It was either run or take a charge in practice and I gladly ran.

 

[clyde the glide]

I used to hate doing "charging" drills. Tail bone was bruised for weeks. Pause.

Yup no fun for us guards bigs loved it

 

[Zo gif]

This a bad year for Houston sports.
I love it

 

[blakep267]

That's not a charge tho, it's supposed to be a blocking foul

Tell they to refs who call fouls on Ben Simmons

 

[sneeker]

Nobody had the Hornets winning more games than the Pels. Melo came in and lit a fire on that team.

you forgot to credit Rozier who got better over time and playing lights out this season and Gordon Hayward. in fairness to Zion, he has Ingram of all people (Mr. Inconsistent and Lonzo). removing both Zion and Lamelo in the mix, Bobcats are still way better compared to the Pelicans.

 

[lovehateself]

i wasnt taught how to take charges
i was taught to move my feet and stay in front of my man

 

[getback]

Do you mean falling on your back with or without contact? If there’s contact, defender stopped and is outside of the restricted area, that’s a textbook charge.

Yeah I know what the rule is I've acknowledged that several times. I'm only saying I don't like the run to a spot just to fall over because it encourages flopping. Like Trae Young ain't knocking Brook Lopez over but flop and draw the charge.

Little or no contact, not enough to actually cause a player to fall over. The player falling over is doing so to exaggerate the play in order to draw the foul. Do not like it. If a player lowers their shoulder and tries to drive through a player's chest, then yeah offensive foul.

Not stuff like this though. Was never a fan.

Man silver better do right by H-Tine. I can’t take multiple seasons of this.

Bruh OKC lost 3 mvps. We need Silver to do us right and freeze that envelope.

 

[sneeker]

I'm telling you if you make that trade the Hornets would be a worst team.



Where the wins at though? All that talent and Pelicans are still bottom dwellers.

I will still choose the Bobcats over the Pelicans.

Nick Collison was one of the all time undercut an already airborne player and get the call still guys. Nash was pretty prolific too. Its kind of a European play really. I hate refs taking away amazing dunkons to call bs charges.

 

[sneeker]

I didn’t think the Pels were a playoff team. I thought the hornets would be about 10th ish in the East.

we can talk about comparing the 2 teams’ records but there is only a 2 game difference.

for me, Ingram is a bad fit if you are going to make him your man on your team. he is too inconsistent and plays too much hero ball to be that guy that would win you games. atleast Clarkson is finally realizing his role and playing much better as a 6th man on the Jazz. point is, I don't see both Ingram and Zion playing their best together.

What I'm saying is Terry and hayward are playing better because of Lamelo.

 

[sneeker]

Damn I went to sleep Thinkin it was no way even the Kings could mess up that lead with just a min left

who was that tall guy on the Kings that kept on fouling players in that remaining 1 minute? that jabroni cost them the game.

 

[pmatic]

aepps20

 

[sneeker]

even without Lamelo in the game? WOW. that is so extraordinary. the real GOAT, way better than AD.

 

[don ramon]

beat me to it with the story of okc turning in one of their "patriot" employees

 

[pums]

never ever intentionally took a charge my whole life **** aint worth it. I don’t have that Kyle Lowry thickness to absorb

 

[wavycrocket]

He know wsup

Foul. Atlanta ball

I will

I think I tried to draw a charge twice early in my HS career and didn’t get the call either time, so I was done with it after that.

Only four teams in the Eastern conference are above .500

 

[wavycrocket]

Only four teams in the Eastern conference are above .500

How it’s been since 1999.

 

[Zo gif]

Only four teams in the Eastern conference are above .500

Sounds about right.

 

[getback]

I used to just body up or make play on the ball strip/block.
