Isos are one of the most physically exhausting plays and can't be relied on consistently. You could see how gassed he got towards the end of games. It's dumb how MDA didn't realize that shooting has a large mental component and stray away from the 3 to the midrange once they started missing 10...
5mm zoom bag + 15mm React is more than enough for cushion, unless you're built like a preteen. These look like they'll be the GOAT jump/plyo shoes... Interesting.
Well it is made out of Flyknit, so it's pretty much a given that it's going to start out tight and stiff and then stretch and conform to your foot over time.
So looks like these will ride and play high with poor lateral support like the 9/10. Bummer. Might still cop for plyo workouts though, and because they don't look that bad on feet.
These are the best of LeBron's to date. Extremely bouncy, great traction and relatively lightweight on foot. It's my new go to jump shoe and definitely in the hoop rotation.
